"The two sections may be overlaid or used separately, with control via the central balance slider. Many features such as Portamento, Interval, Hold etc. are foot switchable via inputs on the front panel. Naturally, the all important Voltage Controlled Filter is in residence, as is a Portamento control. Velocity Response/Touch Sensitivity is controlled by a 3 way switch. All in all, this unit is ideal for those Soundmeisters seeking to distance themselves from the all too common sameness of the modern digital era."

"Custom Serge rack, made in Oakland CA. This was owned by an art museum and used in an installation where a hallway with motion sensors would play a piano scale as you walked through it; these were used to generate the notes. These were used only for a short period and sat in storage ever since, which is why they're in such fantastic shape..."

Moog Sub Phatty Smoother Sounds Demo

Published on Jul 22, 2013 Pete Brown·27 videos

"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."
