Phatty Tuner Alternate Scales Editor

Chris Rosser takes us on a sonic world tour with the Slim Phatty and Little Phatty. With Moog's Phatty Tuner software, musicians can retune each note of the octave and compose in scales once available only to players of hard-to-find world instruments. Indian, Chinese and Turkish scales are now easily accessible along with Meantone, Pythagorean, Just and other historic and experimental temperaments.

Available for the Slim Phatty and coming soon for the Little Phatty with OS v3.0, this free download makes experimenting with alternate scales a breeze. Tuning data is easily editable and is displayed as a ratio, frequency and in cents. Scala files (www.huygens-fokker.org/scala) can be imported and exported for use with other tuning software. An unlimited number of tunings can be saved on your computer and the synthesizer's hardware can store up to thirty-two different tunings; enough to take you around the world and back again.

If your musical explorations actually take you around the world, the Little Phatty and Slim Phatty's convenient size and universal power supplies make them ideal travel partners.

Moog, you've GOT to design a cool midi-keyboard; with wood.

[experiment0003]

aha.. like arturia instead of using crappy M-audio, right?

[HammondB200]

do some of you own goddamned research

[TheLazerTank]

Use any cv out on one instrument to a cv in the other. Congradulations you know what patching is!

Little Phatty has keys, Slim Phatty does not. (SP is the one that appears fist in the video, the LP is the one that says moog on the back) SP has the advantage of a midi thru though.

Very nice demo. I have 2 old Korg analogue synths from the 1970's which can do alternate tunings (unique at the time I think, for off the shelf instruments.) The PS-3200 polysynth has freely tuneable oscillator groups per note (so that all the C's can be tuned, all the D's, E's and so on) and the Sigma monosynth plays quarter tones from the keyboard as a preset.

Can I use Slim phatty with Voyager XL If yes tell me How?

Please also clear How little phatty II and slim phatty are different?

[VJ FRANZ K]

Really nice demo.

OMG, that's awesome! Do want! O_o  Wait...it's FREE?! I'm getting it right now!

[Paul Durso]

Is this going to be available for the Voyager as well?

[Johan Biilmann]

Great! I can't wait to get it for my Little Phatty SE2.
