SUB 37 | Modulation & Sequencing

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

The first analogue synth that I own. I pushed out the boat and bought this one 3 years ago. It's a keeper

[@SpacehotelMusic]

Beautiful looking, feeling and sounding synth. Best thing in my studio now! Thanks Moog!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

yup same here. It is truly a piece and work of music art!

[@onclemack7602]

Got one yesterday and am BLOWN AWAY!!!! absolute beast.

[@N.A._McBee]

Bought a Subsequent 37 a few days ago, same experience, bro!

[@tovsteh]

I have owned the Moog Little Patty, a few Taurus versions and the Voyager. The Sub 37 is the first Moog synth I've been truly happy with, and it has lead me to sell most of my other synths. It has a vast range of features, that beautiful and full analog sound, and a look that will inspire you to use it. Paired with a Moog MF Analog Delay it will blow your mind.

[@liselottefrejdig1112]

I use my Sub 37 with Eventide Space.. Far out..

[@logicalblackman8228]

What was wrong with the voyager?

[@eyesintheskies]

Took a while to pluck up the courage to spend the money but once I got it my fears of buyers remorse seemed laughable. No regret what so ever and I’ve barely scratched the surface. Already a classic in my mind. Thank you 🙏

[@daikuone]

Would love to see more Moog Sub 37 and Mother 32 videos that help us understand the more complex options of these synths, more hidden functions, useful techniques, settings, etc. I have both of them, but am a little intimidated as to how to get the most from them.

[@vaspers]

This demo video is what pushed me over the edge as I was considering buying the Moog Sub 37 Tribute Edition analog synthesizer. I was looking at the Elektron Analog Four, and the Gotharman's Little deFormer, which I will still purchase later this summer, but the Sub 37 abruptly usurped them both and rose to #1 priority -- due to this video primarily.

[@ronnieaux5290]

The Analog Four/Keys is a masterpiece. But I'm a sucker for the Elektron stuff. If you haven't gotten one already, I highly recommend trying it out. I sequence my Sub-37 from the Analog Keys, and their tonalities sound wonderful together.

[@spicetbedhead]

This is why MOOG is MY Instrument

[@dankefurnichts]

Still the best Synth on Earth for me. I use since the first day! Just Upgraded to the subsequent 37 now 💞

[@dcashley303]

Dream synth... one day, one day!

[@ericld11]

***** I own a Voyager. Compare and contrast, please :)

[@ChesttRockkwell]

davidevoid Got it yet?

[@mohdrafi1157]

Thank So I am rhiursqqdhj

[@SPooKYChristopher]

@@mohdrafi1157 nodding out much? Haha. We're all art peepz in here just couldn't resist. I do it alllllllll thds Time

[@bruhology6437]

Same I want one of these BAD

[@0neTwo0neTwo]

@JRussoC thanks for the help, Happy Holidays!

[@RCAvhstape]

Why do I watch these videos? I can hear the sound of my money being extracted from my bank account and pouring into Moog's account with every second of video. This and the Moog Mother 32 are absolutely drool-inducing.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

yeah it is a drug. Well at least music is good for the soul and better than coke or booze.

[@therealborischang]

Whooooosh, wahwahwahwahwahwah, babababababa, mamamamama, maimaimaimaimai, wurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-kaching!!!

[@christopherpederson1021]

Hilarious

[@TiniLShadesofTL]

Had a go at SUB 37 at the music store today.....AWESOOOOME!!!

[@Beephouse]

Awesome synth!

[@HighMonkeyMonk]

The sounds he's making at 6:15. Im assuming that its in duo mode? Trying to figure out how to do something similar.

[@dominicstocker5144]

HighMonkeyMonk Sorry for the late response. He programmed a sequence and has only set one note value per step while playing in duo mode, so that the second oscillator can be played by hand, but still depends rhythmically on the sequence.

[@Dogboy73]

Some great sounds in this. I want one.

[@Descriptor_]

People will be able to put out preset packs for the next 15 years with this synth. So freaking powerful.

[@jupitor919]

Thank you Moog and thank you Amos... I love this synth and the way ya'll think and do buisness..-cc

[@christopherpederson1021]

This guy is some sort of superhero, isn't he?

