i found the presets (factory presets) are dreadful and off-putting. Thank heavens I got past those. The Little Phatty is probably closer in spirit and playability to the Minimoog, than the Voyager is. Voyager = Moog IIIC. Phatty = Minimoog. IMHFO
I have a Little Phatty and love the sounds you are doing! I assume you made most of them and are not using the presets? Would you be able to share the patches?
@Jikodis Thanks - these are tweaked presets - sorry, but I didn't write down or store what I did in this demo. Also, keep in mind that I am using a delay/reverb unit as well...
@keybdwizrd That makes sense. Sometimes I like to start from the presets and go from there. I really want some sort of analog effects unit. It really accentuates things well. Would like to have a Roland RE-501 someday.
its nice, but could have been a lot more phat with a vco instead of dco... I wonder why moog or smith don't make a new vco synth... you would think there are still some inovative things to do with vco... for the moment i just keep with vintage synths, waiting for the moment when a new interesting vco synth enters the market...
Hi, I've been watching your demo videos of the moog LP and the DSI mopho. I was looking at getting a slim phatty but the price of the mopho makes it a tempting option. How would you say they compare?
@GearTutorials Both are true analog synthesizers but sound very different. For people who absolutely have to have "the Moog sound," then the Little Phatty is a must. The Mopho is an affordable analog option - perhaps buy one of those to start with and see how it goes. The Moogs are somewhat pricey for what they do.
@keybdwizrd cheers for replying! From what I've heard of each the moogs filters do sound a lot better but the price difference is what's making it a tough decision. If they were the same price I'd go for the moog hands down. Do like the compactness of the mopho though.
@keybdwizrd yeah i remember years ago when i kept trying to save for that one because it was limited but i didnt know it was only 1500$ thats a nice collectors piece, lol im trying to get a used LP stage 2 right now embarrassingly enough and its the gross looking orange one : P
@fooloof I never have been a big Moog fan, and never had a desire to have a MInimoog. These days, I don't really have use for any synth that doesn't have MIDI and patch memory. I bought the Moog LP (and still have it as of this writing) with the thought that someday I might upgrade to a Minimoog Voyager. I guess I have never thought it was worth the money to do so. Just my two cents.
It is overpriced and is not, it is a big money maker source for Moog company becasue everyone want a Voyager but just 1 of 20 (or more) can affort it, Moog have top of the line intruments but are expensive, people go more for Vsynths becasue they are more reliable in a home use or vst's, I play since 1984 and I saw just a few guys with 3 or more $3000 synthesizers on home. Moog is a legend in the music history and everyone want that name in a home studio piece of gear and 1k synth do the job
mm... i am kind of concerned about how tihs unit might be overpriced just for being moog... although it seems as an amazing analog synth capable of very vintage sounds (classical moog, even some arp sounding there) but as well some very contemporary stuff (nice electro bass, crazy cool IDM leads...)... mmm... mopho kb... little phatty... complicated
@keybdwizrd yeah... i like that classicalmoog sound (who doesnt?) but is kind of expensive, although you get a versatile analog monosynth (at least you get nearly all the versatility available on a monosynth) and it even has that moog sound... i think i am going to get the slim phatty and a sherman filterbank, nearly the same price as just one little phatty...
@mynmyself Get a slim phatty instead of this if you don't dig the price. Chances are you already have a synth to use as a master keyboard, or some midi controller. You get the same nice interface as the little phatty on the slim version.
@mynmyself The Little Phatty is on $1265. Do you know they are still selling the Voyager for like 4 or 5 stacks? I'd say it's a deal really. Plus, you have to think what goes into the pricing. You're talking about a company that makes a very specific product, a analog synth, that cost a lot of money to create but not a lot of people buy. For the most part, only serious musicians are gonna buy Moog where, for instance, anyone can fork over 200-300 for FL Studio.
@keybdwizrd You're absolutely right. It is certainly overpriced.., but people pay it simply because it's Moog. At the price these go for though.., they should at least have some basic effects built in. I will say that this synth makes the MoPho keyboard look like one hell of a bargain ;-)
@mynmyself The pricing is not a product of it being a "Moog" in the legacy since, but the fact that it simply costs more for a small company to make a true analog synthesizer with discrete circuits instead of chips, or simply a digital synth. If you've ever listened to one in person or played one live you will see why it is worth it. Its just so warm and organic in nature.
im wondering if moog sells wood panel ends to replace the plastic crap ones - here he is playing the tribute edition which is the only one with the cool wood end panels- most lps are plastic
