Synth in 60: Moog Mother-32s and a Sub Phatty #2

Published on Apr 25, 2016 Patrick OBrien

"The Moog Sub Phatty and two Moog Mother-32s play together to for this patch, with background drum tracks from my modular synth.

The focus is how the two Mother-32s tempos are synced with each other. I'm also sending a clock to the modular synths (off camera) where I'm using Hexinverter Mutant Bassdrum, Mutant Snare, Mutant HiHats and Mutant Clap modules -- adding in Malekko's Varigate 4 for the trills in the Mutant Clap.

The Moog Sub Phatty's unique scream comes from the software editor program with a library of presets, one called "Death of Dr. Who".

The Korg MS-10 provides the bass drone near the end."

Synth in 60: Moog Mother-32s and a Sub Phatty

Published on Apr 21, 2016 Patrick OBrien

Unfortunately this one abruptly cuts off.

"Opened up the manual to deep dive into the Mother-32, but that analog spirit just took over the controls. Throwing the Moog Sub Phatty and two Moog Mother-32s together to come up with this patch, with background tracks from my modular synth.

The focus is how the two Mother-32s tempos are synced with each other. I'm also sending a clock to the modular synths (off camera) where I'm using Hexinverter drum modules, the Make Noise telHARMONIC, and Make Noise Pressure Points to carry the bass line.

The Moog Sub Phatty's unique driving sound creates melody halfway through, with pitch wheel modulation using a high LFO rate.

-------------------------------

I recorded audio and video with an iPhone 6+

This patch is 60 seconds long, which is why I named it "Synth in 60"

No computers were used in the performance of this piece. All synths recorded live in a single take."

First Look at Moog's New Analog Synth by Herb Deutsch

NAMM 2013: NEXT FROM MOOG...

Published on Jan 9, 2013 MoogMusicInc·221 videos

"During Moogfest 2012, Synth Pioneer and collaborator of Bob Moog, Professor Herb Deutsch, visited the Moog Machine Shop to explore Moog's next generation analog synthesizer while in it's research & design phase.

Since the inception of the synthesizer, Bob Moog tested his ideas, instruments, and sounds with musicians and colleagues, most notably Wendy Carlos and Herb Deutsch on the Moog Modular systems.

This spirit of collaboration continues at the Moog factory to this day and is essential to our work. It is a key part of the product development process, as it furthers our ideas and helps us shape better tools for musicians."

Update: Some notes/analysis (I may add to this so check back and of course, feel free to add yours in the comments): It sounds aggressive. Note the Multidrive - pre-filter gain in addition to the overload on the Little Phatty. Also pointed out are the sub oscillator and noise generator.

It looks tiny!  It will be interesting to see how it is ultimately packaged.  The one Herb is playing in this video has a two octave keyboard and is smaller than the Phatty. A new mini Mini? A new Prodigy?

Note he never touches the left panel. On the right the large knob is obviously the filter cutoff knob. Bottom right of it is the Multidrive. I'm guessing the bottom left would either be resonance or possibly a separate gain knob for the Multidrive? The center knob to the left appears to be the sub oscillator. To the right you can clearly see what looks like two ADSRs and a Volume knob. Possibly a separate headphone volume knob? The bottom left knob on the board is the noise generator and to the right of it (the bottom left of the two adjacent knobs) I'm guessing is Filter Env amount as it adjusts the filter amount as he turns it.  What's the knob to its right?  A separate Res Env amount?  That would interesting.

As for the left board, there are three switch type knobs in the top row.  I'm guessing one selects the oscillator for the corresponding knobs, one for oscillator waveform, and one for octave pitch.   What's not clear though is if this is a one osc plus sub or multi-osc plus sub synth.  I only hear one osc plus sub.  You don't hear the typical beating between oscillators, but then Herb mentions "stable oscillators" in the plural. The knob above and below the sub oscillator knobs are likely oscillator levels.  The bottom row on the left looks like they could be a pitch envelope.   Finally, a knob for audio in and the last two knobs for an LFO?

As for sound, my initial impression was that this sounds aggressive. More so than my Voyager. Similar to the Minitaur (see my review), but drier sounding for some reason. I'm guessing it's just the patch he's playing, but we'll see. To date, I'd say the Voyager, Phatty series, and to a large extent, the Minitaur all have the same tonal quality. They have that creamy analog Minimoog feel to them. It will be interesting to see if this synth can go in another direction. The first obvious thought would be Arturia's Minibrute. Herb doesn't make a point to call out a completely new direction for the Moog sound though. His message is the classic Moog filter sound with new Multidrive and Noise.

Moog Sub 37 - Duo Mode Improvisation

Published on Aug 16, 2014 Zach Ashcraft

"Duo Mode is an incredibly welcome addition to the Moog Sub 37. The ability to play two notes at once opens up the door to a wide array of new musical possibilities. I loved this more mellow sound, and just wanted to improvise on a harmonic progression. I'm adjusting the filter cutoff throughout the change the timbre. The sub-oscillator is dialed in just a bit.

Recorded through the Apogee Duet. No other effects, EQ, compression, etc. applied. This is straight out of the Synth."

Moog Sub 37 - Unboxing + First Hour

Published on Aug 14, 2014

"Sounds 100% Sub 37 - Synth, Bass, Drums

The Moog sub 37 arrived at my doorstep today, after parting ways with the Slim Phatty. Within an hour, I was able to dial in a range of kicks, snares, bass, and lead tones with so much ease and speed. This synth is going to become a staple of studios and live rigs."

Sub Phatty | MULTIDRIVE

Published on May 21, 2013 MoogMusicInc·240 videos

"In this video we demonstrate the power and versatility of one knob per function synthesis. Watch and listen as the track evolves and changes in response to every touch.

The Sub Phatty is the first analog synth to feature Moog's transformative new Multidrive section; at low settings Multidrive adds warmth and girth, but when pushed, it delivers a screaming snarl that is highly reactive to resonance, waveshape, and oscillator level. Experiment with this new circuit and unlock an undiscovered world of vivid analog tonalities.
