TE Phatty Noise Thread
I own a TE Phatty and am very dissapointed with the noise problem (digital sounding aliasing). I know I can run round this problem by turning the envelope section off but for me this is not a cure. It seems that a lot of people have this problem but as it's not cured yet I wonder if everyone is happy, having spent a lot of money, with the envelope work around. The synth cost a lot of money and shouldn;t need work arounds to deal with bad design! I've written 2 emails to Moog and have had no replies. Not the Moog I had in my thoughts. Generally pissed off, Nick

So, you don't mind spending a lot of money for something that is faulty?

. . . and furthermore, it seems that a lot of people seem to attribute the noise to the Phatty's "analog" character.
Re: Noise
No because it does what I want it to do and the workaround doesn't interfere with the way I work. My biggest issue with the LP was with the quality of the keybed but I knew about that before I bought it (from reviews I read) and bought one anyway.CheeseDetective wrote:So, you don't mind spending a lot of money for something that is faulty?
If you're that unhappy with yours you can always return it (or sell it) and buy something else.

Thanks Roetsj. That's a very constructive addition to the thread. I'm well aware that the Little Phattyis a top synth and also aware that some people take man machine love a little far but my original point was simply that the TE has a fault and whether that bothers you or not, this is not acceptable for a product in this price class!

I've just spoke to Amos and have been reassured that this problem is being work on. It will be another work around but a more user friendly one and one which should keep the creative process flowing. It's still a problem if you ask me because it means that Moog have a released a product with a design fault. Now we have to learn to live with it!

Actually I'm pretty bummed out about it. My first Moog... I don't know if it's my monitors or my hearing or what but i hear the noise all the time. I really don't wanna play it now... I don't know why someone would be ok with having noise interferance... Its not like a hiss sound... its like a "reeereeeereereee" annoying sound. I want to have the Moog love but its not happening for me... It's just a let down... ugh
