SETUP & CONNECTIONS

1) Connect your Sub Phatty synthesizer via USB cable to your computer. If using DIN MIDI

cables, connect both the MIDI Input and MIDI Output to ensure two-way communication.

NOTE: Be sure to set up your MIDI I/O settings on your Mac or PC.

For more information, about connecting your synthesizer to a computer and audio device

please refer to the Sub Phatty User's manual. Page 7-8

INSTALLATION:

- Mac users: Click on the .pkg file, select which versions of the editor you want to install and

click the CONTINUE button.

- Windows users: Manually place the .dll files in your default VST plugin directory.

PRES ET MAN AGE R The name of the editor's currently active preset shows in the preset window. To select a preset, click on the window to open a pull down menu of available presets, or use the arrows to scroll through the list. Clicking on the folder icon opens a popup window to select "hardware" (the 16 presets currently stored in the Sub Phatty) or "local folder" (presets stored in a folder on the computer.

EDIT CATE GORIES: When selected you can double click or right click on any category to rename it. (Be sure to exit this tab or you will not be able to view your presets) Category labels make it easier to organize or search for sounds by type. To assign a preset to a category, click on a preset and select the category from the pull down menu. SHA RE P RESE TS: Uploads the selected preset(s) to moogconnect.net and places a link in your default email client.

WH EELS AN D P IT CH PITCH W HEE L AMO U NT: Clicking on the numerical field at the top and bottom of the Pitch Wheel allows you to set the pitch bend range up and down from 0 to 24 semitones. Page 26 MOD WHE EL: Specifies the modulation wheel’s preset value. KB O CT: Click on the numerical field to specify the Sub Phatty’s keyboard octave position. Page 22 KB SE MI: Click on the numerical field to specify the Sub Phatty’s keyboard transposition offset in semitones.

FILTE R AM T: Specifies the maximum amount of modulation sent to the Filter Cutoff when the Mod Wheel is engaged. Page 21 WAVE AMT: Specifies the maximum amount of modulation sent to the Oscillator’s Waveform when the Mod Wheel is engaged. Page 21 MO DULA TI ON SH I FT M O DE P AR AM ETE RS LFO RA N GE: Selects the frequency range at which the LFO operates. Select between Low (0.01 to 10Hz), Medium (0.1 to 100Hz), or High (1 to 1000Hz) ranges.

OSCILL ATO RS OSCILL ATO RS: The Sub Phatty’s primary source of sound. They generate four waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, square, and pulse. Page 13 OCT AVE : Selects the oscillator’s pitch in one octave increments. Page 13 HA RD SY N C OS C 2: Forces the restart of Oscillator 2's cycle based on Oscillator 1's start phase. Oscillator 2 is phase locked to harmonically related overtones of Oscillator 1's root pitch.

MI XE R The mixer combines audio signals from each of the Sub Phatty’s four internal sound sources and the external audio input. NOTE: Any setting above 6 will overdrive the filter’s input. Page 15 OSC 1: Controls the level of Oscillator 1. Page 15 SUB OS C: Controls the level of Sub Oscillator. The Sub Phatty’s sub oscillator is a fixed square wave tuned exactly one octave below the pitch of Oscillator 1. Page 15 OSC 2: Controls the level of Oscillator 1.

MAS TER VOL UM E: Controls the volume of a preset and can be stored per-preset. Page 35 FIL TE R The Sub Phatty has a classic Moog Ladder filter with four selectable slopes. Lowpass filters pass all frequencies up to a point called the cutoff frequency, and then gradually attenuate frequencies above that point. CU TOF F: Controls the filter's cutoff frequency from 20Hz to 20 KHz. Page 16 RESON A N CE: Emphasizes harmonics closest to the cutoff frequency and exaggerates any changes to the cutoff frequency.

24dB-per- octave slope. Page 28 ENV EL OP ES The envelopes determine the brightness and volume contour of a sound, and the filter envelope can be used as a source in the modulation section. Each of the Sub Phatty’s envelope generators has four stages: attack, decay, sustain, and release (abbreviated ADSR). AT TA CK: Specifies the time it takes for the filter or amplifier to ascend to their peak value.
PAGE 12
Page 24 FA ST DE CAY : Sharpens decay and release slopes without affecting their time. RESET: When Envelope Reset is turned on, each new note triggers the envelope causing it to reset from Zero. When Envelope Reset is turned OFF, the envelope Attack sweeps the envelope output only from its current level to the maximum level. Page 30, 31 MUL TI T RIG: With multiple triggering turned on, a new gate occurs each time you play a note on the keyboard.

MIDI POR T W AR NIN G: If the Sub Phatty is not properly communicating with the Editor, this will warn you that the hardware is disconnected or unavailable. Echo MIDI from Hos t: Merges MIDI from the host DAW and the Editor plugin and sends it to the Sub Phatty's specified MIDI input. SUB PHA TT Y GL OB AL SE TT INGS MIDI IN CH A NNE L: Selects the channel on which your Sub Phatty will receive MIDI information.

(Default is OFF) CC7/ VO L: Sends everything except volume data. PA NEL K NOBS: Only sends data from the keyboard, Mod Whee l, and Pi tch Whee l. KEYS O NLY: Sends note data only. STAR T WI TH A CTIV E P A NEL: Upon turning on the Sub Phatty, the front panel settings determine the sound rather than loading a preset.
