OVERVIEW
The Moog name is almost synonymous with word analog synth. The thick, rich sound made from their synths is legendary (used by everybody from Stevie Wonder to Daft Punk), but was never truly affordable to most musicians. Enter the Little Phatty. This synth's sound engine was actually designed by Bob Moog before his passing and combines true analog sound with an accessible price (finally!), plus mulitple interfacing capabilities (including MIDI) to fully integrate the Moog sound into your productions and live performance.


FEATURES
The Little Phatty is a 37-key, true analog synthesizer keyboard with +/- 2 octave traspose and 100 user-editable presets. But don't let the word "little" in it's name fool you. This thing creates a HUGE and brilliant sound via it's 100% analog signal path and true analog synthesis engine designed by Bob Moog himself. The true analog sound is shaped and tweaked via 2 ultra-stable voltage controlled oscillators and one voltage controlled filter with Real Analog Control (RAC), a proprietary technology that allows you to directly interface with the analog circuitry via the knobs on the control panel without any digital processing (which means NO LATENCY whatsoever). The overload control feature adds even more control over the sound for post and pre filter distortion.

In addition, the Little Phatty also features MIDI in/out jacks for full MIDI interfacing capabilites, 3 external CV inputs, external audio input and a universal power supply which accept any line voltage from 90-250V AC, 50-60Hz so you can perform any where in the world.


OPINION
The Little Phatty finally brings Moog's true analog sound home at a reasonable price. The sound it creates is just magnificent and it's clean and simple panel design and look is impeccable. Add MIDI interfacing capabilities and you've got a synth that can you can perform with and can fully integrate and grow with your studio. Highest Recommendation.
