MOOG Subsequent 37 Paraphonic Analog Synthesizer | 37 Semi Weighted Keys, Headphone Amp, 256 Presets, Screen and Software Editor

There are lots of reviews that explain how to use this (check out looploop on YouTube) so I’ll focus on things that I think help you make a decision if this is right for you, your level of experience and how it fits into your current set up.I will say this is an excellent synth for beginners. Mainly because it is so compact, and the limitations on the front panel force you into really understanding signal flow, how to use and modulate your oscillators and it even comes with some presets.The build quality is just superb. It’s a bit heavy but it just feels fantastic. The knobs are like butter with just the right amount of resistance and it’s just a very playable synth. Great for sound design and baselines.One thing worth mentioning is it doesn’t have a hold or arpegiator built in. But this is great when paired with your computer. Simply send midi in and you can do much of this through your pc/Mac. The real sacrifices you make with this is for the compact size.The sound quality is great. Classic moog filter that just feels great. Be sure to read into the additional features with the companion software but I think you’ll get a few weeks easily just using it by itself.The keybed is small (but I think this is the point) but you can easily extend this by plugging a midi keyboard into it... it’s pretty darn impressive for the size of the unit.If you want something with more features and voice versatility you are going to have to sacrifice studio space and go for the 37 or the matriarch, but I really loved what I could get out of this thing for the size.You can update all the presets to whatever you want with the downloadable software. Just make sure you have a usb cable long enough to reach the unit so you can always take advantage of the computer based work flow.My only real complaint is I really wish they would have added a hold/drone control so you can just dive into notes, but if you add a 10 second release, it’s still pretty close.The multi drive on this thing is just delicious. Use it to push all your oscillators and give them just a blanket wrapped gritty warmth that doesn’t sound distorted. Just blows my mind.Also will note; turn your oscillators and multi drive down and bump up the master volume...they still sound beautiful when not being pushed.If you are looking for more versatility and control on the unit itself you will need to look into something bigger, but for as compact as this is (in synth world) it’s a pretty amazing and beautiful sounding machine.Pair this with the matriarch and you practically have a full band.

All of the Moog-y goodness in a beautiful and compact package. No, it’s not a 37 and it lacks a few features from its bigger brother, but integrated into a studio with other gear and midi/CV automation, it does everything it needs to do and more. Sounds great and it’s the only monosynth I’m keeping for now (as a polysynth person). I also love that it “cheats” on mono with paraphonic 2-voice capabilities. I use that functionality a lot, and I didn’t expect to when I bought it. For what it is, there’s nothing to complain about. Some people might want an arp, a sequencer, or an additional LFO, but I can work those angles from my other gear and make it do what I want!

This is the 5th MOOG I've had in the last 35 years. I was ready to give up on Moog over the Lil' Phatty which broke and was replaced 4x in the 30 days I owned it. However, I came to need something that behaved and sounded like a Moog, so I gave them another try. The quality of material as usual is excellent. It's built like a tank and the sound is absolutely amazing! Kudos to whoever wrote the software editor for this piece because it is easy to use and works perfectly! Only 2 cons to this... 1 - it's expensive.. you can likely get something very similar for alot less, but it won't be this.. 2 - the case for this because Moog decided to shape this "odd" unlike every other synth in the world has to be a Moog Case specifically for this... and.. it's 300.00.... Keep that in mind if you plan to take this on the road.

Moog Subsequent 37:I have been a professional keyboardist for over 20 years and have never owned a Moog product of any kind. It’s always been a dream. Well, here it is. People don’t realize it yet, some do, but this just might be the greatest synth Moog has ever put out. Absolutely transcendent sound coming through the headphones. Perfection.

I am a beginner keyboardist. I've always been a strong "prog-rock" or "art-rock" fan, so that meant I have to have at least 2 of the 3 "necessary" keyboards: a Mellotron, a Moog, and a Hammond. I bought the M4000D Mellotron in October; I can not afford a mini-Moog, or even a Subsequent 37, so I "settled" for the Subsequent 25. (I looked into many other synths...there are quite a few with more features for the price, but they are not Moogs.) So I sprung for the Subsequent 25 and I absolutely recommend it. Physically, it is a gorgeous instrument. You can tell it is solid and well-crafted. It has lots and lots of power and versatility. And the sound? I'm very, very biased, and have been since the first time I heard a Moog (on "Lucky Man" by ELP in 1970). The sound is absolutely FAT. Nothing sounds quite like a Mellotron; nothing sounds quite like a Moog, either.(The Hammond is gonna have to wait...maybe forever.)

It's heavier than I thought it was. It will take me some time to get to know the full affect of what I can and can't do with this instrument. I just down loaded the built in editor onto my computer. Over-all. It will take me sometime to get to know everything this instrument is capable of and you may also need a keyboard a amplifier to further dig into the details of this electronic instrument.

Great synth for the money. Definitely a big step up in quality for the price. Fat sound.

Buen producto

Petite fissure à l arrière, pas top vu le prix !

Lovely Moog Synth very happy

Potenzialità tutte da scoprire poi ti meraviglia. Peccato il manuale in tutte le lingue (polacco. Spagnolo etc.) Ma non in italiano.

Thickest most luscious sound you've ever heard. This thing produces incredibly organic audio full of emotion and life. I had custom new wooden side panels made for it and absolutely love the look. I'll never get rid of it.
