Moog says that “Subsequent 25 is a 2-note paraphonic analog synthesizer that melds the hands-on analog soul of classic Moog instruments with the convenience and workflow of a modern sound-design machine.”

It has a distinctly gritty sounds and character that makes it a unique playing experience. Whether you are stacking up those 3 oscillators in unison mode or splitting oscillators 1 and 2 into Duo mode the feel of the Sub 25 is always going to get you. There’s something about that Multidrive circuit, a combination of OTA distortion and FET drive, that dynamically moves the sound into smooth and dirty places. The mixer section has more headroom to give a wider range of colours and tone.

On the connectivity side there are 4 CV inputs for bringing in modulation and control from other places. There are MIDI DIN ports and USB MIDI for connecting to your DAW. The Subsequent 25 comes with a beautiful looking software editor to manage and share presets and to integrate movement and automation directed at the full MIDI implementation of every parameter.
