Little Phatty Editor Librarian

"Attention all Little Phatty owners, here’s a great accessory for storing, editing, mutating, morphing, and creating presets. The Little Phatty Editor Librarian now available for use on both Mac and Windows platforms.

The Little Phatty Editor Librarian is designed to be the ultimate tool for organizing and creating presets for both the Little Phatty Tribute and Stage Editions. Through a MIDI connection from the Little Phatty to a computer, this program can receive single presets or an entire bank of presets from the Little Phatty - as well as replace individual presets or an entire bank. Once the presets are transmitted to the LP Editor Librarian, all preset parameters can be displayed in a graphical user interface, including edit functions like Pot Mapping and Filter Poles.

The settings of the front panel controls can be displayed with several resolutions, including: 7 bit, 8 bit and high resolution (16-bit), to allow super-precise sound editing. The program can also be used to learn the inner details of the factory presets. Using the LP Editor Librarian, presets can be organized to create custom preset banks – a terrific feature for musicians preparing for their next gig! In addition, a Preset Genetics function is available to create new presets by morphing or mutating two presets together.

You can also play the Little Phatty remotely from the computer keyboard. A Little Phatty OS update function is incorporated, too, simplifying Little Phatty OS updates.

You can demo the Little Phatty Editor Librarian software by downloading it from the Moog Music website.

Price: $69.00"

And the LP OS Update:
"As part of Moog Music's philosophy of Lavish Product Support, we are pleased to announce the release of OS v1.03c for the Little Phatty Stage and Tribute Editions. OS v1.03c introduces several new features to the Little Phatty. The Master Menu order has changed to incorporate these new features in a streamlined and logical fashion.

Some of the new features and enhancements are...

PRESET STORAGE

The preset save routine has been improved. As always, to save a preset you press the ENTER/STORE button while in Panel Mode. You will see two lines on the Little Phatty display. The top line shows the location where the preset will be saved, and the name of the preset which is currently saved in that location. No more overwriting your favorite presets by mistake!

MIDI CC

The Modulation Wheel and Filter Cutoff parameters now send and receive high-resolution 14-bit Midi CC messages. This allows for finer control and more smooth-sounding changes, whether you are using the LP as a MIDI controller or controlling the LP via MIDI from your sequencer.

ADVANCED PRESET

Has a new KEYB PRIORITY setting - default is GLOB (global), which inherits the Global Keyboard Priority set on the KEYBD PRIORITY menu. You can now choose to set a different keyboard priority which is saved per patch.

MIDI SETUP

MIDI functions have been consolidated to one menu, and some tasty new features have been added.

MIDI SETUP contains the following items: ALL NOTES OFF, LOCAL CONTROL, MIDI MERGE, POLY

The new features are Midi Merge and Poly. If Midi Merge is ON, the LP will echo all MIDI received at its MIDI IN port to the MIDI OUT port, merged with any Midi data which is generated by the LP. This allows you to pass Midi data THRU the LP, which was not formerly possible.

The Poly menu is used to set up multiple Moog synths as a polyphonic synth stack. MIDI control numbers are consistent between the Voyager and Little Phatty, so any parameter changes such as pitch bend and mod wheel, filter cutoff and so on, should affect all voices simultaneously.

For more information and to download the new OS, visit the software sections of the Little Phatty Stage and Little Phatty Tribute pages on the Moog Music website."

  1. $70, for an editor and patch librarian? Who the hell are they kidding?

  2. that price suggests they are revenue sharing between the developer, and they need a minimum mark-up.

  3. I don't know...I don't really buy that.

    Why would they need to go to an outside developer in the first place? Don't they have people at Moog who write the OS'es for their synths? I would be surprised if a project like this patch librarian took more man hours than a single OS update.
