Planet Phatt Operation Manual

STEP-BY-STEP
•␣ Channel Ripoff
When Planet Phatt uses up all its 32 channels and needs more, it steals
a channel from the key that has been in the release phase longest. This
is commonly known as “channel rip-off”. You will most commonly
encounter this “rip-off” when using Planet Phatt in multi-timbral
mode or when using massive preset links. Since Planet Phatt dynami-
cally allocates channels as needed, to eliminate rip-off you must
either, play fewer notes, use simpler sounds, turn off doubling (pri/sec,
chorus, or linked presets), or use MIDI overflow to another Planet
Phatt unit.
• Using External Processing
Don't be afraid to use external processing on specific sounds if you feel
the urge. The submix sends and returns on Planet Phatt are there for a
reason. In many instances a bit of reverb or EQ will be just the thing
an instrument needs to give it a distinct identity. Incidentally, an
external fuzz box can work wonders on otherwise harmless sounds. By
dedicating one of your old fuzz boxes to a submix out/in, you can
have programmable distortion for use on basses, organs or whatever.
Using the programmable outputs and returns, specific presets can be routed through
your favorite effects without using up precious mixer channels.
