Hi guys,
I enjoy using my Little Phatty (older, Midi but no USB version) in my compositions, mixing guitars/bass/Rhodes/organ/etc (i.e. I am not into experimental, synth-only/focused music). I get a good variety of sounds..
Any advice/perspective as I am considering the Minimoog D coming out? Does the Minimoog D cover all the basis of the LP, plus some? Or are those synths widely different?
Thanks for your insight!
Louis
Little Phatty vs Minimoog D reissue
Re: Little Phatty vs Minimoog D reissue
I had a Little Phatty for several years. I thought the Phatty was definitely able to get the 'Moog sound'. There are a few things that I recall the Phatty being able to do that the Model D cannot:
- * Save and recall patches
* Arpeggiator
* Variable waveforms and waveform modulation
* Oscillator sync
* Variable filter cutoff slope
- * All settings are immediately visible and accessible on the front panel. This is a considerable advantage when performing.
* 3rd Oscillator for extra tonalities. It's very easy to set up different tuned intervals on the 3 Oscs and then easily switch them in and out as needed.
* The new dedicated LFO allows setting up dual modulation with the 3rd Oscillator
* More CV ins/outs available on the back panel
* It not only gets the 'Moog sound', it essentially defined the Moog sound (along with the original Moog modulars).
