Moog Sub 37
£1,249
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?

Damn what about the MFB Dominion 1? That’s easily one of the best monosynths on the market today.
