Classic Sound and Design with the Moog Little Phatty

The Moog little phatty is one more synthesizer from the Moog Music family, which is a notch below the Voyager but is quite a powerful machine on its own. The Little Phatty uses 100 percent analog signal path with over 100 editable presets in a 37-note keyboard. It is a monophonic synthesizer that comes with two oscillators. The waveform selector is variable between the waveforms and the oscillatory sync provides more sound integrity. You will have the classic ladder design that Moog is known for in the filter. Both filter and volume each has an ADSR envelope generator. Things will definitely be moving with its LFO that has six waveshapes with four directions and controls for rate and depth. The keyboard’s Master section holds the controls for Tuning, Glide, Octave Transpose, Pitch and Mod wheels and other data entry controls.

You will have a really simple interface that has no hidden sub-layers of functions. Apart from the Stage model Mood also released a special limited edition Little Phatty for a limited run. The design has Moog side panels with the Bob Moog signature plates on the front and rear. It also comes with a CD-ROM that features the Bob Moog Memorial Celebration Service plus a poster.

The Little Phatty is more on the high end and is not cheap and they are not really filled with features compared to its competitors. But Moog has always been the brand of choice for music professionals and musicians when it comes to synthesizers. The company has been around long enough to command a high price.
