Mother-32 Semi-Modular Eurorack Analog Synthesizer with 32-Step Sequencer, VC Oscillator and Ladder Filter, MIDI In, Extended Patchbay, CV Jack

Pure Moog Chaos. Beautiful machine

The Moog Subharmonicon is a prestige bit of kit. Like the Mother-32 and DFAM before it, it’s heavy, clad in wood panels and a strong aluminium housing and with the highest quality dials, buttons and ports. It is very solid and like it’s cousins I expect it will be hard wearing. And it sounds like a dream! It’s got two functions: firstly, a simple synth - two oscillators, each with two linked sub-oscillators; mixer controls; simple envelopes for the filter and the amp, and the classic Moog low-pass ladder filter with that squelchy resonance we all know and love. Secondly, it has two little sequences - only 4 steps in each - but these can be coupled to any of four rhythm generators so that the two four-note sequences are fractured and stuttered, and can resonate or interfere with each other. It’s a bit like a delay effect but more musical and fully analogue! This little box’s true innovation comes in the quantize feature. This constrains the frequencies of the oscillators so they are always on a whole note (or semi-tone). This means when you start the sequencer the intervals you hear are always interesting. You still need to seek out rewarding patterns by tuning the sequencer steps, or tuning the oscillators themselves, but this is part of the fun of using an analogue synth: you need to explore and experiment. There’s a comprehensive patch-bay too, with 32 inputs and outputs, so you can experiment sending the rhythms and frequencies to modulate the filter, the clock, the frequencies themselves and so on. It works very interestingly when paired up with the Mother-32, sounds astonishing through the Moog Grandmother’s spring reverb and I’m looking forward to seeing how it can connect to other semi-modular gear. It’s costly but I know I will get years of inspiration from this. The lack of an on-off switch is a pain: you either need to wrench the plug from the socket or remove the power cable from the back of the unit. I would have replaced some of the ports - perhaps an output for all six oscillators/subs is a bit much, I would have preferred a envelope decay patch or a mult to mix CV signals. The manual is informative but also lovely in itself and 5 little patch cables are included to get you started. Even the cardboard box it came in begs to be kept safe somewhere. It was well packaged by the supplier, arrived much faster than expected and the supplier (Bax music) remembered to include a UK power adapter for me (only US and European styles in the box).

Incredibly bonkers piece of musical kit, maybe not for everyone, however really unique and classy sound.

Really easy to assemble and create your Moog Studio 3, the power junction box is also super useful to save plug space... However, I do have a few things to whinge about. The stand itself isn't that chunky, which is probably a good thing as you don't want it too heavy. But I am struggling to see why it's priced so high. I get that the brand is premium and I love the synths, but I'm convinced you could get a nicer stand for less price on Etsy. The cables that come with it are cheap and aren't shielded... I also suspect that the audio quality from the junction box might be a little suspect and eventually I'll only use it for power. If you try to tuck all the cables under and around the back you just get a tonne of noise... All off to the side it's fine. I'm going to keep it as I've (finally) managed to assemble a studio and I've wanted one for a while, but I can see eventually moving to something else. If I got another synth or two to complement - I'll be going to Etsy instead.

Sturdily built and destined to please. Comes with the overlay cards to get you started ...rotary controls firm and responsive. Bought [Feb 2022] from Music Store Professional [Amazon trusted seller] for the RRP of £499 - good value.

The product itself is flawless, just don't buy it here as it's overpriced by like £650

No sé si el artículo era usado, la caja estaba maltratada, los instructivos, cables y demás no venían en bolsa, solo regados en la caja hasta ahorita al parecer ha funcionado bien pero para algo que no costó 10 pesos deberían de tomarse la molestia en enviar todo en buen estado.

「labyrinth」 ランダムシーケンサーとか、西海岸スタイルとか怪しいキーワードが並びますが、思ったよりずっと素直なマシンです。 とりあえず、適当にいじればそれっぽいリズムを吐き出してくれます。 ランダム挙動も、最小にすれば挙動は安定します。 シーケンサーのレングスも好きに設定できるので、奇数拍子やポリリズムにも対応します。 シーケンサーの吐くCVが自由にいじれないですが、リズム用途で使う分には気にならないです。 音階を出力したいときは、4音のスケールにクオンタイズしておけばそれっぽい雰囲気を作ってくれます。 ただ、この機材が本領を発揮するのは他の機材と相互作用させるときでしょう。 シーケンサーの信号は好きに取り出せるので、そのランダム性で他機材の挙動を怪しくできます。 クロック入力も２つ入れられるので、labyrinth自身の挙動もさらに怪しく出来ます。 後、特筆すべきはサイン波オシレータの出音。 歪みやモジュレーションを外して素の音を聞いてみると、まろやかで思ったより太く感じました。 ベースを鳴らすのにオススメです。 繰り返しになりますが、単体でも成立しているマシンなので、入門にもオススメです。 ブランド品なので値段は可愛くないですが。

Normally, at $600, this synth was personally just a little out of my reach. When it dropped to $439 just recently, I did not hesitate. Finally having this synth has been a dream come true. At one point, I wanted this to be my first synth, but I wasn’t able to get it. I got an incredible deal on a used Korg MS-20, and allowed me to finally scratch that hardware analog synth itch I was craving, and it’s been an incredible first synth, especially since it’s semi-modular and it has a keyboard, so I could actually practice performance with it. But I knew I wanted this one next. I wanted that Moog sound, and I was obsessed with the polyrhythm subharmonics concept, just because of the results I saw it produce in reviews and demos. People didn’t lie that it was an inspiration machine! It’s definitely got a sound, it’s not a sound design masterpiece and it’s not very flexible, but I knew that going in, I wanted it for exactly what it did. It’s awesome, and it can sound massive with the right FX. Legit a dream come true, you gotta get this if you love the demos of it as much as I did. Getting to know and use the Subharmonicon is going to be a lifetime of music making fun!

Les câbles en plus sont les bienvenus, le rack est solide mais l’ensemble est vraiment hors de prix. « Le mixeur » est de très mauvaise qualité.

He comprat diversos instruments: Behringer TD-3-MO, un parell de mòduls Eurorack també de Behringer (sempre en perfectes condicions) i ara aquest Moog Labyrinth i, tot i que funciona correctament, no pot ser que lliurin en aquestes condicions, com es pot observar a les imatges. Puntualitzar que l'embalatge exterior, una caixa d'Amazon, estava en bones condicions (cap responsabilitat del transportista) però en obrir la caixa de l'enviament i veure en les condicions en què es trobava la caixa de l'instrument, literalment aixafada, no em va fer bona sensació. Que dir de la caixa de l'instrument que està prou ben dissenyada, com que per a aquesta destrossa no hagi fet malbé l'instrument. A més que pel tipus de producte que Amazon considera d'alt valor no es pot dipositar a un Amazon locker. Però simplement cal anar amb compte i/o advertir de les condicions del producte. Ara parlant de l'instrument... no hi ha res més a dir Moog! Completament satisfet. 5 estrelles per a linstrument. Un 0 a les condicions del producte emmagatzemat. Salutacions.
