Moog slim phatty analogue synthesizers is a powerful piece of sound equipment that can either join your desktop set up of be housed separately in a rack 19 inches long. The ports for audio input and output, and headphones are at the rear panel as well as the controls for pitch, volume, and the filter CV inputs. There is a gate input, ports for a MIDI in, out, and thru and of course the USB connector.
The master section is below the screen and the main synthesizer section is at the right-hand section. There are two oscillators found in the first module, which shares a waveform dial. After selecting waveforms for the two oscillators, you can then set their octaves and fine tune them independently. You can also create portamento effects by tweaking the Glide control. This can reveal liquid bass or searing leads sounds. The controls may look modest in the face of the existing technology in plug-in synthesizers. But keep in mind that this is a Moog, the first designers of the synthesizer.
The Slim Phatty costs less than £400 and has all the features of the more high-end Little Phatty. Its operating system is actually more advanced than its more expensive brother. Some may miss the keyboard as well as the mod wheels and the pitch control. The synthesizer is only 17-inches wide and some may find the controls too crowded in this small size.
The Slim Phatty appears to be the most affordable way to adding the much sought after Moog sound quality to your personal music studio. The genius of Bob Moog is still driving synthesizer technology today and having a Moog synth in a sound technician’s arsenal is truly a treasure. The expertise and pedigree coming out of the Slim Phatty assures a wonderful sound. Consumers now have the choice of buying contemporary synthesizers that come with a retro design. This is one synthesizer that is hard to ignore or pass up for any serious sound technician or music producer.
