a real good bargain!
Is anybody informed, if it is possible to use a few SP polyphony with the LP?
In comparison to the LP, are there any differences except the keyboard and size?
WWOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! MOOG GOODNESS FOR UNDER 1K!!!
…yes I’m yelling as I’m typing
I think that the new model might appeal to a lot of people. The addition of a MIDI Thru port is nice and decreased weight is a godsent too.
I’m not getting one personally though. The same problems i have with my keyboard little phatty remain on this model and i’d rather concentrate on my other analogue gear. I’d be more interested if a model was released that improved on the original more.
If i didn’t have an LP keyboard already, i’d definitely buy one though…
Hmm… They took the SP page down again… Luckily I got to listen to all the samples and read the manual and specs before they did. So it’s still not official then. Ha ha. Poor Moog Music - they must find us a pain in the a** sometimes. 
haha yeah.
You know it’s listed at both Sweetwater and Novamusik right now for $795

A couple of things I thought though…why did they change the buttons? curious if they’re plastic or rubber…
Also why they didn’t add the CV outs, like on the upgraded LP models…
Otherwise I’d love to get one coupled with my Tribute

I dare say that is the best damn product video I’ve ever seen. A lot of people have said this is a re-hash - It really isn’t when you put it in context with what the world of analog synthesis has been becoming for the last 8 years or so. It has been ALL about miniaturization, modules, and low cost entry points to drive leverage into what traditionally has been small market with a larger market that was somewhat out of reach. Moog has taken a great product and made it smaller, more affordable, and easier to integrate into small studios, all at no sacrifice to the sound or power of the instrument. Kudos to everyone in involved in bringing this the market, it’s brilliant!
BTW - In regards to the button thing - They shrunk it… the LP wouldn’t fit into a rack if you took the side panels off. By them shrinking the buttons and consolidating spacing a bit they’ve managed to make what I would consider to be a rather chunky instrument into a tidy 3-space (looks to be 3 space anyway) rackable synth.
Ah the button thing makes total sense, plus the new ones look like shiny pretty little sound making jewels
Plus it comes with some sounds built-in that I designed myself… Yes sir, I’m a happy little boy living my dream 
Now all we need to make this weekend perfect are a few pictures of the Slim Phatty with the wooden end cheeks. 
“A new Tuning Scale feature and editor allows easy exploration of alternate scales and tunings. Microtonal, just intonation, quarter-tone, world music scales and more make the Slim Phatty an international traveler.”
Does the little phatty have this now too?
@ DomKane, I’m a sound designer myself, with the Tribute being my most invaluable creative tool…you certainly have a sweet gig with Moog! I didn’t think sound designing could get more “dreamy” but I guess it can!!
This may sound like a silly question.
But is this simply the little phatty module, as in besides the lack of keyboard there is no difference to the little phatty?
Or are there new features? If so, would someone care to share? (:
Haha, yeah definitely one happy nerd here living a childhood dream
Man you guys, this is just giving me a “phatty”.
I don’t use my LP as much because as a bass player I’m already hauling around way too much gear. There’s no room on stage for Me, basses, amps, effects, and the Phatty.
I have wanted this from the beginning, and in a few weeks I’m going to have a Stage 1 upgraded to the Stage II and I think it will be for sale! I would like to see the CV out option offered though…
Run it with my feet, run it with MP201, run it with sequencer - I’m in heaven.
Dealers don’t make as much as you think on Moog stuff. You likely won’t see the price anywhere near 600 unless it’s stolen!
Kudos to Moog, you all said you wanted a phatty rack and now you have it. Some are hypercritical but I just think they keep hitting solid home runs.
Peace,

Would one be able to chain this with a Voyager? Would the arp work with/slave the Voyager? 4 voiced “Phat Voyage” 
Dunno about the polychain business (I hear it is in the manual somewhere though) but the Arp feature works great for controlling other synths.
A lot of people complained about the voyager xl and thought that Moog Music would concentrate on more expensive produts from now on, but now with this I’m happy see that they were wrong.
If I can get the money I’ll have to consider upgrading my LP II to duofonic sweetness with one of these
Same here.
Duophonic is within reach and I can see a very nice 4 voice LP materializing in my studio in the near future. That’s a polymoog at about the price of a Voyager…
