Tetra is the next-generation analog poly synth. Tetra takes the award-winning sound and features of Mopho, multiplies them by four, and packs them in a box less than half an inch larger. Tetra has multiple personalities. It is a four-voice, analog poly synth, a sort of mini Prophet. It’s a four-part, multitimbral synth with separate outputs, essentially four Mophos in one very compact box. And its a voice expander for other Tetras or the Prophet 08.

We at Gearjunkies love gear. So when we saw this really cool animation film accompanied by nice modular synth music we just had to share this with you. From the makers: “Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives.
