Currently, if I play one note, I get both OSCs, then it splits if I press another note while holding the original. I think it'd be great if there was a setting that would allow you to have each OSC was always split. That way, when you only play one note, it will only play one OSC. I find it a bit annoying in some presets when you release the second note and the single note gets the boost in sound/tone. You should have the option to set Duo Mode as one note, one OSC...Sounds simple, but I don't know if it is.
Hi Toom,
In an analog synth the oscillators are always running. They don't start and stop each time you play a key (unlike sample-based instruments). It's typically the Amplifier section (usually the last section in the audio path, unless there are effects) that turns the synth's sound on and off.
So... the ability to shut that 2nd note off without also shutting off the first note is often impossible for basic analog synths.
But... as you've probably noticed, the Sub 37 goes way beyond most non-modular synths in terms of programming flexibility.
There are actually two ways to shut off an individual sound in the Mixer section of a Sub 37. You have a Volume knob as well as an On button. Both of these controls are Modulation Destinations in both Mod 1 and Mod 2. So... half of the problem is already solved!
What is still required is a Control Source that senses whether there are 'one' or 'more than one' keys pressed. If such a Control Source existed you could then assign it to OSC 2 On so that, any time there was more than a single key being pressed, OSC 2 would then turn on in the Mixer.
I will forward your idea and the potential solution to the Moog geniuses to see if such a control source could be made.
