Moog Music Forum

Let me ask it this way--

What analogue synths can I run an electric mechanical piano through to get effects of any kind?

Not sure I understand your question. Are you looking for analog FX solutions or a digital multi-FX pedal? I think you are going to have to demo several to see what sounds best with the Vintage Vibe, which looks really awesome BTW! There are tons of envelope filters available. My experience is limit...

Franklinstower - best of luck with your music and your band. One of the reasons that its hard to reproduce the sound of a Rhodes Bass Piano is that the harmonic intervals of struck metal rods is different than most acoustic instruments and analog synth waveforms. This is especially prominent with t...

Hello everyone. I am soon to be the new owner of a vintage Vibes bass piano but want to run it through Moog for synth effects. I need Wah which I understand can be accomplished by a filter envelope but also want to be able to put some other cool effects into the bass piano. I would appreciate any li...

A Fender Rhodes Piano Bass is a pretty tall order for an analog synth (and vice versa). Two different animals. No matter how good a turkey burger is it still aint beef, and nobody wants a giant greasy 14 pound clump of ground meat on thanksgiving. I'd say that if it's a guitar + synths duo then emb...

Any Sub 37 owners please feel free to chime in on my topic. I wonder if the company could send you a sound file of its pure sound if you email them. That way, you could hear and also be able to mess about with it. Tech 21 make a pedal that is an Ampeg SVT in a box. Wonder if that has a B15 setting?...

No takers on my request for bass? If anyone in the know can help please do cause I need it.

Hi Franklinstower - welcome to the forum! A Rhodes(?) bass piano is an electro-acoustic instrument with a rather distinct timber that may not be the easiest sound to emulate on the Sub 37 synthesizer. If you give us a track with an example of the exact sound that you are looking for, someone here m...

I would say that in that particular video that at least 50% of that bass growl is coming from that Ampeg B15 the bass piano is plugged into. It's probably the most recorded classic bass amp and has a very distinctive sound. Sorry it's not much help, just wanted to point out the amp it was plugged i...

^^^^^^^ This reply is to both of you guys. Yes I am talking about the Rhodes bass piano but in this case it would be a custom made brand new one from a company called Vintage Vibes. Here is a link to the bass piano- it is set in with a bunch of their other custom built instruments but it gives you a...

Hello everyone I am a new owner of a Sub 37 tribute but I have a couple of questions for anyone that has one. I play bass keyboard in a folky jam oriented band. I had been playing on a Korg M50 but wanted a more authentic sound and it was down to a bass piano from Vintage Vibes (very expensive at 35...
