I owned a sub37 for a few years but Had to sell it because of Corona lockdowns ruining my Business :/ That synth is a Work of Art. Absolutely juciy sounding,monstrous Low end and the Quality of this Handmade synth is unmatched, Moog is Worth every penny

[@DMxTURO]

I just started randomly watching your videos and now I understand synths. Dude you're a great teacher.

I cannot say enough about these videos! Oscar, your passion for this art form is clear and thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. There is no doubt your channel will contribute a world of good to the electronic music community. Thank you, thank you!! Keep up the outstanding work!! Churr from NZ!

[@lectriclicks]

I just got my Sub37 this past Friday and cannot agree more on how easily you can get away just tweaking away to scalp new sounds. I’ve already created a fair amount of my own sounds. Thank you for this awesome video! More awesome inspiration!

[@miroslav_official]

lovely patterns music and sweater-wise

[@OscarUnderdog]

That's what I like to hear 😁

[@MacLamar]

I’m so new to all this. YT recommend this video after I did a lot of searching about the sub 37 which I just bought. Had no idea that Ableton could play through the synth. Thanks for the demo 👍Amazing stuff.

[@alister_]

I agree with the advantages of using a hardware synth. I used to have a few when I've started playing around with synths. They were very limited in terms of modulations. So, I sold them to buy midi controllers, because I liked the capabilities of soft synths. The problem was just that: the screen, the configurations, and you know, with hardware synths, I was just a button-press away from playing any time. Computer just doesn't have the same feeling.

[@OscarUnderdog]

I agree with this very much! The immediacy of the hardware controls just have something very musical about them.

[@luke8489]

Dude, I love you. I got into hardware synths a year ago but I had trouble to turn my patch ideas into music. This video and the workflow depicted within was really inspiring for me. Thanks :)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Happy to hear that :)

[@bogati04]

these seat squeaks are the best bodzin sounds imo :D

[@nick_way]

note to self! "the key to making everything in your music sound glued together.. there's one invisible chord progression underlying all of the music that expresses itself through the different instruments"

[@Berus7777]

Well, I was on the fence between a Pro 3, Peak, and Subsequent 37. Guess which one I ordered today. Oscar should have gotten a commission. (Everyone was basically screaming "Get the Pro 3!!", and I love the Pro 3, but... the sound of that 37, even in this impromptu scenario... was just undeniable. The Pro 3 will have to wait.).

[@WillHatton]

[@OscarUnderdog]

Haha I hope the other magicians don't take offence :D

[@IncisionSheffield]

It’s such a warm and beautiful sound.

[@azimpradhan]

This video is a great example of the idea of knowing how to use your synth. As we can hear, having a moog doesn’t automatically get you the sound of Stephan Bodzin. Instead you actually need to learn how to use it

[@allyouracid]

Another amazing video. Also I really like those info graphics where you show the routing. I think this will be my new favorite sound related channel, now.

[@allyouracid]

One year later and I can say with confidence that this has indeed become my favorite sound related channel. And I don't even use Ableton Live (or much of any other DAW, for that matter), but what you explain is just so versatile that I can adapt it to my dawless setup no problem.

[@slippyg]

That thing just growls like no other. The Tribute Edition is by far the best.

[@musicismyvegetables2900]

Thx a lot Oscar. I tried to rebuild this without a hardware synth and I can say that one also can come quite close to this sounds with the arturia mini v3 plugin in ableton controlled with the knobs of a midi keyboard asigned to the different parameters of the synth.

[@mcewan-media]

Looks like such a nice way to work to get varied results from repeats

[@mikesyogapodcast]

Brilliant. I love your videos. I used to teach music tech and I still learn TONS from your videos. You're a brilliant teacher. Thanks! :) PS - Cool jumper!

[@OscarUnderdog]

Which one of us is the evil twin then? 🙃

[@SHLDMusic]

Great vid! If you cannot afford a Sub37, you can get Bodzin style sounds, with any synth and setup a parallel distortion channel with a guitar pedal followed by an Eq. 😊

Oscar - you are doing a great job. I just discovered you a few days ago and its exactly what I needed.

[@samprock]

Beautiful! Would be nice to see what exactly you’ve tweaked, next time... I recorded ( imperfect ) similar line 4 years ago when got my Subsequent 37CV. Listened all the time, as watching honeymoon or something. Was trying to replicate it, to be better or just make proper track of it and realized... I CAN’T reproduce the tone and tweaks :) So I get back watching this beaut as educational. TNX!

[@johnkearns]

Amazing video my friend. You've give me so many ideas to work with. Thank you 🙏

[@Ingyar]

Hi Oscar. Why not recording the knob performance as automation data? :) Just researched and the manual says: "Each knob and switch on your Subsequent 37 also sends and receives MIDI" I think it would be easier, well, more flexible to select/modify/assemble the final performance. Cheers!

[@MusicTutorialscom]

Extremely nice Video-thank you very much!

[@helisoma]

Oscar you need to have a sub37 in your studio your work even though a teaching process is still very inspiring...and showed me how i can use a synth for MIDI

[@m.k.a_1881]

You are the best and my fav...you are my Inspiration Maschine 👍

[@pimsoomer8641]

Great vid! I particularly liked the trick for routing the toms through the noise source on the Subsequent 37. One very minor nitpick - it’s pink noise rather than white noise on this particular synth.

[@marcelsmoorenburg]

Thank you very much! You've great teaching skills.

[@billtrantos19]

Thanks for showing this kind of workflow! I only use plugins through an Arturia Minilab, but I never thought of writing the parts down and loop takes only messing with sound design parameters. I've never seen that before on YT, most people show the final results without the actual process behind them. Can you maybe do more stuff on Bodzin or Innellea? They both do very interesting stuff in sound design.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Hey Bill! Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't heard of Innellea, but I immediately hear parrallels to my video on Funky Hihats, and the one today of the Toms :D (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TFk2V_rshrjK8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKaUkqajm6mXrJI)

[@Chris-dq6eq]

Wow, your videos are amazing and there's no channel or source quite like them. I've been dabbling in Ableton for a while and as an avid techno-fan without any music education (can't even read notes) I'm having a hard time expressing my musicality using virtual buttons and knobs. [insert I have no idea what I'm doing meme here]. Trying to get information from other sources and learning about stuff like syncopation is very useful to start understanding how sound and music works from the foundation up (which is basically the only tool I have: really understanding what is going on and why), but there's just no coherence and progression in the stuff I pick up at various random times, so in the end I'm just stuck at the same place where I want to express musicality but have no way of putting into effect what I feel, only that I understand slightly better why it sounds good :D So your channel looks amazing and I will definitely follow one of your courses to get a basis in workflowing creativity into something that is tangible enough to be tweaked with. My thoughts were to buy something like an M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 so I can make creating music more physical, because just moving my mouse and clicking doesn't give quite the level of control I'm looking for. Sorry, this became a super-long comment without any real point. So let me just reiterate that I'm thankful for your amazing videos, you reignited a spark that I'd written off and I hope to take one of your courses soon (or if this pandemic is behind us see you in Amsterdam at De School or something). Finally, if there's one musical thing I haven't figured quite out which keeps on giving me goosebumps it's the modulation of the melody in Patrice Bäumel's Serpent from a simple melody line (say, at 2:04) to something that sounds polytonal (around 2:31). It's amazing. Thank you and have a great day!