@Desmaad yeah you know quality like metal and wood(sarcasm) and the 70s - the era of the hands down best analogs- Looks way better and is one of the reasons why it will be far more collectable in the future- regular LPs re already used on ebay for 750- you know the ones with the crap plastic 80s look!
@Desmaad no doubt- but if i pay money i expect the synth to be built with quality material- sorry but the 70s synths were not only better internally with far fatter better sounding analog chips but they were made like tanks- hence why a 70s moog will cost the price of 7 little phatties! Ive owned all the big boys still have some and modern synths pale in comparison- my moog prodigy from the 80s is far warmer and fatter than the little phatty by far- not as versatile ofocourse
is it not possible to have this same great sound with a polysynth? I'm new to synthesizers and was wondering why they still make synths that are monophonic. anyway the Little Phatty is awesome and this is a great demonstration
@dice283 A polyphonic version of this synth could be made, but the retail cost could be way above $5,000. Moog is a somewhat boutique company and their costs seem to be really high (I don't know the reason). Dave Smith Instruments makes the Prophet 08, which is a polyphonic analog synthesizer. It sells new for about $2,000. I have plenty of demos of that one too.
@dice283 eventually Moog will put out a polyphonic synth. Dave Smith was able to put out the Prophet 08 at a reasonable price point, so it can be done.
I dunno, I was thinking of getting this as a bass synth, but there's something about the sound that isn't doing it for me. I really dont think I've heard any bass patch on the Little Phatty that I like. Minimoog yes, moog source, yes . . . phatty . .. just no.
You guys are disappointed with it because you aren't taking full advantage. If you don't have all the CV mods installed - get those and get you some CV controllers, like the Moogerfoogers, Multi-Pedal or whatever - that is what is what turns the Phatty into an amazing synth. I bought mine from Sweetwater because it already has the CV mods installed! :P
Most people looking for that "real" Moog sound will only find it from a real Moog synthesizer. The majority of people who listen to music probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between hardware and software.
@Desmaad Do you know how many polysynths moog has made? 2. TWO. (technically the MG-1 has a polyphonic organ section if you count that and the Sonic 6 is duophonic but that doesnt count) the memorymoog, and the polymoog.
@Desmaad Do you know how many polysynths moog has made? 2. TWO. (technically the MG-1 has a polyphonic organ section if you count that and the Sonic 6 is duophonic but that doesnt count) the memorymoog, and the polymoog. they can't have more than that
@Cds56 You forgot the Opus-3. Anyway, what's stopping them from ringing up NatSemi or some other chip foundry and asking them to make IC versions of their circuitry? Besides money, of course.
@keybdwizrd Hey... I was wondering if it is possible to record with af little phatty in a sequencer program? It is analog, but isn't i digital controlled? ... I am really close at buying it but i'm not sure if i can use it in a digital studio. Im not that good in knowing alot about synthesizer yet, so you probably think that it's a lame question, but i would appreciate if you would answer :)
I drove an hour and a half yesterday to a store all amped up to buy one of these, and after trying it for an hour I decided against buying it. I have a novation bass station rack which i've had for about 10 years, I didn't find the LP to sound much different. I started by programming my own sounds then trying all the patches as well. The keyboard/hands on control is great. For someone who wants this sound, get the LP, but if you are on a budget or not sure, grab a Bass Station rack off ebay.
The Moog LP is not a very good value for the money. For analog purists who just gotta have that Moog bass, fine, otherwise save yer nickels. I enjoy using it to play screaming synth leads with a live band, but it doesn't get much use in my studio. I doubt many people could hear the difference between a "real" Moog and a virtual analog softsynth anyway.
Just a side note to clarify to everyone, the Stage 1 is the exact same as the Stage II, without the USB! So, you can still get arpeggiator and all other features of the Stage II on the Stage I if you download the update from the moog website.
Im waiting for a video that actually shows if this thing is phat. I mean, come on. I own a KORG R3, and it can make all of these sounds, and sound PHATTER than this... Off to Sam Ash. I must be going crazy, right?
yeah dude, the only reason it dont sound phat is cus its a youtube video, once you actually play on a moog you know that the thing is way more powerful than an R3 or any korg really, the korgs us a computer chip to emulate moog. moogs directly turn electricity into sound
yeah, went to sam ash. it's phat. as hell. but, it's just not my style. I was playing through it's presets and messing with the knobs.... i think this is more directed at the funk/rnb type music. not my style, i guess...
dude, its not directed towards any style, its what you make of it. its a synthesizer, as in you synthesize your own sound. presets are for dummies. what style music do you plan on making?
