Hey Moog people,


The Sub phatty is everything the LP should've been. A terrible shame that you've bypassed live players on this one with that silly 2 oct keyboard. I would buy a 3 octave version in a heartbeat. Best sound you've got on your hands, a beautiful piece all over. This request has presumably been stated before, but here it is again to stress the importance thereof.

Indeed there is a big demand for that and even more for a rack version. As you know you may connect your 5 octaves loved keyboard and it 's done ! Consider the sub phatty as a module which happens to have few keys idea was not to cut down functionalities or sound palette but to save on the keyboard size which is clever in my opinion.

If they create a sub phatty module for 799$ which may connect to the Sub Phatty keyboard to daisy chain and add polyphony , I would buy 4 in a heart beat

I would actually settle for a module. That's probably more realistic, too. Go Moog! <3

YES

Without the need of a panel control for an add-on voice expansion, the price should be lower. Maybe putting 4 voices in one little unit would be perfect. And what a nice poly synth this would be.

Yes and yes. I'd love to see a voice-only module that could easily and relatively cheaply enable SubPhatty polyphony. I'd be fine with a panel-less module, but I fear that wouldn't bring in many new customers and thus won't sell particularly well. Seems like people want a knobby module or a 3+ octave keyboard.

Maybe a semi-knobby polyphonic module would be a good compromise? Then you're in SlimPhatty territory, though. I can imagine these choices are tough to make for a company when deciding how to place a synth next to other products in their line so they don't cannibalize each other.

In my ideal world, Moog would release 1,2 and 4 voice "Sub Poly" modules and then a monster 4 octave 6 voice Sub Poly. This covers the desktop tweakers, Sub early adopters that want polyphony, and players that want a cream-of-the crop analog poly.

We can dream, right?
