The Moog Slim Phatty – also known as the Moooooog Slim Phatty – gets the usual thorough review and workout from Sonic State in this video.
The Moog Slim Phatty is the entry-level Moog. At about $800, it’s the most affordable Moog synth and it offers a solid package and a lot of bang for the buck.

different universe. One warm voice versus 4 harsh and aggressive voices. Wasn't happy with the phatty's built quality, tho. Wobbly cheap knobs and I caught myself several times checking if I pressed the buttons properly.
