Foreword
We here at Moog Music are grateful that you have chosen the Slim Phatty® analog synthesizer for your musical
pursuits, and hope you find it to be an inspiring instrument for years to come.
Good things can come in small packages – and “the Slim” is no exception. Making the Slim Phatty has been a
labor of love, transforming the electronic workings of the Little Phatty® into a package that is easily used as a
desktop or a 3U rack-mount unit. Its small stature doesn’t take away from the massive sounds it can produce. This
should come as no surprise as it is a direct descendant of the Little Phatty, Minimoog Voyager®, as well as the
original Minimoog® Model D synthesizers. These are all instruments that bear the stamp of Bob Moog’s creative
genius for designing analog synthesizer technology with soul. It is our honor and pleasure to bear his torch forward
into the future.
I’d like to thank the team who helped bring this instrument from the drawing board to reality: Cyril Lance, Amos
Gaynes, Rick Shaich, Eric Church, Dean Cavnaugh, Chris Stack, and of course, our fearless leader, Mike Adams.
Special thanks are due to Greg Kist who authored this fine manual. Also, thanks to you, our customer, for using
our products and pushing the boundaries of music forward. Finally I’d like to pay tribute to my friend, Bob Moog.
We remember you not only for your genius as an instrument designer, but for your genius at living with passion,
generosity, humility, and mirth.
The only thing more gratifying than making excellent musical tools for our customers is hearing what they think
of our instruments and hearing the music they create. Take a moment to register your Slim Phatty’s warranty.
This can be done either on our website Moogmusic.com, or by regular mail with the enclosed warranty card. Visit
our website to learn the latest information about the Slim, and our other products, many of which make great
playmates for your new instrument. Our forum is filled with enthusiasts who are always willing to share knowledge,
tips, ideas, and music with their fellow forum members. It is a remarkable on-line community. If you have a
moment, drop us a line and let us know how you are enjoying your Slim Phatty.
Most important – make some music!
May your sonic adventures with your Slim Phatty be full of discovery and enjoyment.
