Synthesis & Tools of the Trade: Moog Sub Phatty 

These Videos should be getting progressively better, as Im an audio engineer, trying to learn as much as possible on video editing and cinematography, etc. Stay tuned, I really benefit from all the feedback! Thanks

Love my sub phatty . My first synth and when I get on it , hard to walk away, it's addicting.

That filter sound is absolutly bonkers! So crispy! Love it!

Fantastic mini tutorial - keep up the good work. Obviously you enjoy your work, that's great. Thanks.

Super cool demo and enlighten explanations! It made me see my Sub Phatty in a hole new light! Thanks!!!

I was going to right something more at length but David Martin Davies has said most of it, my last Mono synth was an Octave Kitten I loved it but got distracted by poly keyboards that claim to do everything (which of course they dont) I have watched loads of 'Sub Phatty' reviews but this has been the best by miles that perfect balance of explaining things thoroughly but not talking to you like an idiot, I do have the money for a 'Sub 37' but fear that a 35 year jump from a Kitten to something as complex as a 'Sub 37' would be a few steps too far, I just wish Moog had given the 'Sub Phatty' an extra octave like they did on the 'Sub 37' nonetheless thank you so much Arie for a fantastic and enlightening review.

Thanks for sharing however, I'm looking for more demonstrations and under the hood effects for (bass patches ). There is only one video where Larry, Stevie, Bennie and Lonnie are performing a sample of riffs on the Sub Phatty. Who is brave enough to do detailed video demo on how to obtain certain "Phatt Bass Sounds?" Even the manual doesn't provide a full array of Bass sounds -settings. Okay let's be clear, I speaking of the bass sounds heard on today's R&B Hip-hop and Contemporary Pop!..... The Funk Bass settings of Parliament-Flash Light, Earth Wind and Fire-Groove Tonight and Tom Brown's - Jamaica Funk. So go ahead do this for many synthesizer enthusiasts and bassists so the full aspect of the Moog Sub Phatty can be enjoyed!

That was a huge help! Good job sir. You and the sonic state guy helped me make my decision to buy one.

A walk through using the sub phatty editor would be great! Loved the video!

White noise at the turn of a knob. 74 Mini D, had to turn a few knobs and tweak it. Sub white noise sounds less like wind blowing through the trees. Good video

Hey there, what synth stand is that? I like the height.

This is great...thanks for making this video. I wonder if you might do a similar one for the Moog Subsequent 37 (although much of it is probably the same as for the Sub Phatty). Also, I would echo one of the other commenters about how nice it would be to see/hear some musical context, perhaps demonstrate how these synths might be used to recreate some classic and iconic synth sounds. Thanks again; great video!

Amazing video. About to pull the trigger and this has pulled it. Great sounds and explanations.

An MS-20 Mini and the Sub Phatty is the best you can currently achieve for a pretty low price in comparison to other analogue synthesisers; the Sub Phatty is the musical kind, with a very tasty, tamed and orthodox sound, whereas the MS-20 is the rebel, the rule-breaker with a taste for unearthly sounds. For my Hip-hop compositions I'd use the Moog for its wonderful sound, but when working on sound design I would go with the MS-20. At least in my opinion.

Nice review- I like your presentation style. By the way mine will arrive by the end of the week.

Very nice video, well done !

Thanks Arie. I checked this out because I'm anticipating delivery of Moog Sub Phatty next week. I have been "into" analog moogs since 1967 but onIy now they are getting into my price range. I can get my head around some of the principles and the tutorials such as yours are going to be really helpful. A very real concern of mine is lack of keyboard skill though I intend to work on some techniques with a real-life tutor. Albeit I need them for a mono keyboard. I am not averse to some sequencing and indeed would love to check out a moogerfooger delay. I don't think a sequencer/arpeggiator would be out of place but my sensibility is telling me go get keyboard skills, Your advice would be really welcome. Your tutorial was easy to follow, thank you for taking the time and trouble. Cheers, Dave

nice , you know your stuff !

It worth seeing it. Thanks!

Really enjoyed your video !

Great video, keep it up

So hooked on that PHATT! Curious, what do the dampeners/foam pads on the wall do for your audio? Is that just to keep the sound from going through the wall some? Nice video by the way.

This was a perfect presentation of a wonderful synthesizer. Next time you do a video, ould you not gate your vocal? It's nice and clean, but it's hard to listen to. If the are no breaths between phrases I feel like suffocating :) anyway, I'm on the lookout for new videos, thanks! :)

Thank you for this! I learned a lot. I noticed you had the master volume all the way up. When I play live with the Sub Phatty, it’s usually so loud that I have the volume at a 2. I’m wondering if this is normal or if when setting up I did something to effect it. Thank u!

Thanks man good demo, I learned a lot so yeah thanks! I'm interested to see how it would interact with my theramin, probably fantastically They've done a good job re analog plus digital equals almost perfect BTW yo from Bristol England, a pretty fucked up place I call it home

Multidrive up all the way - all through the first part of the review?

is it possible to play chords on the sub phatty? i've only been able to play single keys / riffs. + any chance for a pluck sound tutorial on it?

Can someone please produce a video of this instrument being used in a "musical" setting; demonstrating the unit in a band. I am so tired of demos of funny sounds. I am keyboard player, who plays live and in the studio. Hearing it with a band is more important to me than hearing someone playing a bunch of sound effects.

Q about CV. There is CV in (Pitch CV)...and I would like to use it for FM frequency modulation. Is it possible? Does it modulate osc frequency? I would buy it if this can do FM bass ;) I have checked manual but didn't get my answer from it. Thx for help and great video. If you need feedback - it is hidden in my Q above ;)

Pleaaaase, could you tell me how to tune in this last patch of yours? You are not in active panel mode, so I am not sure if it's just what I am seeing there. Thanx... BTW I don't mean that you have to, but it would be nice!

Nice. But watching this in 2018. Pls suggest me how it is in latest? I wish it to use mainly for bass and some solid crazy sounds. One more question sub phatty or model d?

Don't they(Moog) have any Polyphonic synth?

Amazing video. About to pull the trigger and this has pulled it. Great sounds and explanations.
