Moog Subsequent 37 is a 37-key analogue paraphonic synthesizer that combines three voltage-controlled oscillators with a classic ladder filter and ADSR envelope generators. The instrument includes an LCD for parameter feedback, built-in arpeggiator, pitch bend and modulation wheels, and connections for CV pitch input, headphones, line outputs, MIDI In/Out and USB. Its compact desktop dimensions and 10 kg weight make it suitable for both studio and live setups.
Advantages
The synthesizer offers three VCOs for rich analogue sound and a ladder filter for warm tonal shaping. Paraphonic architecture allows for multi-note playing while sharing filter and envelope stages. Onboard features such as LCD display, arpeggiator, pitch bend and modulation wheels provide hands‑on control. A range of connectivity options, including CV pitch input, headphones, TS outputs, MIDI and USB, supports integration with modern and modular setups.

How to use
Connect power using an appropriate AC cable and the DC-in jack if required, then connect audio output to a mixer or amplifier via the TS output and optionally plug headphones into the 1/4" output for monitoring. Use the keyboard and front-panel controls—oscillator, filter and envelope sections—together with the pitch bend and modulation wheels to shape sound. For sequencing or external control, connect MIDI or USB to a computer or hardware controller, or use the CV pitch input for modular integration. Adjust arpeggiator settings and view parameters on the LCD to refine patches.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use a stable AC power source within the specified 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz range. When integrating with modular gear, verify CV voltage compatibility before connecting. To protect the instrument and ensure consistent sound, allow warm-up time for analogue circuitry and store in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures.
