There is also a rare limited edition with blue LED lighting that came in a purple aluminum case. An editor when its not knob per function is always neccesaary Share Reply Quote. The third version, called the Stage II, had some minor mechanical and electrical tweaks as well as adding a USB interface, a new arpeggiator and tap tempo. I dont understand why there is no slim editor - the moog editor is for the little phatty only but Im thinking of picking up 2 more over the next year for polyphony. The later 'Stage Edition' featured orange and red lighting, grey rubberized panels and the classic Moog logo replacing the signature. The earlier 'Tribute Edition', a limited run of 1200 units, featured blue LED lighting, wooden side panels and Bob Moog's signature decaled onto the convex back panel. Aside from a few cosmetic differences (and price), all units have nearly identical sound generation circuitry. There are currently four versions of the Little Phatty. On 9 September 2013, Moog Music announced the discontinuation of the Little Phatty analog synthesizer. This allows for better integration in the modern studio and for live performance. It is one of the few Moog synthesizers to utilize MIDI from the factory (the others being the Minimoog Voyager and the earlier Memorymoog+). Jordan Rudess of the band Dream Theater also assisted with the design of the product. MIDI Clock Sync allows you to synchronize the LFO and arpeggiator. It is also the first Moog product to be produced following his death. You can also connect it directly to a computer running the Little Phatty Editor/Librarian. Its design was conceived, in part, by Robert Moog himself, and is the last instrument to have that distinction, although the primary engineer was Cyril Lance.
The Little Phatty is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music from 2006 to 2013, preceded by the Voyager and succeeded by Voyager Old School.
