Ultimately it came down to always programming a sound from scratch and only saving a preset when I had made something truly awesome that I was afraid of forgetting - which wasn't often the case. This doesn't seem like a big deal at first, but it's actually incredibly confusing. One of the biggest annoyances that I had with my Voyager is that once you changed a preset, the front panel in no way matched the sound coming out. ![]() You just have to resist turning the various things that affect gain/distortion up to get less aggressive tones out of these Moogs - it can require restraint because the overdrive sounds good, but it’s in there.IMO, the LP's strengths are it's sound and ease of use and the fact that you have full preset recall and it's very easy to see what everything is set to (save for the few things that are buried in sub menus). It easily went there but you could also coax warm and dark tones out of it if you tried. I used to own a DSI Poly Evolver and it had a rep for being bright and brash all the time. One last point - the architecture of both synths does draw you toward more aggressive tones but you can resist that if you are conscious of it. You may or may not need those things, though, depending on how you intend to use the synth - if you just want a solid bass and lead machine, the Sub Phatty will work fine. You can’t go wrong picking the Sub 37 - it does all the same stuff and more (two LFOs and loopable envelopes, sequencer/arp, more keys, more controls on the front panel, etc…). The Sub 37 does more, but the Sub Phatty is a fine synth. When I sold mine to upgrade, I had come to think of it as obsolete but I don’t think that’s true after owning the Sub 37 for a while. If you are mostly after a fat Moog sound and programming basic/classic patches, I think the Sub Phatty is a good call and a real bargain (especially used) right now. The sound engines at the heart of both are, as I understand it, the same.That was a bummer for me because some features not available from the panel (like the filter pole control) are pretty useful. For me, the Sub Phatty’s keyboard access to hidden features never was something I could bother to memorize so I used less than all of its programming capabilities unless I used the computer editor. The Sub 37 has more features and, importantly, more knobs.I eventually sold the Sub Phatty and bought the Sub 37. I bought the Sub Phatty before the Sub 37 existed and felt lust in my heart for the Sub 37 from the moment it was announced. It’s also easy to program since there are knobs for all the essential params. Slim Phatty and Sub37 are more versatile since Minitaur can’t play higher pitch but for wall shaking bass sounds, Minitaur is your best bet. If you are looking for a pure bass sound only, get the Minitaur. I own both the Slim Phatty and the Minitaur and also played around with the Sub37. AFAIK it’s the filter of the Moog Taurus, which was a special bass synth. The Minitaur has a different filter design compared to the phatties or the Voyager. ![]() I also thought of the minitaur … i think i would prefer a mono synth with a keyboard … You really think the Minitaur as more depth in the low end ? ĭefinitely. And, the Minitaur is not limited to bass sounds only ) On the Sub 37 you can use filter feedback (I think the Sub Phatty has this too), and there is the MultiDrive to thicken up the sound.īut from my impression the Minitaur sounds very bassy and moogy. What about a Minitaur, if you are searching a good bass synth?įrom my experience the Sub 37 and the Voyager lose some bottom end, if the resonance is raised. Sorry for my poor English and thanks a lot for your help I would like to know if people already own both if the extra money ( 600E here in France ) worth … Money is a concern ,the most important is the sound. ![]() ![]() I have an A4+OT+AR and i would really like to get a moog sound mainly for bass but also leads. Hello i know this question was already ask but maybe people have change their mind …
