Mo'Phatt : 64 Voice Urban Dance Synth
Mo'Phatt Logo
Overview The Mo'Phatt was launched in late spring 2000 (and available in late summer), as the Urban Dancel Module in the new Proteus "1000" range. With a highly credible 64 voices and 32 MB of samples, the Mo'Phatt upgrades the old Planet Phatt by a factor of 4, adding hundreds of more samples, plus new functions from the Audity 2000.

Filters The Mo'Phatt has 50 Z-plane 14-pole digital filters some of which are extracted from the 197 filter types that were created for the Morpheus. Some are rather newer (e.g. TB303!) There are a wide range of filters from traditional analog, to formants and flange/phaser. If you use some of the more complex filters your voice polphony will reduce by a half.

Configuration There are four "oscillators" called Instruments, Layers 1 - 4. They each can replay any of the 16-bit sampled waveforms, which are connected to the Z-plane filter, and then a digitally controlled amplifier(DCA) and stereo pan.

There are 2 envelope generators (one for the filter, and one for the DCA), plus a third assignable envelope generator. There are also two independent LFO's per layer, each with 17 different waveforms and they can sync to MIDI clock. Then there is a full modular patch cord facility to enable control of any of the 64 destinations, with any of the 64 sources.

Effects The Mo'Phatt has the usual dual 24-bit effects set up, with 76 types of basic effects. Rather long in the tooth, but useful neverthless, - not a substitute for a dedicated unit.

Verdict The Mo'
Phatt is a great step up from the original - well worth buying !