My type of style is dance/techo/80's new wave/80's hairmetal... That's what I thought, too when I left Sam Ash. I thought "how could I use this...?" It's like saying anyone who owns a Moog MiniMoog is a funk artist. This isn't true because Gary Numan owns (owned?) one, and he started the 80's new wave stuff, and is now into metal stuff (I think...?) but the point is, you're right. :)
got to disagree - I owned an r3 and got rid of it - nothing sounded good - very plastic - ok, phat plastic maybe... Once you've heard an analogue you'll know what I mean- theres a resonance and a vibration that you feel in your body that the r3 just doesn't have - good for ear shredding maybe. Analogs create real breatning waveforms - digital is like a 'dead' sound.
You're probably right, once I've played another analog synth, perhaps the phatty again, I will probably know what the hype is all about. It just hasn't hit me yet. hasn't knocked me out. I need a Juno 106 or an Oberheim, or SOMETHING that will just knock me out. I'm not trying to offend anyone, here. The person in this video is playing this instrument VERY well, it's just that, well, for me, it just didn't make me want to drop $1,300 on a MOOG Little Phatty. It beats the R3's bass sounds though
If you get any Juno, get a 60. I have a 60 and have played 106es, the sound on a 106 isn't as thick and rich as a 60. Plus, there are lots of problems with the ICs on the 106.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Your as ignorant as it can be first by mentioning an oberheim and a 106 together , 106 has just 1 DCO without any mod matrix beside 1 lfo for filter and dco so if the Moog doesn't knock you out ,the 106 will barely tickle .106 is as simple as it can be and one of the worst synths ever released . ...
I agree - I owned Radias which is the same shitty sound engine as R3 - Little Phatty just kills it brutally, if you want warm, phat, organic analog sound!
The sound from 1:00 - 1:30 sounds kinda like the intro moog solo from Shine On You Crazy Diamond.. I'd love to hear more of this, and I'm considering buying one of these to get that sound myself, as I cannot find it anywhere else!
The Little Phatty has no reverb or delay - no effects at all. Ditto for the Moog Voyager and DSI Prophet 08. It's very common for analog synths to have no effects on board.
I'm thinking of buying this project. But as NimaSun i'm also a bit confused over the fact that it doesn't have a reverb or delay function. But i have a Korg MicroX for example. Could i plug it into the Phatty to make the reverb (and others) effect?
Depends on whether it's got that capability. Does the micro X have an audio input? If so then most likely you can use it's effects. Otherwise, you can always buy an external Reverb/delay unit. If this product had delay or reverb, it would most likely be a digital effect, therefore making this, and the mopho, or p08 no longer all-analog
i tryed to duplicate the patch on the stage edition number 74, on to my tribute edition by duplicating every value on the screen and the patch sounded different. I tryed this many times even taking a note pad to the guitar store in order to get it right. can a patch be duplicted or are all synths different?
They say that all analog synths sound slightly different, even if they are the same model - because every components counts. And Stage has different components, I guess.
the stage patch was awesome by far it, after i tweeked for a bit i got the sound i wanted which was like wind blowing in a big hollow area like an empty alley or a subway it was flat out awsome and now i can somewhat create it on the tribute but i know its no were close
that's the power of moog, you are just really cool if you got one on stage (even if you're tambourine player) Cobham used to have 2 moogs behind him, but he didn't use them through the whole concert.
the little phatty sounds soo nice. i want to buy some moog kit really bad, i've been wanting to buy the prodigy ever since i was like 12 because Liam Howlett used it early on. the prodigy is a little out of my price bracket, have you played the rogue? is it comparable to the lp?
I actually have a video that compares (somewhat) the LP to a Rogue. For me, the LP is the obvious choice since it has patch memory and MIDI, and sounds great. The Rogue is more limited in terms of sound capability and features, but many people prefer those vintage oscillators.
I went to guitar center yesterday totally planning to buy another microkorg to replace my old one. I came home with a Little Phatty instead. I asked which synth had the deepest darkest textures and was analog and was within my price bracket, this was it. This amazing tool is not just the best sounding instrument I have ever bought it is also a piece of history. On the presets alone it has many sounds popularized in Industrial and Gabber music. This is the real deal.
The LP has that pure analog tone, if that's what you want, but the Virus can produce a much wider variety of waveforms, can play many notes at the same time, and can play up to 16 different sounds simultaneously. So they are just different instruments for different purposes.
Just bought a LP. I can say that it is worth the price. I've never encountered anything in my 19 years of playing that can compete with a Moog.

