copyright Moog Music © 2007 Page 3 1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the Little Phatty Editor/Librarian! The Editor/Librarian is designed to be the ultimate tool for organizing and creating presets for the Little Phatty. Through a MIDI connection, this program can receive single presets or an entire bank of presets from the Little Phatty - as well as replace individual presets or an entire bank. Once the presets are transmitted to the Editor/Librarian, all preset parameters can be displayed in a graphical user interface, including edit functions like Pot Mapping, Touch Surface Destinations and Filter Poles. The settings of the front panel controls can be displayed with several resolutions, including: 7 bit, 8 bit and high resolution (16-bit), to allow super-precise sound editing. The program can also be used to learn the inner details of the factory presets. Using the Librarian, presets can be organized to create custom preset banks – a terrific feature for musicians preparing for their next gig! In addition, a Preset Genetics function is available to create new presets by morphing or mutating two presets together. You can also play the Little Phatty remotely from the Macintosh keyboard. A Little Phatty OS update function is incorporated to simplify Little Phatty OS updates.
