Hot on the heels of their announcement to launch a new semi-modular synth, the Minimoog Voyager XL, Moog Music have sent us news of a rather more compact affair, the SlimPhatty. Compact and comely, the Moog SlimPhatty is essentially the sound-generating part of a Little Phatty, but with the keyboard omitted. It features two oscillators, a fourth-order (24dB/octave) Moog ladder filter, two ADSR envelopes and a four-waveform LFO. A 1x2 Mod Bus allows you to route the eight possible modulation sources to four different destinations, while four CV inputs (for volume, filter, pitch and gate) allow you to integrate external synths and modules.
Best of all, however, is the price: this bijous beast is a bit of a bargain, at just £699 including VAT! The Moog Music SlimPhatty is expected to be available in the UK from the beginning of next year. For more information, check out the Moog Music web site, below.
