LP Stage II User’s Manual - The Basics

President, Moog Music
Foreword
Congratulations on your purchase of a Moog Little Phatty Stage II. We are truly appreciative that you have
chosen to be a Moog customer. We want you to be thrilled with your purchase and we want the LP
Stage II to match your creative energy, so we have packed it with an abundance of sonic capability.
The Little Phatty Stage II 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 find that you do not need another synth or
MIDI controller for live performance. Look for even more templates and libraries to support the Phatty as a
controller in the months to come.
We are constantly evolving our product offerings and so I hope you will register your product on our
website and trust us with your email address so we can send you updates via our electronic newsletter.
The Little Phatty sounds great and is intuitively easy to use. We hope you are reading this manual after a
week or so of sleepless but blissful nights playing the Little Phatty. The Phatty user interface was designed 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 II is something we hope you appreciate as well. Moog products are known for their
durability and we are confident 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 Little Phatty. Of course, it starts with Bob and his
vision for the product. The Engineering team of Cyril Lance, Steve Dunnington, Amos Gaynes, 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 and Cyril Lance.
If you enjoy this manual, thank Greg Kist! And then there was a host of artists who participated in the
design 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: Chris Stack, Linda Lafferty, Siobhan Robinson, and Heidi Bucher all
contributed their part to the success of this project. And finally, 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!
