How's the Mopho for funky leads?

Yeah, it can do pretty decent leads once you get used to the weak filter and learn how to program it accordingly. For the price it is actually an excellent piece of equipment. I don't know what kind of sound you're after, but the leads (beginning at 0:30) in this song were made with a Mopho anyway:

See, i thought the filters sound just fine. Not weak at all. And it can do funky leads just fine.

 

I'm sort of picky about filters and the gripe I have with all of DSI's filters is how dull they sound, when you crank up the resonance the sound dies long before it starts to self oscillate. Before I bought mine I read somewhere that it would have a "classic Curtis sound" and since the SSM2044 is one of my all time favourite filters I foolishly thought that it would at least share some similarities. It didn't and I was a bit disappointed, frankly. But now I'm over it and I really like the Mopho for what it is, it's got very specific tone. I'm actually thinking of getting a Tetra, too.

If you can play and modulate as well as the guy in the video, you can basically take every instrument like synthesizer, workstation, rompler, softsynth or Mopho for funky leads.

 

Some Mopho sounds, though I can't play well at all: http://www.trippler.net/files/p1/mopho3exc.mp3

That's true, but I prefer an analog synth I can tweak :)

 

A Korg MS2000 might definately work as well though.
