Stage III ideas

[JWaltman]

something else... extra LFO.. and an option to set a default depth other then zero!

a lot of my patches are only good when mod wheel is fully open, some standard modulation would be nice.. like putting LFO 2 at a fixed depth (user definable) and assign LFO1 to the modwheel.

Ow..and option to put velocity to amplitude as well.

But all of these can be ignored if they add my biggest wish.. a keyboard length 3 octave pressure sensitive ribbon controller!

Or just tune the LP properly.. even after tuning I have to adjust it slightly clockwise to have it in tune with the rest.

I think JWaltman brings up a very good point about the modulation!

I have to say that it seems many of the things people want - other than the sequencer - are found in the Voyager. I'd still want Moog to be able to sell Voyagers. Whatever they decide - if they decide to do anything, it's important to bear in mind that the Phatty is an entry level synth for Moog. And, many of the things we're talking about, myself included, are things that are possible by getting a CP-251 and/or a couple o' Moogerfoogers. Which, to me, is also half of the fun

Thanks

I was thinking, maybe this is pretty easy to implement it this way.. an "invert mod depth" option.

So when the mod wheel is down, the LP acts if it's fully up, and vice versa. Of course this is preset assignable.

This way it can even be easily done in a simple software update

dunno how useful it'd be (esp since lfo has saw up and down), but it's a fun and probably very easily implementable idea.

I think you misunderstood me.. not the waveform but the amplitude depth should have an option to be reverse controlled by the mod mod..

Max amount when mod wheel is down. and the amount to zero when the mod wheel is turned entirely up.

Ah gotcha, I like this idea a lot, almost all of my patches tend to need the mod wheel up a bit to enjoy the patch in it's entirety... it'd be cool to have this as a "set and forget it" structuring, as since the LFO amount is saved with the patch, you could just set it for like 15% and w/ the mod wheel reversed, by default the patch would be ready to rock at optimal modulation.

I've already voiced this in the old S3 thread we had going, but I think it's pretty important (to me anyway, probably to Taurus III owners as well) so I thought I'd go again. But the ability to divide down the keyboard and send one group of notes (say the lowest octave) out to midi only (to control, say the Taurus, or some other device, ie. DSI Tetra) and then have the other group of notes simply controlling the LP.

@ CTRLSHFT

exactly

..another one.. save Arpeggiator status! "on" when saved that way.

both should be fairly simple.

of notes (say the lowest octave) out to MIDI only (to control, say the
Taurus) and then have the other group of notes simply controlling the LP.

Hi Jamezdd,

This can be accomplished several ways, but here's one of the simplest ways:

http://midisolutions.com/prodrte.htm

Set the Phatty to Local Off and send its MIDI Out to the MIDI In of this box.
Plug the box's MIDI Out 1 back into your Phatty. Choose your Note Range and
send all notes below that range to the box's 2nd MIDI Out, which could go to
your Taurus or other synth module.

The Little Phatty now has a Split Keyboard. You can also do Velocity Splits/Layers,
re-channelizing, and much more. It's a very flexible tool.

a noise generator will be great !

Also agreed, this'd be super handy.

Dan, I gotta say...it really helps having a Sweetwater person here. You have introduced me to gear I never knew existed...and even though I may not have a use for all of it, this is a piece I could definitely use!
