bart_van_zon's Electronic Synth Setup

This was my first mono analogue synth. I always liked the Minimoog Model-D but didn't believe buying an old synthesizer would be the best investment. My first analogue synth the Polybrute taught me modern analogue synths could be great yet affordable compared to vintage or re-issued synths. The Subsequent 37 isn't that expensive compared to a Minimoog, but it's still a real Moog and has a full high quality sound. The Polybrute also looks great and the Subsequent 37 as well. They're both designed by Axel Hartmann and look great together.

Some people say the Subsequent 37 has a vintage sound. I suppose that's because of the roll off at the high frequencies. That makes it can sound a bit "muffled" and makes it best suited for sounds that don't need to sound bright like most leads. On the other hand it sounds really dry and direct which makes it sound modern. Many other synths sound a little more woolly, like it's coming from further away. The Subsequent 37 sounds pure unfiltered. The Moog Minitaur which has a similar raw sound, but can get a little unpleasant, while the Subsequent delivers the same sound in a more refined way. It's very powerful and punchy with a lot of energy in the mids, from mid low to mid high. This makes it great for basses, sequences, some leads that sound really in your face and don't need a lot of high frequencies. It can also do some really Interesting effecty type sounds. It's generally an easy to grasp instrument that's very cool to play and create sounds with.
