Hi,

I've noticed that the install instructions for the latest firmware for the LP2 is aimed at people upgrading from V2. I don't have an option to turn Firmware Update: ON in System Utilities etc.

Does anyone have a user guide for installing the update for 671 users?

Thanks!

Ed

Thanks so much for your help! I'm downloading now.

Just in case you were interested - much of the mini's buzzy top end comes from distorting the VCA by having the oscs turned all the way up - just how the sub-phatty is able to do - which is why i assumed/believed that the sub-phatty could get much ...

Thanks, sounds great. I think there's just some 'noise' missing, but there's a cool range of sounds there. I like the stuff with the filter envelope attack not quite as fast as possible, high resonance - or the ability to sound quite percussive with the resonance down - instead of just subby ...

Thanks!

I'm looking for opinions on if it's superior for vintage/more 70s 80s tone than the LP2, too!

Amos... i was hoping you'd chime in... although i was looking for a different response!!

Hi,

I don't think i'm picky at all. I just don't get on with the LPII and am asking if the Sub-Phatty is more suited to what i want to do. I'm trying to pick the right instrument for the job.

I'd consider a vintage Moog no problem, but there are obvious advantages to a modern synth if it can sound ...

Hi,

While you say that the 80s isn't tied to any gear... i'd have to disagree. The Minimoog and Prophet 5, as well as Oberheim brass... DX7.... they are the 80s staples! Especially for this type of music: Mini for bass/leads - Prophet 5 for pads/stabs/strings/brass.

When i play my Juno 60, while ...

Hi,

Thanks for replying - but an MS20 is not suited for boogie/funk at all.

Cheers

My hesitation: the potential of the release of a 'Little Phatty Stage III' or Voyager using the tech from the Sub-phatty... sometime soon perhaps. I can't afford a Voyager (perhaps an RME), but i just feel like this tech Moog tech has to be transferred to the Little Phatty/Voyager eventually.

I'm ...

Hi,

I've had my Little Phatty Stage 2 for a couple of years now and haven't really gotten on with it - i've never fallen in love with it and rarely reach for it. It's great for huge, clean, modern analog sounds and i do make certain styles of music where it's cool to use - but i'm currently working ...

Hi, this is how i'm working with Logic 9 and my Little Phatty 2

The recent update has helped a lot.

Firstly go in the menu of the Phatty, and make it so it only transmits keys and mod/pitch wheel midi. This is how i prefer it. If you want it to record your knob changes too, that's up to you - i ...

hey man... don't use touch mode, just press record (as if you were going to play a part, and record the midi in like that...)?

Thank you for this update! It has fixed the midi problems i was having - i eventually gave up and just used my LP Stage 2 raw, just as audio into Logic

Now i can record the midi for just the notes, mod and pitch wheel and nothing else... great!

I keep local control ON, but I use an 'External ...

Hello, still no success here.

I'm still really struggling with this. Everything i have tried has led me to run into several problems, for example - the midi is not actually recorded when i press 'record'. And i have also heard midi stepping with the filter.

I honestly think this is a bit crazy ...

From my research, i've decided that it has to do with filtering midi messages sent in Logic.

If you go to Logic and go to Song Settings -> Midi - you can do basic input filtering.

If you tick 'Filter Control Changes', it no longer messes with the Logic plugins - Logic ignores those changes ...
