is there anyone who actually likes the name?

i don't.

Funny you should ask, because I honestly think it will have an adverse effect on sales. I certainly wouldn't want an instrument called "Little Phatty", no matter who it was made by.

yeah, that's what i was thinking too. it's like you have to decide if you hate the name more than you love moog. because it is so bad. i wonder if any of this will have any effect on the name? it hasn't actually been officially annouced yet has it?

Come on guys.. It's not so bad !

Its whats inside that counts ! And if someone can make good music with it (which I have a feeling might happen

) - then whats in a name any way ?

I can't wait to be the owner of a Little Phatty !!!!

Has the name been offically released yet ? Or are we still going off that deleted over seas forum post ?

If that's the name, it's terrible. I'm usually pretty indifferent with synth names, but that stinks. It's worse than "Fizmo" for a bad name. (Although I love the fizmo synth and will probably love the new moog synth as well)

I thinks its a stupid name, but I also think its kind of lame that it would effect wheather you'd buy one or not. I mean, does it REALLY matter? It will sound the same whatever its named!

Yeah, but then you'd see this name on the back panel for everyone in a crowd to see at a concert. Some people would get black electrical tape and slap it over the name, as someone apparently once did to the "Realistic" on the MG-1 I just got

I like the Moog RAM name idea. Double meaning and all.

Moog RAM is inspired. Little Phatty sounds more like an insult than a name for a synth!

I think in the sea of ethereal and non-descript names (Juno, Jupiter, Ion, Andromeda, Oasys, MS2000, Radias, Source, V-Synth, etc), it is nice to see a distinct and descriptive name. It would be very easy to market with a name like Little Phatty.

I'm sure it's a Moog in-house joke and they'll call it something cool instead........

The Unknown · Post by **The Unknown** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 5:27 pm

Yes, I wondered about that. Here's hoping...

if the little one turns out to be a success, maybe they'll make a big phatty after.

OysterRock · Post by **OysterRock** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 7:30 pm

I think you might need a BIG phatty to fully appreciate the name....
