For sale: E-MU Systems Mo' Phatt 64-voice rack-mount synthesizer in excellent condition for its age. These units are great for hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music production and are surprisingly powerful despite being from an earlier era. The Mo' Phatt is capable of 64-voice polyphony, 16-part multitimbral operation, four-layer voices, Z-plane filters, and an unusually deep set of rhythmic performance tools.
Details below:
We installed a new encoder to ensure this unit functions perfectly well into the future.
We also installed a new, modern power supply to ensure trouble-free operation (see photo 14).
The installed Phatt ROM passes diagnostics.
This unit is in good shape overall, but not perfect. There are a number of cosmetic blemishes commensurate with its age (see photos 15-17). Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition.
Sale includes the E-MU Systems Mo' Phatt rack module, installed Phatt ROM, rack ears, power cable, and free shipping.
