New to the forum and would like some advice from all of you pro's out there
Its been about 40 years since I played any form of keyboard (yes I am old !)
However I really do fancy getting a Moog Sub37 after reading and seeing some of the demos online out there on the net
Always loved the sound from a Moog and yes I was a real fan of Keith Emerson who;s death as really hit me hard !
Just welcome some views as to whether I would be wasting my time not being a musciain as such?
Thanks
Some advice please from a novice!

Re: Some advice please from a novice!
I am an aspiring musician. I've got a band and we have high hopes and a very unique approach that I think will come to fruition in a few more years of practice. I bought the sub 37 to play bass in that band and spend a couple hours a day on it practicing and experimenting. It is just amazing and wonderful to listen to and experiment on and whether or not my band ever comes to fruition I have found time spent on it well worth it and would never regret buying it.

Yeah I find this very true. To the OP, you at least have a head start in that in can/did play keyboards before. I have never really played keyboard, I've actually "messed" around with drumming as a hobby for about 40 years myself (yeah I am old too). I am not very good, Unfortunatly just don't exactly have that musical gene in me. That's one reason why I have a nice electronic kit so I can just put my headphones on and not bother anyone else. I too have recently jumped into Synths, mostly due to the discovering the SUB 37 and have now aquired several peices of Synth gear. Just do it!EricK wrote:Engaging in something that brings you joy is NEVER a waste of time. You only live once.

Welcome! I was a keyboard players in the '80s and '90s (yes, I am old too!) who left the instrument for decades. The Sub37 brought me back into synths. It absolutely does the classic sounds you know and love from the past.markwa wrote:(yes I am old !)

Yeah that is exactly what I was getting at. I first saw the SUB 37 and SUB Phatty at a local music shop and just started messing with it. I too was thinking "Man this is a Moog and it's pretty affordable".MoogProg wrote:The Sub37 brought me back into synths.

I know the 37 isn't exactly a Voyager or Moog Modular but still I kind consider it the "Gate Drug" to Synths/Moog.
