<\/a>Moog Subsequent 25 inputs and outputs<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n Audio Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
On the side panel, use an unbalanced, TS \u00bc-inch instrument cable to connect the Audio Out<\/strong> to a speaker, a mixer, or an audio interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
USB connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Connect a USB cable to your Mac or Windows PC to send MIDI data to and from the Subsequent 25 Editor\/Librarian app, discussed below. The Subsequent 25 does not transmit audio over USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MIDI OUT and MIDI IN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can also connect standard 5-pin MIDI cables to other MIDI devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advanced Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Subsequent 25 provides optional advanced features for real-time expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Control voltage expression pedals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
You can connect one or more Moog EP-3 universal polarity expression pedals<\/a> (not included) or other control voltage expression pedals to the Pitch CV<\/strong>, Vol CV<\/strong>, or Filter CV<\/strong> input jacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KB GATE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The KB GATE<\/strong> input accepts a +5-volt signal which triggers the Subsequent 25\u2019s envelopes, as on a modular synthesizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Audio In<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The Audio In<\/strong> jack can accept an external audio input, such as a guitar or another synthesizer, for filtering and processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s Play!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
TIP: Let it warm up. <\/strong>The tuning may not be stable until the unit has been powered on for a couple minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Master Volume on the Subsequent 25 turned all the way down, power on your mixer, speakers, or audio interface. Then power on the Subsequent 25 and gradually turn up the volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Headphones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can connect headphones to the jack on the lower right corner of the front panel. First, turn the Headphones Volume<\/strong> to zero, then plug in the headphones. The Headphones Volume<\/strong> is governed by the setting of the Output Volume<\/strong>. Gradually turn up the Headphones<\/strong> Volume<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presets and programming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Have a look at the reference guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Moog](\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2023\/01\/Moog_Subsequent_25_Front_Panel-1024x307.jpg\")
<\/a>Moog Subsequent 25 front panel<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n The Subsequent 25 has four banks of four presets for a total of 16 sounds. You can start playing right away by selecting a BANK button and then a PATCH button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spend some time playing with each preset. Turn some knobs in the different sections of the synthesizer to get a feel for how each parameter alters the sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preset and Panel modes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Pressing the ACTIVATE PANEL button puts the Subsequent 25 in Panel<\/strong> mode. Pressing it again returns the Subsequent 25 to Preset<\/strong> mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Panel<\/strong> mode, the front-panel settings determine the sound rather than a stored preset<\/strong>. The current position of each knob and the status of each button determine the nature of the sound. Creating sounds in Panel<\/strong> mode is like dialing up sounds in a synth without preset memory, but when you\u2019re finished creating your settings, you can save your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saving a preset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To save a preset, press and hold two buttons simultaneously: the BANK button and the PATCH button corresponding to the location where you want to store your new preset. Hold both buttons for at least one second, then release them. Both buttons will flash and then go solid again to indicate that the preset has been stored. Saving a preset to a particular location will overwrite the previous preset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a new sound<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can start with a blank slate with the Patch Initialization procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Press the ACTIVATE PANEL button.<\/li>
- In the FILTER section, turn the CUTOFF knob all the way up, the EG AMOUNT to the center position, and the remaining knobs all the way down.<\/li>
- In the ENVELOPES section, turn the SUSTAIN knobs all the way up and the remaining knobs all the way down.<\/li>
- Set the OCTAVE knobs for both Oscillators to 16′ and center the OSCILLATOR section\u2019s remaining knobs. The HARD SYNC OSC 2 and PITCH AMT OSC 2 ONLY buttons should be turned off.<\/li>
- In the MODULATION section, turn the LFO RATE to 8 and the remaining knobs all the way down. Turn the MOD wheel all the way down.<\/li>
- Turn all MIXER knobs fully counterclockwise.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Having initialized the front panel, you won\u2019t hear anything when you play the keys. You can now start to build a sound from scratch, starting with the OSC 1 knob in the MIXER section. Follow the instructions in the User\u2019s Manual starting on page 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shift Mode and Hidden Parameters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Subsequent 25 has many parameters and settings that are not assigned to dedicated front panel knobs and buttons. Moog provides two modes to access these features: Shift Mode<\/strong> and Hidden Parameters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shift Mode<\/strong> reassigns certain knobs and buttons to perform secondary functions. These include parameters for Filter Envelope, Velocity to Filter, Amplifier Envelope, Oscillator, and LFO. These are explained in the User\u2019s Manual on page 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hidden Mode<\/strong> functions are set by pressing different combinations of the PRESETS buttons together with specific keys on the keyboard. These parameters include settings for Duo Mode, Pitch Bend, Legato Glide, Note Priority, Filter\/Modulation, and global settings and system commands. Moog provides instructions for these in the User\u2019s Manual on page 27. They also provide a reference sheet you can download: Hidden Parameter Editing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternately, Moog provides an easier method. You can view and edit these Shift Mode <\/strong>and Hidden Parameters<\/strong> on your Mac or PC using the Subsequent 25 Editor\/Librarian app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
