This is a real instrument
By Not my real name
The stupidest thing I ever did was to sell my mint condition MemoryMoog. That was 22 years ago.I'm so happy to have a real Moog again. I have tons of soft synths, but this is so much fun.

Limitations:
By Joseph Michael Guisti
There are heaps of positive reviews for all things Moog, so I will share the drawbacks I've found from two years of playing this synth, rather than all the things I love about it.First of all, to the people who might not have immediately understood this: this synth only plays one one at a time. It's a monophonic analog synthesizer. No chords, nothing that involves playing more than one note at a time.Now that we got that out of the way.This synth excels for the same reasons that a very well made guitar or saxophone excels. The character of the notes that comes out of it is extremely high quality, meaning that it's a very round, full sound with a rich spectrum of harmonics, plenty of bass, and something indescribable that just sounds expensive, rich, and creamy about the notes you play with it. Just like the notes that emit from a multi-thousand dollar saxophone sound rich, pure and refined.This synth, however, is not what you might call surprising. While there is an extremely wide range of tonal character and bizarre gurgly or bleepy-bloopy sounds--along with big fat bass notes or bombastic lead sounds--it's not an infinite sound machine. If you are new to synthesis, much of the Little Phatty might even sound dated or simplistic to your ears. Do you love new, aggressive dubstep? Complex sound-design genres like UK Bass, IDM, ambient, or atmospheric minimal techno? If so, you will find that the Little Phatty makes a certain type of sounds from those genres, but it will not create lush atmospherics, shockingly complex dubstep drops, otherwordly ghost sounds, or anything requiring the complex character of a digital, wavetable-based synthesizer like you might find in a software product like Native Instruments' Massive. It will not replicate physical instruments like strings or flutes very convincingly. Synthesis-wise, it's creamy but not horribly advanced. I'd go as far as to call it rudimentary: no onboard effects, no polyphony, and only a couple modulation options without adding additional hardware modules.What is it good for? In my opinion, the better the keyboardist you are, the more excellent it becomes. If you have sharp right-hand technique, know a bit of music theory, and have rhythm, you can absolutely kill it with this synth. Listen to James Blake's remix of Destiny's Child's 'Bills' (under his alias Harmonimix). Hear those funky, almost organ-y bass riffs he throws on top of everything? THAT'S what a machine like the LPhatty can do. If you can really run your right hand while juicing around the mod wheel with your left, you'll have a blast.If you are just looking for a machine that will make amazing sounds when you press one key and play around with some knobs and faders, you should either buy a full featured virtual analog like the Novation Ultranova, which will give you a wider sound palette (and the ability to play chords!) but won't have that creamy analog sound, or you can jump up in price dramatically to get a polyphonic analog synth with lots of modulation capabilities.Also: I gave it four stars because it's so damn expensive. I'm thrilled to own it, but I've gotten HOURS of fun and creative joy out of tools that cost a fraction of the price. Even for the quality that is Moog, you're probably adding $200 just for the Moog pedigree alone.
