"In honor of the new Moog Sub Phatty analog synthesizer's release today, experimental multi-genre music producer, Flying Lotus, and Adult Swim veteran, Adam 'Lilfuchs' Fuchs collaborated on a short animation called Moog Sub Phatty: New Machine For Living. You can hear the new Sub Phatty analog synthesizer in Flying Lotus's original score for the animation."

"New Moog Sub Phatty Synthesizer Sets New Standard for Analog Sound Design

ASHEVILLE, NC – January 21, 2013 – Moog Music is proud to introduce the Sub Phatty analog synthesizer, a 25 full-size key, 31 knob production instrument that melds the soul and functionality of vintage analog synthesizers with new and unique sound design tools. Building on the tradition of Moog’s highly successful Phatty family, the Sub Phatty grinds and screams with a uniquely aggressive voice — making it the new standard for synth bass, analog percussion, and a wide range of sound design applications.

The engineers at Moog Music have reimagined the Sub Phatty’s sound engine. The instrument features two variable waveshape oscillators that perform with extreme clarity and accuracy while requiring almost no warm-up time. Users can simply power up, dial in settings, and put their fingers to work on the keys to summon crisp and detailed waveforms with vibrant sound that brims with high-frequency harmonic content, yet stays true to the rich sonic density that has become synonymous with Moog synthesizers.

“We set out to design the grittiest Moog synth ever, one that still offers all of the great sound and flexibility that Moog synthesizers are known for, but that also really has teeth,” said Mike Adams, President of Moog Music. “One of the great advantages of the Sub Phatty is its ability to conjure aggressive sounds that cut through a dance mix, stand out on-stage, or burn up the studio. We think that everyone from producers and sound designers to DJs and synthesists will have a blast using it.”

The Sub Phatty’s filter includes the transformative new Multidrive circuit, a unique combination of OTA distortion and FET drive, which serves as the sparkplug in the instrument’s powerful sound. At low settings, Multidrive adds warmth and width; when pushed, it delivers a screaming snarl that is highly reactive to resonance, waveshape, and oscillator level.

Users can access a total of 16 definable presets via the 4x4 preset matrix on the Sub Phatty’s front panel. This matrix also doubles as a control panel for the instrument’s subcutaneous nerve center — users can select filter poles, set pitch bend amounts, toggle between legato glide modes, and more. These functions can also be accessed via the included Sub Phatty standalone/plugin editor.

The configuration of the Sub Phatty’s mixer section allows users to easily determine, at any given moment, which sources overdrive the filter and which simply pass through it. The mixer section further hosts controls for a square wave sub oscillator; those operating the Sub Phatty can utilize this tool as a third oscillator for added depth, or to craft their own customized incarnations of monstrous Moog bass. Also in the mixer section is a noise generator voiced to deliver rich, punchy low-frequency content, designed for analog percussion and sound effects.

In honor of the Sub Phatty’s release, experimental multi-genre music producer, Flying Lotus, and Adult Swim veteran, Adam Fuchs collaborated on a psychedelic short animation called Moog Sub Phatty: New Machine For Living. Flying Lotus’s original score was made primarily with the Sub Phatty synthesizer and dynamically shows off its bold sound. This unique animation can be viewed on Moog’s website at www.moogmusic.com/animation.
The Sub Phatty brings a fearless new voice to the Moog family of synthesizers. With its streamlined interface and dynamic sound design flexibility, this new synth fuses an unparalleled connection between human & machine, opening the door to unprecedented sonic exploration.

This video is a bit long for what it is, but there are some sweat spots so I went ahead and uploaded it. The SUB PHATTY is being sequenced by StepPolyArp on an original iPad. One sequence throughout. Dry signal up to 1:42 and then liberal effects - mainly reverb & phaser. As always, just tweaking and exploring sound. Think of these more like enjoying flavors of sound rather than compositions of music. A bit like sonic wine tasting! :) Remember to set it to HD otherwise your will be denying your sonic palate!

Sweetwater's Director of Production Optimization, Daniel Fisher, demonstrates the very cool Moog Sub Phatty 25-key synthesizer. Daniel really shows off the performance potential of the Sub Phatty, thanks to its generous array of dedicated knobs.

Daniel explains the architecture of the Sub Phatty and its connections before demonstrating just some of the sounds you can create with it. First he plays a range of sounds with just the Sub Phatty, then through some the Moog Clusterflux and MF-104M Delay pedals to show even more creative potential.

Moog Sub Phatty Smoother Sounds Demo

Published on Jul 22, 2013 Pete Brown·27 videos

"I was asked on the Gearslutz forums (like below) if the Sub Phatty could do something that is a bit smoother and not quite so aggressive. It's no voyager, but you can get some smoothness out of it. No comments on the playing itself, please. I never said I was a musician :)

Also, I have a cold. Sorry for the heavy breathing into the mic :)

I did this all live on camera, completely dry (no effects or eq). I didn't try to create these patches ahead of time. You can certain do more, especially if you play with the two envelope generators.

Given that it's only two octaves, I can't recommend the Sub Phatty for leads and other similar work. Even for bass, I'd prefer another octave. That said, it's a great sounding synth that is built like a tank. Great knobs, great key action, and a really solid feel.

