At least they took away the worst part of the Little Phatty

If you mean the keyboard, I agree.

 

However, my only concern with using this in a 'performance' capacity would be the lack of the analog pitch/mod wheels.

 

One of my favourite parts of the little phatty kb was the way the pitch bend wheel reacted so musically and smoothly. No stepping as it was completely analog - this will now all depend on the resolution of the pitch bend wheel on your controller.

Yes I was certainly refering to that god awful, way beneath Moog quality keyboard.

 

But you do bring up a valid point, as Moog resolution for their pitch and mod wheels is generally pretty good from my understanding.

Pitchbend uses NRPN values instead of MIDI CCs. That means 16,386 possible values... no stepping.... right?

 

What I'm wondering is what other MIDI controller info it will accept. Velocity? Aftertouch? Tempo-synced LFOs? Arp gate? Programmable filter and res sweeps?

 

Or is this just good old-fashioned technology with access to only note on/off?

Not exactly. The quality of the pitch bend mechanism/tracking of the controller has a lot to do with it.

 

Eg: If I use my S90 to control a softsynth and pitch-bend with its excellent pitch-bend wheel, it's smooth and seamless.

 

If I try the same thing with my Novation Nocturn49 it's a lot less smooth.

 

With my Korg R3, it's horrible - VERY blatant stepping.

Me, lol. Looks mighty interesting though. I wonder what it'll end up costing here in Europe...

 

 

Right now 700 UKPounds and I hear the EURO price will be high too.

 

I guess it will drop after the initial rush to approx

[Tomkeen]

Yes. At this price point it's too expensive for me. I'd rather get a Mopho keyboard for less money.

[Bernard]

Ok who's going to be the first to complain that you can't put this on a rack?

 

STOP YEARH PLAIN'N

 

 

 

[Bernard]

Looks rack-mountable to me.

 

One whole internet on it's way.

 

Don't spend it all at once

 

[Bernard]

Yes. At this price point it's too expensive for me. I'd rather get a Mopho keyboard for less money.

 

New nickname... the SLAT (SLATTY)

 

The Slat will be mine if the price drops enough.

 

I like the Mopho but the voice in my head keeps say'n no

 

[Tomkeen]

The voice in my head won't shut up. I've been spending way too much money on gear lately..

[The Audacity Works]

They upped it by 50 bucks. $849 now.

Sweetwater shows $795

Novamusik showed the same this morning ($795).

[Franz Schiller]

The thought has occurred to me to get two SLATTIES to polychain up to my Keyboard L'ATTY. A three voice Moog sounds tempting.

[Buuzer]

This makes me wonder why Moog doesn't come out with a 5 voice polyphonic synth for around $5000.00. I'm sure it's possible.

 

Then again, I'm sure it's possible that I have a shot at hooking up with Kate Beckinsale.

They've also got their 'pre-order special'. They'll usually knock a few bucks off if you contact them and pre-order something:

Who cares if the SP is not something new? It hits the right price point and makes owning a Moog affordable for more people. I'm in. Love the Voyager, but it's out of my price range. Had planned on a LP for a future purchase, but I'll go for the SP so I can get a Moog sooner. And for those who don't like the LP's keyboard, now you can get a Phatty and use the controller of your choice. The SP could very well become Moog's top seller. (Yeah, we all want a poly Moog synth, but how affordable will it be for the average Joe?)

[MuzikB]

Sold! Is this available now?
