The Slim Phatty Synthesizer

The Slim Phatty is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by a company called Moog Music that was created in the year 2011. It is among the first synthesizers created and produced after the death of Robert Moog (the founder of Moog Music) in 2005.

The Slim Phatty is considered by a lot of people to be an entry-level synthesizer, and a stripped down version of another one of Moog’s synthesizers called the Little Phatty (which is a more modernized version of another one of their synthesizers called the Minimoog Voyager). It is very portable due to it being only 5.5 lbs. It is also the first Moog synthesizer (beside the Little Phatty) that is capable of USB connectivity. Some of the notable features that the Slim Phatty is able to make use of include MIDI controller integration via out, in, and "thru" channels, two robust oscillators, diverse tuning controls, and the patented “Moog Ladder” filters. There are also a large number of preset sounds included.
