MOOG SUB 37, new analogue mono synths

Moog’s incredibly popular Sub Phatty is an excellent option for those on a (slightly) lower budget, but the newer Sub 37 justifies its higher price with a much more comprehensive feature set.

The Sub 37 is based on the Sub Phatty sound engine, so you can expect a slightly dirtier take on the classic Moog sound, but the end result is something quite different to the Phatty, way beyond the fact that you get a 37 keys as opposed to the Phatty’s 25. For a start there’s a third oscillator. And a second LFO. Plus there’s a sequencer. Oh, and it’s got a duophonic mode. Clearly, this is a big step up.

The Sub 37 is also easier to program than the Sub Phatty thanks to a more comprehensive array of front-panel controls. That means the overall experience is much closer to using a vintage one-knob-per-function synth than you’d get with the Sub Phatty.

If all of this sounds more like a criticism of the Phatty than praise for the 37, don’t take it the wrong way; the Sub Phatty is still a great synth, the 37 is just even better.

  • Wow, so you can plug your guitar on ‘audio in’ and what comes out is the synth sound? Can the Moog Sub 37 do this? For midi sync, I would need midi connections right? Which is better Sub 37 or Pro 2?

  • First question Are you up to date with 2025/26 in regards to DJ experience in all formats, hence vinyl records education at events whether it be 100 or 1000 attendance and advice for multi genres in vinyl and digital mixing
    They do differ In events
    Not only in headphones advice but in the transition for mixes, different levels on a mixer
    I feel this should be addressed more often for all ages esp up and coming DJs and in production as this is vital for all, not just digital mixing
    Also,Consider countries outside the UK
    No matter the economy! There is so much untapped gifted people with very little financially all over this planet
    And like myself with 30 years experience DJLUSHNZ in New Zealand Spent 20 years in London until 4 years ago have noticed a growing divide in DJs and producer’s who just can’t and are so stubborn in reaching out to all this talent and their crews and promoter’s won’t budge on opening their hearts and acknowledging there is a heck of a lot to be improved on and not sticking to the same old line Up or safe bet
