Redesigning Moog Sub Phatty's front panel

The original beast in it's own beauty - I felt that it would deserve a bolder design, one that is more connected to Moog's design heritage and highlights functions that define the synths' character.
My focus was on the Sub Phatty's main functions that define sound characteristics: the hard sync function between the two oscillators is now visually supported by a hard synced waveform.
Another importand thing about this synth (actually it got it's name after it) is the sub oscillator. Since the sub OSC is the child of OSC1 (1 octave below) I wanted to make a clear connection between them. Generally, every important function (like the ladder filter, every Moog synth's soul) is highlighted with a thick white frame around.
Continuous envelope waveform design and clarified bottom part with a bigger Moog logo and synth title. Know who you are talking to! :)

I love this synth. However I felt that it's front panel design could have a second chance so I disassembled and measured it and prepared a design Read More