[@N.A._McBee]

A happy accident generator (7:00...), that's what it is, yes 😍 😍 😍

[@0neTwo0neTwo]

which is the setting for the filter pole modulation shown in the video please (3:40), cant seem to find it

[@Russocass]

Some presets use it. I think the last preset in the video ("Just add the kick drums") uses it. I didn't analize how to use it but you can certainly find out how tweaking the presets that have it. You'll identify it seing how the filter selection changes while playing notes.

[@0neTwo0neTwo]

if you click the controllers button you can then select which one you want to mod, i cant find one that says filter pole though

[@Russocass]

You are lucky, by coincidence I just connected the sub 37 before reading your comment. Do the following steps: Controllers -> MOD 1 EDIT -> PGM DST -> FILT SLP Filt slp is the option that sends modulation to the filter pole

[@antiHUMANDesigns]

Can a mod source be applied to more than one destination? Such as applying LFO 1 to both filter cutoff and resonance? I just ordered the Subsequent 37 CV. Can hardly wait. :D

[@splodge9]

I have such a man-crush on Amos - he's awesome!

[@MrPook79]

Just got this a month ago and have a lot to learn. I need to quickly get the intro to Moving in Stereo (yes, i know it was originally played on an ARP). Anyone have some decent settings to start with?

[@dbpooper7512]

Can you modulate an LFO with an LFO?

[@mercury011]

DB Pooper Yes.

[@ronnieaux5290]

Only downer is I haven't figured out a way to make the LFO speed follow your keys, so it's very difficult to make usable FM sounds. It does static FM really well though with a "HI" mode that goes into audio rate.

[@PandaWithThineGuns]

Where would I go to learn how to use this?

[@Jake-pp2zk]

There are plenty of KZbin videos on wave synthesis. There are courses offered in schools, but the best way to learn a synth is by messing around with it and trying to understand why a certain sound is being generated. Modulation can get really complex really fast, but if you listen to the oscillators at a low frequency of movement, you start to get the idea of what's happening. Start with a basic sine wave at a low hz (maybe 2 or 3 hz - that's 2 or 3 cycles a second), then listen to the difference when you make that wave a sawtooth or square. Then jack the hz (frequency) up and listen to how the pitch is affected. You're basically creating sound waves that have different shapes. The higher the hz, the higher the pitch. It starts getting complex when you add more than one wave, or use an alternate modulation source to modulate those waves, like an LFO (low frequency oscillator). An LFO can be used to modulate a lot of things. Basically the lfo is a wave that's slowly moving up an down. If I use that wave to modulate the frequency of a sine wave, I will get a "siren" sound as the LFO moves to the bottom of its wave it brings down the freq of the sine wave (low tone) and as it moves to the top of its wave it brings up the freq of the sine wave (high tone). Its far too much info for one response ...but that is the very basics of synthesis. The best way yo learn it is to explore ...but don't do so blindly. Pay attention to where the signal is going, and try to understand why a certain sound was created. Analog synths are complex. Even the developer said there are things that they are still discovering... And they built it!!! Have fun!!!

[@TheMrValle]

watch alot of demos on youtube or go to a shop and as if you can try one, thats what i did

[@amamwaydoranaja2342]

+Greg Jacobs ุพะ

[@TheAndrewforbes88]

Does anyone know how this instrument interfaces with a computer? Can you use a midi input on your audio interface to hook it up or does it require some kind of special mixer or interface? I'm pretty new to the world of synthesizers, I know this is a noob question, but any insight would be appreciated.

[@5cre4my]

Andrew Forbes yes u can use the midi port of ur audio interface and route the signal for example into daw like ableton. there a plenty of videos on youtube where this is simply explained

[@Fauxleroid]

I would recommend a usb audio device with a midi in/out port on it. you can get midi in and out of this device with a usb lead but you need to get audio in and out too. some audio devices do not have midi ports. this does midi over usb but unless you have already sorted out your audio you will be in trouble. if you are new to this i would recommend getting a USB sound card that has midi and a Korg volca to learn about all the midi and audio stuff. or you will end up buying an amazing synth but getting frustrated because it won't sync up or work properly with your other gear.

[@TheAndrewforbes88]

Ian Cashman I'm not new to recording or audio gear, I have audio interfaces that will work based on these responses. I have just never used an analogue instrument like this. I didn't know if I needed any special kind of DAC or mixer or something. I really appreciate the responses!

