This was great. I've gone down the eurorack rabbit hole, and haven't been using my Sub37 all that much. But it's right there to the right side, and now I think I need to go plug it in and clock sync my arpeggiator. I really wish my Tribute Sub37 had more CV!!!! arg. Great channel.
Thx :D - It took a long time to get there. I also made a video about how I finally managed to make it sound good - It's part 3 of the series - Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/NaS7CfOA3d8/w-d-xo.html god bless
Paul Ruben - Sounddesign forgot to mention I still have my bluesky as it can still be put to good use. H9 max just has every pedal effect eventide made.
@@paulruben-sounddesign3748 the time spent on getting there with the Drumbrute was worth it. It goes with the Sub37 very nicely along with the Prophet-6. My set up is similar except I went for the Korg Prologue instead of the P-6. Your video was very informative. Thank you
Nice im using similar gear db subsequent 37,korg monologue and the 2 minilogues now , oh and a akai rhythm wolf which i like yes i know everyone hates em ,assorted volcas and effects but its always nice to hear what other ppl are doing especially when they are doin it well,
“How to use sub37” *pulls out 10 other synths* No, but you’ve done the sub37 well. Was just hoping for a more in depth description of its features and effects to sound design.
@fooloof He liked and replied to the comment, I don't think he seemed to mind. Not to mention this is the first video that pops up when you search "How to use sub37". I definitely read the title wrong, sure, but no one cared enough to comment except you. I was poking fun at a very entertaining video. Is your life so boring you need to critique youtube comments? Come on man it's just not worth it, tell someone you love them, be happy you got to hear Paul Rubens awesome work, get on with your day.
Great, thanks for sharing! But, I'd love it if you could give some spoken explanations and comments, maybe at the end of the video? Nevertheless, nice video!
Great !!! the only thing is for me the sub37 doesn t have enough fast enveloppe to get that 80s bass sound (you can have on juno60 and better again on pro one)
Great video and great jams! Very similar to my workflow down to the type of music your making and even the same gear lol... can you help me understand better how you tuned the two oscillators for the second sound. You put it in duo mode and tune it to C ... I’m confused.
Yes, I turned on the OSC 1 - played a C on the Keyboard. Then turned on OSC 2, switched off KB CNTRL and turned on DUO MODE After that I tuned it by ear to the exact same pitch (C). When you are in DUO MODE make sure KB CTRL (Keyboard Control) is switched off (the lights left to the duo button should be off) You should then have a "C" which is not controlled by the Keyboard - that means - whatever you play on the keyboard will only change the pitch of OSC 1. OSC 2 stays in the same tune (in this case a C). I'll do another in-depth video about how I use the KB CTRL. I really use that a lot :D Hope that helped.
So I am so green @ analog performance or electronic performance of any kind. I know you explained how you hooked up your instruments. Can u recommend a step by step video that shows me how to play my MoogSub37, monologue, drumbrute, to play together? Embarrassed to ask. Thanks. Nice vid btw
Why not! Usually I am working with the DRUMBRUTE as the MASTER CLOCK - However I just integrated the Elektron Digitakt in my setup (as a Midi Master) From thereon I can show you how I connect everything properly - so that every synth is synchronized = runs with the same BPM. (Digitakt as Master - to a MIDI THRU Splitter - which sends the Midi Signal to all synths as well as the drumbrute)
Great video! Sleep sounds amazing, imo better then the original! Its a bit faster isnt it? Anyway, thanks. Would really love to buy a sub-37, have a deepmind 12 and digitakt now. Do you think they will go well together?
Yeah! I think you can have a lot of fun with these instruments. Especially when you go deeper into the digitakt, you can create really beautiful stuff! I've been working with the digitakt for two months now. Still tryin' to get to a point where it all just flows. Nevertheless, a powerful instrument! The deepmind is also a super tool. A friend of mine got one too. The Model-D is also an amazing synth. Behringer is doing a really good job these days!
@@paulruben-sounddesign3748 i m real happy with goth digitakt and deepmind, but it does take time to really get to know. But that is also the fun of it. But the sub37 must join the party someday! Do you think there s a big difference between sub37 and subsequent?
@@TheRobinVisscher - I'd say the differences are very very subtle. The Subsequent may have a "clrearer" or "brighter" character than the Sub 37. As for me, I'm definitely a fan of the Sub 37. I do like the dark tone of the filter. If you have a music store near you, try them both out - what appeals to you more, will be the right one!
@@paulruben-sounddesign3748 thanks! Dont think the sub 37 is still for sale in stores. I ll probably go for a second hand sub 37. Very excited about it 😍
Hi Paul, good video! Could you help me please to sync my gear? i mean midi connections.. i have a SUB 37 - MINILOGUE - ELEKTRON ANALOG RHYTHM MK2 - AKAI FORCE. thank you so much
