Dave Bryce Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just made two keyboard purchases - one Hammond organ... http://www.hammondsuzuki.com/images/xk-1c-01.jpg ....and one monophonic Moog synthesizer. http://www.moogmusic.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/730x490scale/product/Sub%20Phatty1small.jpg Why do I feel like I'm in the 70s? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherScott Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Why do I feel like I'm in the 70s? I think what it means is that it won't be long before a lot of us are in our 70s.... Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah Buddy! Very similar to my 2 KB purchases this year. Sub Phatty and SK2 Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Is the Moog going to be a Midi slave.

Dave Bryce Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah Buddy! Very similar to my 2 KB purchases this year. Sub Phatty and SK2 Is the Moog going to be a Midi slave. Here and there for recording, sure....but the thing actually has a really nice feeling semi-weighted keybed, and is a pleasure to play on. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I wish they had made it 29 keys. Having two full octaves from the lowest E makes a big difference for playing bass lines.

Dave Bryce Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Agreed, but I think they were trying to hit a sub $1k MAP price point...and, frankly, I think they made a good call by choosing a nice feeling keybed, even if it did mean a few less keys. It's pretty easy to shift octaves on the fly with the SP, too - dedicated buttons on the front panel for that. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Almost the same situation here. A Hammond XK-3c and a Roland Jupiter. I think the Roland has a misprint on the case. Someone put a 0 after the 8. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real MC Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I wish they had made it 29 keys. Having two full octaves from the lowest E makes a big difference for playing bass lines. There's this really kewl feature - you can use a MIDI controller of longer key length to overcome the two octave keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorSilver Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've managed to keep the Sub Phatty GAS at bay, but the Arturia Microbrute is another matter, because of its low price, sequencer, and patch panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this really kewl feature - you can use a MIDI controller of longer key length to overcome the two octave keyboard. Yeah, but it's so close! To have to bring a whole other keyboard to get 4 extra keys... and then have the messed up ergonomics of no longer having the controls directly adjacent to the keys you're playing them from... It looks like they may have even been able to keep it the same size, the wheel panel looks kinda large... Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

If you're a MiniMoog guy and you don't wanna get GAS, I recommend you avoid it. Oh yeah, I survived my encounter with the Sub Phatty. I had to remind myself repeatedly of the latest home repair job I need to pay for to escape GC without the Sub Phatty taking a ride with me.

wmp Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's 2013, an epic year for me. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Most of the good has been the GAS. New stuff in this picture includes the Baldwin 243, Hammond B3, Clavinet E7, Kurzweil PC3K8, Midas Venice F32. http://B3and88.com/img/2013gas.jpg The Vent is on the floor by the Hammond. The Casio PX-5s is by the door in a gig bag. Four QSCs K8 in the closet. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Check the price of a bag. You won't feel like you're in the '70s anymore. Maybe...but the funny thing is - a Moog synth and a Hammond organ both would have cost more in the 70's... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A Micromoog or a Satellite would have cost something comparable to the Sub Phatty.... Btw I've played the Sub and it's really lovely. *Very* good feeling knobs and keys, and a sound not far from the MiniTaur, only it goes up there. However I must agree with the majority... a two-octave keyboard on a Moog synthesizer is a cosmic silliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't mind the retro keyboard thing, but personally have no interest in rolling back the clock to the days before patch memory. At least the Sub Phatty has MIDI. Michael Montage 8, Logic Pro X, Omnisphere, Diva, Zebra 2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 At least the Sub Phatty has MIDI. ...and Multi-Drive.