[@Fauxleroid]

Just plug it in like any other midi keyboard. It's a mono instrument so you will only need one input.

[@threerecurring]

It has a USB connection so you can connect directly or you can use the MIDI connections to link via your interface.

[@travisbickle9745]

Hi thanks vor the vid! I got 2 questions remaining. I hope someone can answer them! first: can you record live? that is: play in the sequence live with the keyboard while the the midi clock from external gear is running? and the second question: what happens when you switch between sound banks, do you loose the midi clock (from external gear)? by that i mean: when you chained the sub 37 as a slave to the master device and wanna play another sound bank while the whole thing is running, do you loose midi clock? Because obviously if you are a live act you don't wanna change to another bank and suddenly loose midi while you are playing live because then you have to restart the whole set up...

[@Einhardovic]

very cool.

[@jetpacksnake9741]

Please share how you made the patch in the intro

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

does it have the same noise generator as the one in the Sub Phatty?

[@MediaMusik777]

why cant i just connect velocity to filter ....with a patch cable..or is it hidden...i dont understand why you guys would have forgot this feature ...

[@fredrikstromberg9639]

yeah, baby!

[@bisamkiez]

is there a chance that Sub Phatty gets new firmware with all that modulation routing options?

[@farimir475]

help me!! Sub 37 or Little Phatty Stage II ?? What are the major differences and why would I choose one over the other?

[@smokey5100]

Nice video

[@innocentidaniel2593]

Super cool mon prochain clavier

[@LukasKlein]

Of course it takes some time to really get into it, but I will never sell mine...

[@TherapyHiccup]

superb

[@MrHollabk]

After spending a week with it I am still thinking of sending it back and keep my Little Phatty II. Yes, its a super great piece of hardware and outperforms my LP in most aspects but I think the Little Phatty sounds more organic and "rounder" especially in the lower frequencies..

[@Cracktune]

AMOS!!!

[@AcidTechnoMan5000]

it would be nice to see a video in terms of people like me, who have no idea what he's talking about.

[@graviton9282]

It is what it is. It’s just about becoming familiar with the basics of synthesis...sometimes sounds more complicated than it actually is. Easier to show and hear something than it is to say it...

[@pdbordelon]

I only understand 25% of what the hell he is saying....all I know is I LOVE my Sub 37!

[@N.A._McBee]

I only understand 25% of its knobs but it makes these sweet sounds anyway 😍

[@toddthomas4761]

Lol. I barely know how any of it works but it’s very intuitive. Amazing synth.

[@eatshrots]

i can only imagine what a new polysynth would be like from moog. my dollars are being saved for that day ;)

[@shroompoot]

+Grant Tes You have it here. DUOphonic. The whole point is having a sound so animated that extra notes/a chord would just become a busy mishmash. But you have TWO notes here. Your baseline +your lead. It's the dream realized.

[@eatshrots]

Thirteen Wheeler tell that to Roland's Jupiter 8 ;)

[@shroompoot]

Grant Tes Ok, to a point. If your patch sounds like an organ, but if you're really cranking animation, I say extra notes just get in the way. But yup, i'm sold. Halfway there now, presently contemplating if I really need this car or not....

[@elifromla69]

Did you ever buy the polymoog?

[@fermiLiquidDrinker]

I think I want one.

[@ronnieperez7650]

Is his keyboard actually straight? I've been through 3 Sub37s and have yet to get one with a straight keyboard. They all look like someone with bad teeth...... super disappointed with the quality control. Should I go for a 4th or just give up? Such a cool synth too... :\

[@therealborischang]

Ramp Wave with Modulating Filter Poles in D Minor.

[@pietervandoorn4778]

i buy one!

[@BOTTOM432]

Damn did know Jeff Goldbloom was a Moog rep(just jokes) cool vid

[@WerkPl]

cool

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Rack version please

[@Mclennnan]

[@MysticDonBlair]

I built one of these out of a shoe box and some rubber bands.

[@Gummo22]

just when i was about to give up on moog....

[@zygmaszel8376]

No dream .....anymore 🎹

[@sams.wndrfl.wrld.of.synths]

i recite this entire video in the shower!

[@klukke]

good instrument but shitty export policy which needs to be improved immediately

[@stevesalisbury8206]

I couldn't take it I just ordered mine from musicians friend.
