"Expanding" the Phatty

Xenollop · Post by **Xenollop** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 12:36 pm

On top of the other posts flying around that are similar, I thought I'd ask:
Can you significantly warp and garble the Little Phatty (tribute in my case) with CP-251? I've also been considering the FreqBox, Low Pass, or Phaser, but I have the Ring mod and Murf so the latter two might be a better direction. The sounds I love that the LP can make and are the sublte mod chirping (almost glitchy) and experimental noises, that have more application as sound effects or experimental sound design...so I'm trying to expand that aspect of the synth naturally without just running effects over it. I haven't messed much with control voltages, so I'm wondering if thats a big thing that could add to sound sculpting. I'll probably bite the bullet and invest in a desktop Voyager in the future as the LP has been so beneficial.

CP-251 is more or less a warping, garbling box. CP+102+LP should let you glitch out all over the place! MuRF will definitely expand further on the topic, but most of the CP's benefits will come from units that have alot of CV I/Os (MuRF doesn't, really.)

I don't know . . . I think you can do a lot more warping/garbling by manipulating different (non-CV) parameters via MIDI. The CV inputs on the LP are fairly limited.

i was referring to the cv interactions between all three... yes the cv ins are very limited on the LP, but considerably less so on the 102.

I have found the Phaser to be a great companion for the 251 and ring mod. I know, I know, I'll shut up now.

Do any of you have sound samples of these combinations, I've been watching what's available on Youtube, but it's not been too helpfull...most of the time what I find ends up containing another 2 or 3000 dollars worth of equipment....or it's too damn musical.

Have you seen my YouTube videos or heard my sound samples? I have a few of each here on the forum, under various threads.

Definitely the CP-251 is the way to go... especially if you have multiple 'foogers. You're going to have a great time with it.

The addition of the CP-251 to my Little Phatty Stage II has be great fun. All sorts of sonic insanity can be created as well as beefing up nicer tones.

For outboard fun even cheapo guitar stompboxes are great to use with the Phatty because there is so much signal for them to chew on.

Yes. I swear by Danelectro pedals. You can find them used for under $40 most times, and they add so much sonically, it's insane!
