			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found that the heart of analog delay - BBD are no longer produced.<br />
That explains limited offer of Moogerfooger 104z, and Doepfer BBD modules, as well as high prices for guitar delay pedals.</p>
<p>I think I should get an analog delay ASAP. Moreover, it will fill the gap in my planned CybOrc setup.<br />
Planned external part will be: </p>
<ul>
<li>Jomox M-Resonator</li>
<li>some Valve distortion (possibly Radial Trimode)</li>
<li>and an Analog Delay or two</li>
</ul>
<p>The best AD candidate is Maxon AD999. 900ms of delay!<br />
Boss AD9 is only 300ms max, but 3 times as cheap.<br />
MF-104Z is a luxury, 1000ms at $750 - not for me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a Music-Moscow 2007 show I had a chance yesterday to try out Moog Little Phatty Stage edition.<br />
Here are my impressions.</p>
<p>On the positive side:</p>
<ol>
<li>Very fast, punchy envelopes.</li>
<li>Smooth filter overdrive control, sound very good</li>
<li>Wave morphing sound cool (Moogs have continuous wave-select control for oscillators, from Saw to Trianlge to Square to Pulse)</li>
</ol>
<p>On the negative:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cheap feel. Mostly, because knobs are loosy. Plastic side panels also contribute to the feel.</li>
<li>It has one potentiometer per section.<br />
I.e. one for Oscillators, one for Filter mangling, and one for Envelopes. It looks like encoder on the photos, because of the LED ring, but it is not. It is a real continious potentiometer (it feels like it), and LED ring just approximates its position. I suppose, the control electronics is a number of Sample-and-Hold units, and mode buttons connect the potentiometer to appropriate S&#038;H.<br />
A clever idea, but because of one knob per section, you can&#8217;t, for example, lower the filter cutoff and raise the resonance without jumps:</p>
<ul>
<li>you press the cutoff button</li>
<li>adjust the cutoff frequency</li>
<li>press the resonance button</li>
<li>LED ring shows the current value of the resonance</li>
<li>BUT: the knob itself is where you left it in cutoff mode</li>
<li>when you touch it, the resonance will jump to the current knob position</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<p>Overral, for me it is not worth the money ($1500).<br />
I have an Andromeda, and its Filter2 sound very Moogish, so Little Phatty does little here.<br />
Then, it is very limited in its modulation possibilities, and I find myself drifting toward modulars.</p>
<p>But it has its own character. Filter overdrive, fast envelopes and wave morphing sound awesome.<br />
If you don&#8217;t need flexible real-time tweaking, and complex modulations, if you want just play your cool lead and/or bass solos, it is a very  musical instrument. Yes, not a just synth, but an instrument.</p>