Here's the Sub Phatty recording I did which prompted this one:"


"100% Sub Phatty (including percussion) with some reverb and delay. Multi-tracked my new Moog Sub Phatty to see what it really sounds like (7 tracks). It's an angry mutha -- not your typical Moog sound, although you can hear it in the roots for sure.

Do yourself a favor and listen with headphones or something with a good bit of low end. That's where the Sub Phatty lives.

If the start of the sweep at the beginning isn't rumbling your gut, download the source file for the full sound. Phatty loses a lot in soundcloud compression because it has so much bottom end."

MOOG LIVES. PLAY ON. | The Making of the Little Phatty & Its Discontinuation

Published on Sep 9, 2013 MoogMusicInc·253 videos

"The Little Phatty was released in 2006 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Moog Music founder and synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog. Following the passing of Dr. Moog, The Little Phatty was the first Moog synthesizer designed by Moog Music's Chief Engineer, Cyril Lance.

Over the course of its seven year production run, the Little Phatty has gone through three incantations including The Tribute, Stage I, and Stage II editions. During that time, the Little Phatty has become one of the best selling professional analog synthesizers in history. Its sonic impact on modern music can be heard on thousands of records, and its signature swooped-back silhouette can be seen in top recording facilities around the world as well as on the stages of internationally touring musical acts such as Rush, Jack White, Queens of The Stone Age, No Doubt, Bernie Worrell and the hit shows American Idol, Nashville and Portlandia"

"Today we announce the discontinuation of the Little Phatty synthesizer, released in 2006 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Moog Music founder and synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog"

Update: and the official press release:

"ASHEVILLE, NC – September 9, 2013 – Moog Music today announced the discontinuation of the Little Phatty Stage II analog synthesizer. Moog plans to continue building a limited quantity of units at their factory in downtown Asheville while parts and materials last, which is not expected to be more than two months. The Little Phatty was released in 2006 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Moog Music founder and synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog. Following the passing of Dr. Moog, The Little Phatty was the first Moog synthesizer designed by Moog Music's Chief Engineer, Cyril Lance.

“After Bob’s passing, we faced the immense challenge of creating a new synthesizer that would embody the values that we all treasured in Bob," Lance recalls. “We worked around the clock to develop an instrument that was founded on his continually forward-looking view of synthesis."

Over the course of its seven-year production run, the Little Phatty has gone through three incantations including The Tribute, Stage I, and Stage II editions. During that time, the Little Phatty has become one of the best selling professional analog synthesizers in history. Its sonic impact on modern music can be heard on thousands of records, and its signature swooped-back silhouette can be seen in top recording facilities around the world as well as on the stages of internationally touring musical acts such as Rush, Jack White, Queens of The Stone Age, No Doubt, Bernie Worrell and the hit shows American Idol, Nashville and Portlandia.

“The Little Phatty represented a key foundational element in what would become the future of Moog Music," said Michael Adams, Moog Music President & CEO. "It was the synthesizer that proved to the world that Moog Music would continue to create market leading, forward-thinking synthesizers. The fact that the Little Phatty remains an industry standard instrument for artists and producers to this day, is a testament to its design.”

The Little Phatty Stage II is still available in limited quantities at stocking dealers in standard and custom colors while supplies last. For pricing and availability, please visit www.moogmusic.com/dealers.

Mini Documentary and Promotional Incentives
Moog Music released a mini-doc entitled Moog Lives. Play On.: The Making of the Little Phatty today which can be viewed on the Moog website. In the video, Moog Music President Mike Adams, Chief Engineer Cyril Lance, and Product Development Specialist Steve Dunnington recall how the Little Phatty came to life, the challenges that were faced when Dr. Moog fell ill, and how they were eventually overcome to create this one of a kind instrument.

As a thank you to existing Little Phatty owners, Moog Music is offering a free Little Phatty Gig Bag (an $80 value) with the purchase of the Little Phatty CV Output Modification. The modification adds one gate and four CV outputs to the Little Phatty for those desiring greater expressive flexibility.

Moog Sub Phatty Explorations 3 - Looping Envelopes

Published on Oct 11, 2015 matrixsynth

Set to HD for best quality. Listen on good monitors or headphones and turn it up.

http://www.moogmusic.com/products/phattys/sub-phatty

The Moog Sub Phatty has a little trick up its sleeves that was missing on the Voyager and Little Phatty: loopable envelopes. You have to enable them via the software editor for the Sub Phatty. For those not familiar with loopable envelops, they pretty much are what they sound like. Envelopes on most synths end after the Release stage. A loopable or looping envelope goes back to the Attack stage and repeats for as long as you hold a note down. You can essentially use it as an LFO with four stages of variable time. In this video I start with the Release stage set full so you hear the Sub Phatty being played as normal. I then bring back the Release and you can hear the envelop clearly loop. In this video I played with the VCA envelope. You'll note a few sweet spots. Note when the envelop repeats at a very high rate the pitch does not track as you might expect (it does track with the filter as seen here). It's still a great effect. The signal starts dry and I later add some reverb and phaser at 1:30.

Side note: see if you can spot the three synths in the background.

All parts here, including a demo of looping envelopes applied to the filter.
