One of the main features of Moog’s popular Sub 37 line is its aggressive sound — due to the Multidrive — a distortion circuit we closely emulated. The panel is fantastic for use with Omnisphere. You can use the Feedback knob as an FX send, change Omnisphere’s Filter types, set up LFO modulations quickly, and use the Arpeggiator — all with no menu diving! The downsides are that the keyboard MIDI response is a little bit slower than we’d like and it has no sustain pedal input. Overall though, it’s a fantastic synth, and it’s one of the best Omnisphere controllers in the studio or live. This has one of the most satisfying layouts of any of these synths, so if you want an analog monosynth with a modern vibe, you can’t go wrong with the Moog Sub 37!

  • Inspiring Layout