ARPEGIATTOR?

I believe there's a firmware upgrade that adds an arpeggiator, and the new models have it.

@keybdwizrd Hey... I was wondering if it is possible to record with af little phatty in a sequencer program? It is analog, but isn't i digital controlled? ... I am really close at buying it but i'm not sure if i can use it in a digital studio. Im not that good in knowing alot about synthesizer yet, so you probably think that it's a lame question, but i would appreciate if you would answer :)
xAsgerCobainx 2 years ago
The Little Phatty has MIDI, so yes, it can be used with a sequencing program.

@keybdwizrd Cool. I've just hear something about that i couldn't but obviously i can. :) Thanks,

I drove an hour and a half yesterday to a store all amped up to buy one of these, and after trying it for an hour I decided against buying it. I have a novation bass station rack which i've had for about 10 years, I didn't find the LP to sound much different. I started by programming my own sounds then trying all the patches as well. The keyboard/hands on control is great. For someone who wants this sound, get the LP, but if you are on a budget or not sure, grab a Bass Station rack off ebay.
skatechatham 2 years ago
The Moog LP is not a very good value for the money. For analog purists who just gotta have that Moog bass, fine, otherwise save yer nickels. I enjoy using it to play screaming synth leads with a live band, but it doesn't get much use in my studio. I doubt many people could hear the difference between a "real" Moog and a virtual analog softsynth anyway.
keybdwizrd 2 years ago
keybdwizrd I was thinking the same. Yes the low end on Moog is amazing but as for the other sounds I've heard them all in software.

I realize the Phatty at around $1,200.00 ~ $1,400.00 u.s. is a decent price for a MOOG synth, but no sequencer ?

To QuadroWho and others!
Just a side note to clarify to everyone, the Stage 1 is the exact same as the Stage II, without the USB! So, you can still get arpeggiator and all other features of the Stage II on the Stage I if you download the update from the moog website.

