The Moog Little Phatty Stage II proves that the digital revolution hasn't made a dent in the reputation of the world's most celebrated analog synth maker. This powerful monophonic workhorse combines a 100% analog signal path with up-to-date MIDI over USB, Clock Sync, and a sweet arpeggiator. With Moog Music's Little Phatty Stage II, you'll send sweet, soaring leads above the digital din with a powerful and punchy voice that won't be easily missed. Unprecedented Stability Your Moog Little Phatty comes with two of the most stable VCOs (voltage-controlled oscillators) ever manufactured, eliminating the pitch and tone drift common on the vintage boards that you may have gathering dust in the studio. In turn, the Voltage Controlled Filter turns your waveforms into full-bodied sounds. In no time, you'll be dialing up sweet singing leads, crunchy bass pads, and anything else your fingers can dream up. Precision Control Each VCO comes with an octave setting (16', 8', 4', 2') and can output triangle, saw, square, or skinny pulse waves. The Glide Rate is fully adjustable, and VCO 1 can be synced to VCO 2. A single VCF tailors the combined output from the two VCOs. After that, the Envelope Generator stage crafts the shape of your sound with a standard ADSR bank. Modulation controls the LFO rate and Amount. After you set these parameters, get your volume level where you want it and your unique sound is ready to fly! Modern Innovations The genius of Moog's Little Phatty Stage II lies in its careful combination of technologies old and new. The MIDI over USB port allows you to hook up with another keyboard for external control, or to connect with a computer so your DAW or sequencer software can control the Little Phatty in real time. But no matter what you're running into the Little Phatty, you'll be sending out a totally analog signal to your amp or speakers. Pure analog sound with no signal loss to varying sample rates? An astounding idea! Everything You Need to Deliver a Powerful Sound On the right of your front panel you'll find the Output section. Here you've got a Master Volume control, an Output On/Off switch, a Headphone Volume control, and a headphone output with a 1/4" balanced TRS jack. The Little Phatty Stage II has everything you need, nothing you don't. Back to Analog All you hear about is digital technology these days. But don't be fooled: analog technology has never stopped getting better. In fact, the components that go into the Moog Little Phatty II analog synths are better now than when Bob Moog was releasing his most celebrated synth designs in the '60s and '70s. So if you want to put your hands on some real knobs, turn real honest-to-gosh electricity into sound, and look downright cool while doing it -- you're going to want one of these in your keyboard arsenal immediately.
