Moog Sub Phatty Smoother Sounds Demo

"I was asked on the Gearslutz forums (like below) if the Sub Phatty could do something that is a bit smoother and not quite so aggressive. It's no voyager, but you can get some smoothness out of it. No comments on the playing itself, please. I never said I was a musician :)

Also, I have a cold. Sorry for the heavy breathing into the mic :)

I did this all live on camera, completely dry (no effects or eq). I didn't try to create these patches ahead of time. You can certain do more, especially if you play with the two envelope generators.

Given that it's only two octaves, I can't recommend the Sub Phatty for leads and other similar work. Even for bass, I'd prefer another octave. That said, it's a great sounding synth that is built like a tank. Great knobs, great key action, and a really solid feel.

Here's the Sub Phatty recording I did which prompted this one:"


"100% Sub Phatty (including percussion) with some reverb and delay. Multi-tracked my new Moog Sub Phatty to see what it really sounds like (7 tracks). It's an angry mutha -- not your typical Moog sound, although you can hear it in the roots for sure.

Do yourself a favor and listen with headphones or something with a good bit of low end. That's where the Sub Phatty lives.

If the start of the sweep at the beginning isn't rumbling your gut, download the source file for the full sound. Phatty loses a lot in soundcloud compression because it has so much bottom end."