Im waiting for a video that actually shows if this thing is phat. I mean, come on. I own a KORG R3, and it can make all of these sounds, and sound PHATTER than this... Off to Sam Ash. I must be going crazy, right?
VacTrooper 2 years ago
yeah dude, the only reason it dont sound phat is cus its a youtube video, once you actually play on a moog you know that the thing is way more powerful than an R3 or any korg really, the korgs us a computer chip to emulate moog. moogs directly turn electricity into sound
udpufghspdgoh 2 years ago
yeah, went to sam ash. it's phat. as hell. but, it's just not my style. I was playing through it's presets and messing with the knobs.... i think this is more directed at the funk/rnb type music. not my style, i guess...
VacTrooper 2 years ago
dude, its not directed towards any style, its what you make of it. its a synthesizer, as in you synthesize your own sound. presets are for dummies. what style music do you plan on making?
udpufghspdgoh 2 years ago
My type of style is dance/techo/80's new wave/80's hairmetal... That's what I thought, too when I left Sam Ash. I thought "how could I use this...?" It's like saying anyone who owns a Moog MiniMoog is a funk artist. This isn't true because Gary Numan owns (owned?) one, and he started the 80's new wave stuff, and is now into metal stuff (I think...?) but the point is, you're right. :)
VacTrooper 2 years ago
WHAT?
MARANTZamp 2 years ago
got to disagree - I owned an r3 and got rid of it - nothing sounded good - very plastic - ok, phat plastic maybe... Once you've heard an analogue you'll know what I mean- theres a resonance and a vibration that you feel in your body that the r3 just doesn't have - good for ear shredding maybe. Analogs create real breatning waveforms - digital is like a 'dead' sound.
craniumpie 2 years ago
You're probably right, once I've played another analog synth, perhaps the phatty again, I will probably know what the hype is all about. It just hasn't hit me yet. hasn't knocked me out. I need a Juno 106 or an Oberheim, or SOMETHING that will just knock me out. I'm not trying to offend anyone, here. The person in this video is playing this instrument VERY well, it's just that, well, for me, it just didn't make me want to drop $1,300 on a MOOG Little Phatty. It beats the R3's bass sounds though
VacTrooper 2 years ago
If you get any Juno, get a 60. I have a 60 and have played 106es, the sound on a 106 isn't as thick and rich as a 60. Plus, there are lots of problems with the ICs on the 106.
djhijinx 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Your as ignorant as it can be first by mentioning an oberheim and a 106 together , 106 has just 1 DCO without any mod matrix beside 1 lfo for filter and dco so if the Moog doesn't knock you out ,the 106 will barely tickle .106 is as simple as it can be and one of the worst synths ever released . ...

hold the phone.. are you saying the little phatty hasn't got reverb or delay?
NimaSun 2 years ago
The Little Phatty has no reverb or delay - no effects at all. Ditto for the Moog Voyager and DSI Prophet 08. It's very common for analog synths to have no effects on board.
keybdwizrd 2 years ago
I'm thinking of buying this project. But as NimaSun i'm also a bit confused over the fact that it doesn't have a reverb or delay function. But i have a Korg MicroX for example. Could i plug it into the Phatty to make the reverb (and others) effect?
Gamle11111 2 years ago
Depends on whether it's got that capability. Does the micro X have an audio input? If so then most likely you can use it's effects. Otherwise, you can always buy an external Reverb/delay unit. If this product had delay or reverb, it would most likely be a digital effect, therefore making this, and the mopho, or p08 no longer all-analog

i tryed to duplicate the patch on the stage edition number 74, on to my tribute edition by duplicating every value on the screen and the patch sounded different. I tryed this many times even taking a note pad to the guitar store in order to get it right. can a patch be duplicted or are all synths different?
ghostshark188 2 years ago
They say that all analog synths sound slightly different, even if they are the same model - because every components counts. And Stage has different components, I guess.
Which one sounded better, btw?
PimpMyFahrrad 2 years ago
the stage patch was awesome by far it, after i tweeked for a bit i got the sound i wanted which was like wind blowing in a big hollow area like an empty alley or a subway it was flat out awsome and now i can somewhat create it on the tribute but i know its no were close

Mce6v 3 years ago
I actually have a video that compares (somewhat) the LP to a Rogue. For me, the LP is the obvious choice since it has patch memory and MIDI, and sounds great. The Rogue is more limited in terms of sound capability and features, but many people prefer those vintage oscillators.

I went to guitar center yesterday totally planning to buy another microkorg to replace my old one. I came home with a Little Phatty instead. I asked which synth had the deepest darkest textures and was analog and was within my price bracket, this was it. This amazing tool is not just the best sounding instrument I have ever bought it is also a piece of history. On the presets alone it has many sounds popularized in Industrial and Gabber music. This is the real deal.

parosite 3 years ago
The LP has that pure analog tone, if that's what you want, but the Virus can produce a much wider variety of waveforms, can play many notes at the same time, and can play up to 16 different sounds simultaneously. So they are just different instruments for different purposes.
