We thoroughly tested this Moog Little Phatty in the shop.  What a fun tour through the weirdness that this tool brings to your creativity.  We did find one key that has a partial issue.  The F above Middle C key does generate notes, but somehow it doesn't fully trigger like the rest.  For instance, on one patch there is a higher, attack portion of the sound that kind of rides above a bassier fundamental.  On the F key, the higher part of the sound just doesn't come out.  All the other keys produce the full sound.  On some patches the effect isn't there.  I'm not the person to fix this, so this item is for sale as-is.  All other functions appear to be just fine.

From the web:

The Little Phatty is the next great thing to emerge from the revitalized Moog Music synthesizer company. It is sort of a notch below the Voyager, but should not really be categorized as such because the Little Phatty is a powerful synth with a layout and design that looks less into the past and more towards the future.

The Little Phatty boasts a 100 percent analog signal path, 100 user editable presets and a 37-note keyboard. It is a monophonic synth with two oscillators (the Voyager has three osc). Waveform selector is continuously variable between waveforms (tri, saw, square, pulse) and there is oscillator-sync. The filter is the classic Moog ladder design. Two ADSR envelope generators are available for the volume and the filter. And finally a nice LFO with six waveshapes, four destinations and rate/depth controls helps to get things moving. The 'Master' section of the keyboard has controls for Tuning, +/-2 Octave Transpose, Glide, Pitch/Mod wheels and some data entry controls. There are no on-board sequencers or effects, however.

OK so they aren't that cheap. And they aren't very feature-rich compared with some of its competitors. But it is a genuine Moog. Its sound engine was designed by the late and great Bob Moog himself. It's the final synth he built for us. And it simply sounds amazing! It's analog but with such ultra-stability and such a modern and expressive interface, using the Little Phatty is an absolute joy - for experimenting, learning, jamming and having fun - it's one of the best 21st century synths for analog basses, leads, effects, noises and more.
