LAYOUT: Moog Little/Slim Phatty Updatedby thedood

Question

Bronze

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Moog

Background

I got hold of a Moog Slim phatty a while back and was suprised by how much control was "hidden" in the menu system. Moog dont use much Sys Exclusive and instead map all of their control to standard Midi Controller numbers (why most manufacturers don't do this is beyond me, midi sysex is powerful, but lets be honest...it sux to code up, and the learning curve is high, especially if you just wanna play the synth!)

Layout targets 3.2.1 Firmware.

I designed this pretty fast, and as I went to upload it, I was a little bummed out to see someone had already done a version of this a few years back. This made me feel a little stupid cause I forgot to even check ;) But luckily my work wasn't in vain, the older version on this site targets a lower version of Moog Firmware, below version 3. After v 3.0, Moog drastically changed the way the midi clock sync works on the LFO and Arpeggiator, and included many more options, these are included in this new updated version, so Im now glad I done it. This one has updated GUI and works from one page.

This layout uses all the Midi Control available, and you basically never have to delve into the menu system, unless you want to change a midi channel etc.

I won't bother with explanation, it's pretty straight forward and this seems to be pretty solid in use so it's a final version.

Have fun

Thanks Brett, this looks great!  Always a relief when you don't have to mess with SysEx.  So if using firmware below 3.0 you would need to update the Phatty to work with this layout?

Hey Mitch. Yeah, CCs are nice and simple. It should still work ok for anything running below 3.0, but the Clock Divisions for the LFO and Arp will give unreliable results, as they added more and this technically changed the divisions between 0-127 values for each division. So say there were 24 entries, Moog basically divide 128 by 24 and you have to manually input each steps value. All that will happen is when you change the Clock divisions it wont change to the correct division you need in the older firmware, but otherwise most of the basic controls (filter cut, res etc) all stayed the same.
