Moog Little Phatty ARE (Australian Redback Edition)

via Moog Music

"The Little Phatty Australian Redback Edition is a specially designed for the Australian outback. Inspired by the Redback spider, it boasts a unique Redback colour scheme featuring Redback graphics, black side panels, flashing red pitch and mod wheels (synced to the LFO!) along with a custom red LCD and LEDs.

Good looks aren’t enough to survive in the Australian Outback. In addition to classic Moog sound and design, this Little Phatty features a powerful CV (Control Voltage) output section that transforms it into the heart of a portable modular synthesis system. Use it to control Moogerfoogers and other analog gear.

The five 1/4" analog CV outputs include:
- Gate (O to +5V)
- Pitch (1 volt per octave)
- Volume Envelope (0 to 5 Volts)
- Filter Envelope (O to 5 Volts)
- Mod Bus (Variable)

Sculpt Pitch/Volume envelopes CVs on the front panel by tweaking attack, decay, sustain and release parameters.

Send the Mod Bus sources (Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Ramp, sample & hold LFOs and Oscillator 2) to bring new life to other analog gear.

Use the Pitch CV output of an arpeggiating Little Phatty like an analog step-sequencer.

Combined with the standard Little Phatty CV inputs (Pitch, Volume, Filter and Gate), MIDI Clock Sync and MIDI-over-USB, the list of possible applications is as endless as your imagination.

To complete this special edition, each Little Phatty Australian Redback Edition is individually numbered 1- 200 making it an instant collector’s item.

"Australian artists and customers are a very passionate group, and have a huge appetite for synthesizers that inspire” said Lewis Chiodo, Company Director of Moog’s Australian distributor, Audio Chocolate. “Now, we have our very own special tribute to Australia. Australians, be proud of your part in the wonderful world of Moog.”

KORG WAVESTATION - HQ SOUND DEMO - digital synthesizer 1990

YouTube via AnalogAudio1 | September 08, 2010

"The Korg Wavestation is a great synthesizer for fantastic digital pad sounds. It came out 1990 and was actually developed by people from Sequential Circuits for Korg. The Wavestation reminds me of the M1 (similar hardware and similar basic sound), I think the Wavestation is also perfect for people who love the M1 as a synth. The Wavestation delivers similar synth sounds - but in better quality. It also has the same filter without resonance. Despite of this, it can sound amazing.

It's definitely not a "Music Workstation".

Like on the Roland D-50, the Vector stick is very useful to vary the sounds a little bit. That's important, because editing sounds on the WS is not easy. All in all, a fantastic inspiring instrument. If I must choose between WS and D-50, I would vote for the WS.

Many people played the Wavestation: Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Michael Cretu (Enigma), Peter Oxendale, Jan Hammer, Tony Banks (Genesis)...

In the video I show you some of my favourite sounds. Enjoy!

I played the Wavestation without any additional effects or eq. All you hear is coming straight out of the Korg WS."
