I discovered some nice suprises in the LP’s manual…including a number of things I didn’t expect…
and more…
how did you get hold of the manual ?
It’s right online…
Looks like the Little Phatty can be a controller! It supports local on/off,
plus the dials can send CC’s on preset ID numbers and so on. The Velocity
sensitivity is sent as well, so I guess it is must be a polyphonic keyboard.
I can soon get rid of my poor old DX7FD (with E!) and have a real analogue synth as my main controller now…
I wonder if you’ll be able to assign the CC’s how you like, in a future
firmware update?
I’ve just put more money down on my deposit, too

Hey,
I couldn’t find master volume as a Controller… (usually CC7).
rachel
i liked the bit about the lfo range being:
0.2 Hz to 500 Hz
yippee!!!
i cant seem to find it on line? could ya post a link???
thanks!!
Thank You!!!
so, we will hear velocity sensitive? and polyphone just goes out midi to other instruments right?
I think we will not hear velocity sensitive.
but it transmits velocity sensitive as well and polyphony, right?
Look in the manual - velocity routed to filter cutoff is one of the global controls.
That is sweet!
what other moogs are velocity sensitive??
the voyager
on another note, do you think the keyboard transmits the pitch/mod wheel information via midi?
Yes, it sends pitch and mod on their appropriate CC’s, and receives them as well. This means that in addition to controlling your other synths (and software) with polyphonic MIDI w/velocity and pitch/mod control, you can also record sequences played on the Phatty with pitch, mod, and knob motion recorded, and play back the sequence through the phatty with all the tweaks included, in realtime.
I am extremely excited about the controller abilities of the Phatty; I think this is another area where it will really shine and make itself useful in the studio. As you noticed the controller numbers are not freely-assignable, but most of the programs I use allow their functions to be auto-mapped to incoming CCs so I can still freely assign what is being controlled.
Also, the Little Phatty CCs are mapped 1:1 to the Voyager CC numbers, so you can control all of the common parameters of a Voyager or RME from the Phatty control panel or vice versa! If you used a Voyager as the master controller, it would give you handy access to all the LP’s parameters with dedicated knobs for each function. I think that some duophonic playing would not be out of the question, either, although I have yet to try this…
possibilities abound!

Thanks Amos!!!
So, when do you think these will actually start shipping? 
ok so if you were using the RMEs knobs to control the LPs parameters would you still be able to select between:
if you could then having an RME and an LP would be insanely cool
you could use each one to control the other, or fuse them together to create the ultimate 5 VCO, 3 VCF, 4 ADSR moog monster!
No aftertouch? Not so useful as a controller…
I’m really excited, can;t wait to get mine! I won’t be using it as a controller anyways, but to have the capability just makes it more the reason to buy one.
the voyager aftertouch is the worst I have ever used and they know it at Moog too. They were suppossed to be working on a fix, but no news yet. Maybe the lackluster nature of the present Moog aftertouch affected their decision.
Most of the Nord boards lack aftertouch too…obviously not a deal-killer…
This is a lead/performance instrument…most people will have it along with their controller 
Ive not played one board where aftertouch has really added anything useful to the synth imo.
I know what its meant to do and it fails on all counts. Its a waste of money and time for moog to implement it in the phatty. The voyager doesnt need it either..i dont reckon they’ll waste any time trying to improve it. Valuable resources are best spent elsewhere, like on an upcoming polysynth…
