Transposition is one option, but even then you’ve got to factor in that neither sequencer is guaranteed to be in sync with your other device. I guess you either embrace the chaos or make use of the reset input. A clock divider applied to the SubH master clock could be useful here, too, but the 1/4 clock offered by the Mother’s assignable output probably wouldn’t be enough.
Taking over the VCOs by external CV does seem to be flying in the face of the SubH’s hermetic magic, but you still have access to the suboscillators and quantization, both of which are interesting and useful in their own right, and could provide great results given the opportunity to take the limelight. Personally I’ve not even got round to interfacing with other gear yet, beyond MIDI sync - the SubH is right next to my modular and in a two-tier rack with the DFAM, but I’m still exploring unpatched and self-patched possibilities. I’m planning a 0-Coast pair-up at the weekend, though, so we’ll see how that goes.
Thanks! That’s a great combo, if I didn’t already have a Subharmonicon and DFAM I’d definitely be interested in the Studio, especially with the mixer and other extras
It’s a great combo, I think Moog have intelligently designed them to complement each other and there are really so many possibilities in patching between them.
Here in Poland my options are pre-order from Thomann / Skylark for about 1535 Euros, or an immediate buy from Gear4Music at 1689. I wonder if the latter is making the most of the fact that they’ve got “10 in stock”…
Sure, that is a nice bundle.
But do you really need a mixer and the patch-cable-organizer?
The latter surely not (yeah, nice gimmick).
This little mixer is convenient for jamming, but personally I like to have single tracks of each instrument.
Getting the DFAM now and the SH a few weeks later would help to get to know each instrument solely better and spare some money.
Further agony of choice would be: should you add the 2- or 3-tier-rack-stand?
Because there is the mother-32, which adds a multiplier, attenuator and lfo - besides the oscillator, filter, envelope and ext. input - to the patchbay Or maybe adding a eurorack case?
I would be a marketing department’s dream…seduced by the modular starter’s perfect setup, all packaged in a fluffy cloud of benignity…
That said, after several GAS workout routines over the years, my gratification delay mechanism is tempered, it surprises me sometimes in fact. Something to do with having a family to support (even if I can afford it)
Though they say the dopamine gets released in the seeking of the object, not in the final acquisition. So I guess even window shopping can be a neuro-chemical bathing fest too…it used to be the Richer Sounds catalog, now it’s the rabbit warren of internet searching.
The SubH is a good match for machines with CV in, because it puts out two sequences, three clock sources, a combined trigger, and so on. You could also used those impulse tracks on the Rytm to trigger the reset on the SubH, or to throw yet another trigger source into the mix. Or as a variable clock source (could be interesting with % or other trig conditions).
