I don't know - looks more like a pulse generator than an analog synth: https://www.analoguehaven.com/bluelantern/dwarfstarvcn/
Interesting review of the Dwarf Star: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/11414054-post28.html
Moog Sub 37. ARP Odyssey. Korg MS-20 Mini. Moog Slim Phatty. Used every one of them and definitely would go out and buy them in an instant. and I did. Lol!
Subs are the same. Slim has a different voicing. i use them both extensively on all the scores I do!Thanks for that, Ned, interesting read. Sounds like he doesn't favor it too much, but doesn't want to commit to saying so without giving it some time. In the same thread, Fiddlestickz pretty adequately demonstrates the crazy thick sound of the Dwarf Star. The Perfect Circuit demo shows it doing more standard, melodic playing too, rather than just the crazy modular-type stuff.
I'm pretty convinced that the Sub 37 is the way I'm going to go. The sound seems awesome from what I can tell, and adding the software in makes it into a very refined choice of an analog synth. Just giving it a little more time to make sure that's the way I want to go.
Don't the Sub 37 and Slim Phatty have the same voice? Or is it just the Sub 37 and Sub Phatty?
I'm going back to this thread because I bought a Sub37 as a result of it. After 3 or so years of trying at every opportunity, I could never find a place for it in anything that I did.the sub is superior in sound to the voyager. Much closer to a classic moog sound

But this summer I got a Voyager, and HOLY SHIT, it's everything that I was missing from the Sub37. The Sub37 sounds like a toy, and the Voyager sounds like the real thing. After years of Arturia's Minimoog (which has been great to me) and years of the Sub37, when I first played my Voyager, I started to cry. No joke.
In my most recent score, I used the Voyager as a bass, lead, and FX in more cues than not. It's like night and day. Am I mistaken for saying that the Sub37 just doesn't have the same quality as the Voyager? Was I just not able to figure out how to use it? It was just lacking in richness, to my ears. It sounds like an NES game.
Build a Eurorack and stop wasting time and money.
Put these 1 Trick Poneys on ebay while they still fetch a few dollars.
Hehe, this is funny. Eurorack is the epitome of a never ending money pit.
