Moog Little Phatty

Moog continues to innovate and fuse uncompromising sound quality and craftsmanship with new technology. The Little Phatty Stage Edition puts the performer in control of a 100% analog signal path with Real Analog Control (RACTM), two ultra stable Voltage Controlled Oscillators and one Voltage Controlled Filter among other versatile features like CV inputs, KB gate and a full MIDI controller.

The Stage Edition has updated software, which includes auto calibration and an auto tune function that ensures the instrument is tuned perfectly whether it's in a cool studio or under hot stage lighting. The Stage also includes an asymmetric pitch wheel, twenty-one assignable MIDI controllers, as well as arbitrary pot mapping. Owners of the Tribute Edition will be able to download the updated software package free from the Moog Music Web site. Registered owners will receive a notification email when the update becomes available for the Tribute Edition.

The Little Phatty is aesthetically pleasing both aurally and visually. A striking design makes it one of the coolest looking synths on the planet. The Stage Edition departs from a traditional wood cabinet and is cradled instead by sleek, charcoal-colored rubberized side panels.

 

The Little Phatty is a monophonic analog synthesizer, with 100 user editable presets.

 

Synth Engine:

Sound Sources are two ultra-stable analog VCOs. Parameters for the VCOs are:

• Osc. 1 Octave: 16, 8, 4, 2
• Osc. 1 Wave: Continuously variable from triangle through saw and square to skinny pulse.
• Osc. 1 Level
• Glide Rate
• Osc. 1 to 2 Sync On/Off
• Osc. 2 Frequency
• Osc. 2 Octave: 16, 8, 4, 2
• Osc. 2 Wave: Continuously variable from triangle through saw and square to skinny pulse.
• Osc. 2 Level
• Fine Tune (for both Oscillators, located at the bottom left of the panel)

Sound Modifiers include a single VCLPF: 24 dB /Oct Moog Ladder filter, with filter Overload control and a single Output VCA. Filter parameters are:

• Cutoff
• Resonance
• Kb. Control Amount (how much the Key CV modulates the Filter)
• Filter Env. Amount (how much +/- the filter envelope modulates the filter)
• Overload
• An Envelope Generator section provides two ADSR EGRs: one to modulate the Filter (Filter EGR) and one to modulate the VCA (Volume EGR). For each EGR, the parameters are:
• Attack
• Decay
• Sustain
• Release

The Modulation section contains a 4-waveform LFO, and a 1x1 Mod Buss with 8 possible mod sources and 4 possible destinations. Its parameters are:

• LFO Rate
• Mod Source: (LFO triangle, LFO square, LFO sawtooth, LFO ramp, Filt. EGR or Sample and Hold, and Osc. 2 or Noise)
• Mod Amount (the amount of modulation w/ the mod wheel all the way forward)
• Mod Destination (Pitch, Osc. 2, Filter, Wave)

The User Interface (UI) section is described in the UI spec, below the LCD and UI controls are the following:

• Performance controls:
• 37-note keyboard
• Spring-loaded pitch wheel
• Mod Wheel
• Glide On/Off
• Octave Down
• Octave Up

To the right of the front panel is the Output section. There is a Master Volume control, an Output On/Off switch, a Headphone Volume control, and a headphone output jack (1/4 TRS)

 

The side of the instrument houses the I/O of the instrument.

• AC In (100-250VAC, 50-60 Hz
• Power On/Off
• Audio Out
• Ext. Audio In (accepts +4dBu line level signal)
• Pitch CV In (1 V/Oct)
• Filter CV In
• Volume CV In
• Keyboard Gate In
• MIDI In
• MIDI Out

Dimensions and Weight:

• 26.75" X 14.75" X 6.75"
• 22lb

Basic Editing of sounds:

Sound editing of continuous parameters (like Filter Cutoff) is done from the front panel by enabling a parameter with its switch (its LED becomes illuminated), and then adjusting its value control. There are 4 value controls, one for each section: Modulation, Oscillators, Filter, and Envelopes. Each is surrounded by a ring of 15 LEDs that show approximately the stored or edited value of the current parameter. The value controls are analog, and when a parameter is activated, the analog control signal is switched to directly control that parameter (RAC or Real Analog Control). For each section, only one continuous parameter can be activated at a time for editing. For parameters that have multiple possibilities (such as Mod Source) pressing that switch advances through the possible Mod sources. For On/Off type switches like Osc. Sync, the LEDs are On when that parameter is on or Off when the parameter is off.
