I've got a new CD out entitled Ex Proxima, which uses my Little Phatty extensively. You can get the CD from here:

Hope you like it

I've just recently posted a video on MySpace, which not only features my LP and CP-251, but also my new lab coat :D (as mentioned on another thread a while back)...

Sorry if the vid is a bit primitive, I don't own any proper video gear - it was done on a cheapo ...

I emailed Moog about this in February, and got a very helpful reply from Rosser Douglas. He said that there is a CV mod kit which they send to UK distributors, and that there is a very good service centre in the UK called Source who would perform the upgrade. The email address he gave for them was ...

Nice thread!

I'm still quite new to the wonderful world of Phatty, so most of what I'm doing falls in the "experimenting" category. Last night (once I sorted out what was causing the tuning problems mentioned in another thread - it was a CV in to the filter causing it) I was playing with hooking up ...

I'm having tuning problems with my LP. Can anyone explain in simple terms what the figures on the Autotune page represent - the ones that look like "79:84"? I've read the manual, but I'm afraid I can't suss it out.

I suspect my LP is out of tune due to a control voltage offset from my sequencer ...

I recently splashed out on a stand made by this company in Germany:

and I highly recommend them. Sturdy and steady as a rock, and light too. I don't know where you're based, but if you're in Europe these are definitely worth considering. Not cheap though, I ...

I'm not a Logic user myself (I use Cubase), but I did notice this thread further down the forum:

Not sure how helpful that is though.

Hah! The really was a case of "read the flipping manual", wasn't it! Thanks for all your help folks, if it wasn't for you lot I'd still be scratching my head and simultaneously banging it against the wall!

It now works like a dream, and appears to be a fantastic combination with the LP.

Thanks ...

Great news, thanks! Can't wait to get home to try it out.

Looking at the specs, the LP uses a +5V gate, whereas the factory setting of the MAQ is +8V. Would that make them incompatible?

Apparently there is an internal jumper to set the MAQ to a +5V gate, but I'm reluctant to delve into the inards of the MAQ so soon after purchase!

Unfortunately I'm at ...

ah thanks - that could be it. I'm afraid my understanding of CV is quite limited, so I may well have got it wrong! Why does the gate need to be connected too?

I finally got a sequencer to use with my Little Phatty, it's a Doepfer MAQ 16/3:

It works perfectly via MIDI, but I can't get any response via CV. I've tried putting it through my CP-251 and off-setting the voltage, but I'm not getting a peep. The MAQ voltages are ...

thanks!

I know I said I'd get some up last night, but my Laptop's hard drive fried and now I'm pretty much out a laptop. I could put some badly recorded sounds up but I dont know if it'd be worth it yet :/

But I'll put some up as soon as I can!

(this seemed like a great idea while I was at work ...

I've recently uploaded a bunch of tracks to MySpace which feature my Little Phatty almost exclusively. There are a few bits of Arturia Moog Modular, the occaisional guitar drone and a touch of M-Tron mellotron emulator, but the bulk is my LP and a CP-251. This is particularly the case on the Little ...

In what sense "set it up"?

If you just want to record audio, plug the audio out from the LP into the audio in of your soundcard, arm a Cubase audio track for recording and off you go.

If it is a MIDI connection you're after, plug the MIDI out of the LP into the MIDI in of your soundcard, arm a ...
