I have an LP and I have read the manual. I can be a bit thick sometimes so I’m hoping that someone can help me out. How do you write your own patch? Can you just go to panel active and store a patch you come up with? Do you create a name for it? Or do you take and existing patch and have to alter it? I know this is kind of a dumb question but the only other synths that I’ve had with memory were vintage and really crude.
Take a preset, change the parameters to your liking, and hit store. Your changes will be saved. The name can be changed by pressing the cursor button, and using the value knob to change letters. You have A to Z and 0-9, without lowercase letters. Hopefully, lowercase letters will be in the next update. 
That’s what I was asking. So I have to give up a preset? Just double checking. Thanks.
Yes, the LP can only hold 100 presets. One must be sacrificed for each new sound. 
This is not such a bad thing though.
For me at least, there are dozens of presets I’ll never use in every synth I buy. I tend to go through with pad and pen and jot down two groups: one group is “I might have a use for this at some time, but perhaps not”, the other is “bloody useless; delete ASAP”.
Every time I create a new sound I overwrite a “BUDA” patch. When the BUDA patches are gone, the “maybe” patches get reassessed and overwritten as the needs arise.
I like that name (BUDA Patch). Im also currently working on making my Lp BUDA patch free
I feel like these bits of information might be useful in this thread:
Is there software to manage the patches via USB? I seem to remember there’s something for managing something for one of the pieces of Moog hardware I have … maybe that was the MP-201 …
Sorta related: is there a way to get the factory patches back if we want to? Either via reset or something like the software alluded to above?
I use SysEx Librarian, which stores patches on my computer. It doesn’t let me edit them (there is a software editor out there, but reviews are mixed), just manage them.

You can do a system reset. Alternatively, you can just store all of the patches via SysEx librarian so that you can access them when you want them.

Great, thanks!
/stores then deletes all factory presets
That’s what I did. The cool thing is that you can also load the presets from the different versions of the Little Phatty. Moving presets back and forth is pretty easy and quick.
I hope that’s not all that they put in the next update…
Is there a best way to do this? I just dumped all presets in one go, but it looks like that just gives me one file. Is there another something that edit/manages that file or should I have done one at a time?
If you are just using a sysEx utility like MidiOx for PC or SysEx Librarian for Mac, then to manage individual presets you need to export individual presets. Use the “SEND CUR PRESET” option on the Little Phatty SysEx menu, and save the file on your computer using the name of the preset.
Time-consuming at first, but very simple.

Any chance Moog could package the individual presets in a zip file for download? Sort of a ‘pick and choose’ selection.
Bryan
I can do that for the OS 2 presets…
… just because I already had them saved that way. I’m afraid I don’t have the time to export all 100 of the Tribute or Stage 1 sounds myself; perhaps some kind member of the Moog community could do this, or has already done it and can share?
Cheers,
Amos
Thank you!
Amos,
i am asking it now in the forum.
if there’s no other way to do that, i will do the work and post it for all.
probably today
thanks!
Hello, and thank you! It would be very helpful to the LP community if you could do these individual preset sysex files.
Cheers,
Amos
