  • Mono Evolver

    Desktop monophonic synthesizer derived from the Evolver, combining analog oscillators and filters with digital wavetables and a four-track sequencer.

  • Mopho

    A monophonic analog synthesizer derived from the Prophet '08, featuring a fully analog signal path with two DCOs, two sub-oscillators, and the signature Curtis lowpass filter at an accessible price point.

  • OB-6

    The OB-6 is a six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer born from a collaboration between Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. It combines a classic SEM-based Oberheim sound engine with the modern architecture of the Prophet 6, delivering authentic vintage Oberheim tone with contemporary reliability and features.

  • Poly Evolver

    The Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver is a four-voice analog/digital hybrid synthesizer combining Curtis analog filters with digital wavetable oscillators, dual feedback loops, and four independent 16-step sequencers in a 5-octave keyboard.

It features a 100% analog signal path with digitally controlled oscillators and Curtis filters, combining vintage tone with contemporary performance capabilities including velocity, aftertouch, and full MIDI functionality.

  • Tetra

    The Tetra is a compact four-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer from Dave Smith Instruments that combines the analog circuitry of the Prophet '08 with the desktop form factor of the Mopho. It offers multitimbral capability with a 100% analog signal path, essentially packing four Mophos into one unit.

Drum Machine
