Congratulations on your purchase of a Moog Little Phatty. We are truly humbled and thankful that you have
chosen to be a Moog customer. We look forward to serving you with this product and many more Moog
products for years to come.
The Little Phatty Stage Edition is a great performance synth. If you read through this manual carefully and
incorporate all the Little Phatty has to offer in your rig you may fi nd that you do not need another synth for
live performance. The Phatty can serve as both a MIDI controller and of course, it delivers the Moog Sound.
The Little Phatty sounds great and is intuitively easy to use. We are hoping you are reading this manual after
a week or so of sleepless but blissful nights of playing the Little Phatty. The Phatty user interface was de-
signed to have you up and running in a matter of minutes.
The Little Phatty is built with care and pride by our team in Asheville, N.C. If you have a chance to come to
the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, call and come by and see us. We would be happy to
take you on a tour of the factory.
The look of the Stage Edition is something we hope you appreciate as well. Moog products are known for
their durability and we are confi dent the Phatty will uphold that tradition. One of the new features of the
Phatty is the rubberized side panels. We agonized over this aspect of the product and I think we have come
up with just the right combination of durability and feel. I hope you appreciate this small but important
aspect of the product.
I must recognize the hard working team that created the Phatty. Of course, it starts with Bob and his vision
for the product. The Engineering team of Cyril Lance, Steve Dunnington, and Mike Peio made it happen.
The design of any product is always the product of many minds but the Phatty design starts with Axel
Hartmann. If you ever have to service the Phatty you will thank mechanical engineering genius Klaus Weber.
The software for the LP was developed by the team of Chuck Carlson, Cyril Lance, and Peter Ning. Thanks
to Barry Darnell, one hard working dude, for our board designs. Thanks also to our Beta unit testers: Amos
Gaynes, Eric Frampton, Dan Goldman and many more.
If you enjoy this manual, thank Greg Kist! And then there was a host of artists who participated in the de-
sign process: Brian Kehew, Roger O'Donnell, Tom Brislin, Nigel Hopkins, Michael Vallarella, Keiichi Goto, Tomo
Nakamura, Mineto Yamaguchi, Mark Pulver, Steve Molitz, Eric Svalgard, Jordan Rudess, Nick Montoya. The
internal Moog marketing team: Jared White, Linda Pritchard, Siobhan Robinson all contributed their part to
the success of this project. And fi nally, nobody takes more pride in what they do than the production folks
at Moog Music led by Mike Peio, Plant Manager.
It was Bob's dream and it is our pleasure to bring this performance synth to you. We are very excited for
you and expect this product will provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
Let us hear from you as we hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you!