Yes, It's called "PAUL RUBEN - UNIVERSUM" - the last song of the "MOSAIK" EP you can find it on Spotify, Soundcloud and Bandcamp etc. open.spotify.com/album/1ivdsNxTAmlQDWof7u6fI0 www.sarah-bart-records.at/paul-ruben/
I think that totally depends where you wanna go. Ask yourself some questions: Ambient or more agressive stuff? Monophonic or poly? Analog or digital? Do I need/want a drummachine or a sampler? E.g. I started with the Voyager and wanted company. So I worked 6 months and bought a Fender Rhodes. That combi was gold! I went on with the Microbrute (analog mono) - how ever it was too agressive for my kind of music. So I switched to the SubPhatty (analog mono) - which had a rich fat sound, how ever - it was not the right synth for my setup neighter. A short time I worked with the Juno 6 (analog poly) - it sounded soo good - but I couldn't really work with it because I needed that MIDI connection to sync everything as well as the possibility to save Presets. Then I decided to use the Roland Boutique JX-03 (digital polyphonic) just to find that it was also not the right thing. So... I sold all these synths and now got this setup, which I use now - Sub 37 + Prophet 6 + Mellotron Micro (plus Keystep) and Drumbrute It's been a long journey till here. So for me it was really hard to figure out which synth fits best in my setup and workflow. I started to make these videos to show you what you can do with these synths - and what I find most usefull. e.g. PROPHET 6: using the sustainpedal while the sequence is playing - these are some tricks that are worth gold! Check out my other vids and maybe you'll find what you're searching for! hope that helps :P
If you could recomend one piece of equipment to someone who uses trad drums, guitar and bass? Just one. I just want to be able to create interesting synth sounds and probably a few layers sometimes and a latch or freeze function? I started out wanting to get a synth 9 pedal and now I'm here. Price isn't a problem. The style of music I make is hard rock / metal
I'd say if the price really isn't a problem - hahaha - get a MOOG VOYAGER. Check out my video about playing Psychedelic Stoner Rock / Doom with the Voyager. th-cam.com/video/3k5I5DXEG6g/w-d-xo.html I guess you'll need a "harsh" sounding synth - take a listen to the Korg Monologue. Actually a friend of mine is playing this synth and drums (ELEPHANT) Take a listen here - th-cam.com/video/cNLO7NM0g7Y/w-d-xo.html Simon (DRUMS) is playing the Monologue plus Re-20 Space Echo. Marcel (GUITAR) is playing the Moog Minitaur (sequenced by an Arturia Keystep)
@@paulruben-sounddesign3748 hey thanks for the reply I ended up just getting the synth 9 Just to create some noises to place here and there but that moog Voyager does look really cool maybe one day I'll graduate to that
Thanks :) That's the last song "UNIVERSUM" of my "PAUL RUBEN - MOSAIK" EP - you can find the link to the EP (Spotify, bandcamp) in the description! god bless.
found this while searching for sub 37 videos, great synth choices and sound here, tempted to sale grandma for sub 37, grandma sounds great but some tuning issues and flimsy buttons.....however i have the matrix brute.....
I have both. I find it's a lot easier to get musically interesting sounds with the Sub 37 but easier to get gritty sounds on the MatrixBrute. Both can do either.
this is amazing if you read this as if youre talking about your human grandma... "temped to sell grandma for a sub 37....grandma sounds great but shes a tad flimsy"
Aloha Paul, I really like your Style and your Music. That would be great if you could help do the music production for my daughter first album. We can start with a couple of songs. How can I contact you regarding this matter?
You're right - it's a TRIANGLE wave. I don't know why the sine wave was in my head. whatever, ... it's a Triangle as you can clearly see in the video. :)
The moog subsequent 37 is a true beast for shure! As well as the quality of this video🔥
Love that sound so much. I immediately heard DeadMau5 tones in your first patch. That was dope cool.
Up late watching and listening to these videos. Great work! I’m on a voyage.
this is amazing.
i feel like im doing sub37 yoga following these patches.
thank you thank you thank you

Considering buying a Subsequent 37. You make a compelling argument for getting it!
It's quite a compelling instrument. :)
I m a big fan!!!I find you today!
Excellent job Paul, and very instructive!
You have quite the ability to create sounds. You should create some presets and sell them. Great work with the S37 thanks for the vid🔥
Dude you niiiice with it
Such great info and learning thank you
You have that drumbrute sounding very nice. I also had bluesky with my prophet 6 but now I bumped up to eventide H9 max.

“How to use sub37”
*pulls out 10 other synths*
No, but you’ve done the sub37 well. Was just hoping for a more in depth description of its features and effects to sound design.
In-depth videos are in the making ;)
There’s plenty of those, though. It’s nice to see it used in a musical context.

How good is 9:00 outro!!

Very Stranger Things feeling to it, well done . I love it

Any thought of selling these sounds you come up with?
One day I will learn how to sync my drumbrute to my sub 37. I am a goof....
Thats what i have and connected them by midi long ago! Its a must...
Is the intro song streaming anywhere? I love the vibe and want to keep listening!
