Sub Phatty Demo With Huston Singletary
Sound and preset designer Huston Singletary describes the sound and architecture of the new sub Phatty as viscously rich and super intuitive. “This is on another level”.
Moog Sub Phatty: New Machine For Living
In honor of the new Moog Sub Phatty analog synthesizer’s release today, experimental multi-genre music producer, Flying Lotus, and Adult Swim veteran, Adam ‘Lilfuchs’ Fuchs collaborated on a short animation called Moog Sub Phatty: New Machine For Living. You can hear the new Sub Phatty analog synthesizer in Flying Lotus’s original score for the animation.

Say hello to the Sub Phatty, the grittiest Moog Synth ever.
Moog Music’s engineers have crafted the Sub Phatty’s oscillators to perform with extreme accuracy and require almost no warm-up time. Just power up, dial in your settings, and put your fingers to work on the keys to summon crisp and detailed waveforms, a vibrant and articulate sound that more than honors the rich sonic density synonymous with Moog creations.
The Sub Phatty is the first analog synth to feature Moog’s transformative new Multidrive section; at low settings Multidrive adds warmth and girth, but when pushed, it delivers a screaming snarl that is highly reactive to resonance, waveshape, and oscillator level. Experiment with this new circuit and unlock an undiscovered world of vivid analog tonalities.
The mixer section offers innovations of its own, including a sub oscillator that outputs a square wave one octave below Oscillator 1. Use this powerful tool as a third oscillator for added depth, or to craft your own customized incarnation of monstrous Moog bass. Also in the mixer section is a noise generator voiced to deliver low-frequency content, rich with body and punch. If your goal is to sculpt analog percussion and sound effects, look no further.
The Sub Phatty features a wide range of parameters just below the surface, and all features are easily accessible from the instrument’s front panel, or via the free standalone/plugin editor. Select filter poles, assign wave mod destinations, or specify pitch bend amounts — it’s all there.
The Sub Phatty brings a fearless new voice to the Moog family of synthesizers. With its streamlined interface and dynamic sound design flexibility, this new synth fuses an unparalleled connection between human & machine, opening the door to unprecedented sonic exploration.

Moog Factory Tour: Testing and Calibration
This installment in our Moog Factory Tour series explores the testing and calibration process done to every Moog instrument before leaving the factory.
Moog Sub Phatty front panel image
That’s how it looks like, the front panel of the new Moog, the Sub Phatty. Looking at the image, we can see the new tilted panel is a sort of mixture between the Voyager and Little Phatty, with a one function-per-knob interface. The obvious guess here is that this Moog dumps the Little Phatty’s digital side, keeping only MIDI. Without the digital brain, Moog should hopefully be able to reduce the price, hopefully bringing this down. The new features mentioned before in the promo video are present– noise, multidrive, and sub oscillator.
NAMM 2013: The new Moog Sub Phatty Synthesizer – new image revealed
Moog Music shared a few teaser images today of their new synthesizer, to be released at the 2013 NAMM Show, that just might be called the Sub Phatty.
Features of the Sub Phatty are expected to include:
- Two stable oscillators
- A suboscillator
- Noise generator
- Twin ADSRs envelope generators
- Multidrive circuit
- Traditional Moog VCF
- 25-note keyboard
- Pitch bend & mod wheels
Note: Official specs, pricing and availability are expected to be announced at the NAMM Show.
NAMM 2013: NEXT FROM MOOG…
Professor Herb Deutsch, synth pioneer and collaborator of Bob Moog, visited the Moog Machine Shop during Moogfest 2012. While here, Professor Deutsch explored Moog’s next generation analog synthesizer, while still in it’s research & design phase. In the past, Bob Moog always tested his ideas, instruments and sounds with musicians and colleagues. This spirit of collaboration continues at the Moog factory to this day and is essential to our work. It is a key part of the product development process, as it furthers our ideas and helps us shape better tools for musicians.
Making its official debut at NAMM 2013, the first 24 of these new instruments are being handcrafted at the Moog Factory this week. Until you get a chance to see it in its final form at NAMM 2013, please enjoy this video. Love, your friends at Moog.
NAMM 2013 – Rumors of a MonoMoog coming
As we are well accustomed to rumors are starting to spread on what will be released at the NAMM show, only three weeks away now. Expectations are high for a new synth from Moog Music – perhaps something like this MonoMoog, which likely comes from the special category of Photoshop synths.
