"Moog's "Little Phatty"
What Can I say? This is the Moog I've been waiting for for twenty years. The Moog Rogue was my first ever synthesizer, bought new in 1983. I learned the basics of analog subtractive synthesis on it and learned to wring every bit of expression I could from its limited featureset. Sometimes limitations are just what you need to focus your creativity into a tight window. The Moog Voyager is a great synth but it has a lot of "bells and whistles" I don't particularly want or need...especially when it affects the bottom line. I've also got a few Moogerfoogers and a CP-251 so this new Moog is a very good fit for my needs and my existing setup. With the Little Phatty, Moog has pulled my old Rogue through a timewarp into the present and added a modern featureset along the way!
A quick rundown of some specs is in order:
100 Percent Analog Signal Path
100 User-editable Presets
37-note keyboard w/ 2 Octave Transpose
2 Analog Oscillators w/ Continuously Variable Waveforms
24db Resonant Low Pass Filter (Patented Moog Ladder Filter) w/ Overdrive
4-Stage Discrete Analog Envelope Generators
External Audio Input
External CV Inputs
Beautiful, Ergonomic User Interface w/ Lots of Visual Feedback
And this little tidbit:
RACT - Real Analog Control is a proprietary technology enabling the performer to directly interface with the analog circuitry via the knobs on the control panel, without any digital processing. Mmmmm...nice!
I've had a couple of people ask me why I sold my Rogue and a couple of other vintage Moog monosynths and thought my answer might illuminate why I think the Little Phatty is so very desireable:
Regarding the Rogue, I got tired of worrying about the maintenance...it was a 23 year old synth. Every few months or so I would clean the keyboard contacts to keep the nasty spectre of oxidation at bay. You haven't heard anything until you've heard the squawk of an old synth with dirty key contacts!
I was very lucky and removed the foam gaskets from inside mine before they decayed into a black tarlike goo (a problem all the other Rogues I've seen have had) - I had to replace a worn-out VCF slider 10 years ago and noticed that crap starting to decay, so I scraped it out before it fouled the pots and switches. This is a time bomb that also plagues the MG-1 and the Opus-3 I believe.
Having only a single AR for both the VCF and the VCA (with sustain either switched full-on or none at all) was getting a little frustrating as was the ganged OSC footage selector and ganged waveform select for both oscillators! Even so, it still had its charms - The best thing about it was the excellent contoured sync sound and nice little Moog filter! That said, it was becoming more trouble than it was worth so thats why I sold it on eBay ...for about twice what I paid for it - crazy money if you ask me O_O
I had a Prodigy for a while too, but the leaf switches were still going to require some periodic maintenance...also the sync was rather lacking in that it wasn't envelope-controlled. It was in pretty good condition but was going to need a lot of attention and TLC to keep it that way. The case was beginning to lose its integrity due to age as well! Mod routing was maybe a bit too basic...
I also possesed a Micromoog for a couple of months. This thing was a maintenance nightmare due to its age...the key bushings had decayed over the decades and needed replacing. The pitch ribbon had worn through and it was next to impossible to source a new one...and, at the end of the day, it was still a 1-osc synth.
The new Moog appeals to me over the previous synths for a number of important reasons:
Two seperate EGs, both full ADSRs.
Sync sweep is controllable by filter EG.
Variable-waveform "Voyager" oscillators!
OSC2 -> Filter Cutoff mod!
100 Patch memories
MIDI
Longevity & lack of Maintenance Issues
Bob actually designed this one
I think the street price is reasonable...
Please visit Moogmusic's Little Phatty Page for all the nitty gritty on this beastie.
I'll be first in line when this beast appears on sale.
Thanks Bob, it was worth the wait. Wish you were here to christen this baby..."

mě se ten design líbí. Porovnej s tou plastovou hrůzou co dneska vyrábí většina ostatních firem (Roland, Alesis zejména)
Vlastnosti jsou skutečně jenom to obvyklé co už se 30 let dělá na 2 oscilátorech, ale zase jsou to VCO a ne nějaký VA náhražky, tak je potom těžký to za tyhle levný prachy narvat něčím moc složitým. A snaha zjevně byla udělat klasiku. Otázka jak jim to hraje, ale podle mě osc. a LPF budou stejný jako na Voyageru takže to nemůže být vyloženě špatný. Znovu zdůrazňuju stojí to cca 35.000

to ovladani nemusi byt spatne. Taky tady padnul Waldorf Pulse, tak bych jeste pridal svuj tajny tip.....zrovna vcera jsme se o tom bavili s Ondrou....stoji to 439 euro:

Design je skutečně krásnej , souhlasím s a.tom.xem ....
Jinak si myslím , že je super , že Moog udělal něco menšího / levnějšího a nabízí tak náhradu za svoje starý "haraburdí"
Myslím , že názory že místo Little Phatty lze koupit něco jiného , nejsou moc na místě .... bavíme se o Moogu ... takže o originálním soundu .... vzpomeňte kolikrát už jste viděli ve zvukové bance/v popisu schopností svého synthu jméno "MOOG" ....

Peteness: MFB-čka jsou dobrý, teď jsem zkoušel malej MFB Synth-lite II, kterej stojí 230€. Veliký jako krabička na mejdlo, potíky dost blízko u sebe, takže nijak super pohodlný ovládání, ale docela zajímavý možnosti a takovej špinavej a poměrně hutnej zvuk. Solidní basy, sweepy i plochy (vyrábí se i 4hlasá verze bez potíků, ovládatelná přes CC za 330€). V pozadí jsem slyšel trochu šumu, nicméně nijak výraznýho.
Velkej MFB Synth nemá jednu pomerně zásadní věc pro zvukovou variabilitu - ring nebo cross modulaci. Takže nikdy nemůže mít podobný spektrum zvuků jako Pulse.
btw: Moog je nádhernej.
