Mother-32 to compliment Sub Phatty and Minilogue

[bmurphyhd28]

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to synths, and in the last few months I've picked up a Sub Phatty (at a crazy discount from Sam Ash) and a Korg Minilogue. I love the Sub Phatty to death, and while it's my first Moog, I just feel that musical connection to it. The Minilogue has been more of a challenge to love. I find that the Moog sounds great with many different layers of filtering, but the Minilogue seems to need a lot thrown on top of it to get rid of it's coldness. I got it because it's one of the best deals in a polysynth out there right now, and also maybe I don't know what all is possible with a monosynth. Enter the Mother-32. That video with Erika and Bana Haffar et al was one of the most brilliant marketing videos I've ever seen and definitely piqued my interest. I loved the sounds they were getting in the video, and I feel that musically the Mother could be a great addition to my rig. One of the most used features for me on the Minilogue has been it's 16 step sequencer, so having access to double that on the Mother is very intriguing. I'm completely new to the semi-modular design, and I'm also chomping at the bit to get my hands on that portion as well. I don't know if I'm going to branch out into Eurorack territory just yet, but I may down the road.

The music currently inspiring me are the likes of Tycho (major influence on getting into synths), Wye Oak, and Polica. I guess what that long ramble above is asking is, getting into one Mother-32 module, how well would it compliment the Sub Phatty and the Minilogue? I'm still really on the fence about keeping the Minilogue, but I feel like I might be missing something. Thanks so much for your help!

We think the Minilogue is very cool, looked long and listen hard for months after it's release, but we had just purchased a KARP and went a different route with three Mother-32's along with a MIDI Qaud and BeatStep Pro. As far as the Minilogue, We've decide to sit this one out and see if Korg expands this with a larger, more featured Analogue synth. The SLIM's don't bother us. Some of the sounds that the MiniL produced are unique, similar to KARP, but we would like to see the addition of CV/GATE and Latch just to mention a few.
