Please read these instructions carefully, and follow them in order from start to finish.
This firmware update assumes your Phatty is already running firmware v3.0 or higher.
If you are using an older OS, you will first need to update from v2 to v3, which is a separate
procedure. See http://www.moogmusic.com/products/phattys/little-phatty-stage-ii#downloads-tab
for the v2-to-v3 update, if needed.

**IMPORTANT**
If you are using an external MIDI interface for your computer, make sure it is up to date with the
latest device drivers before using it to send this firmware update. You can usually find up-to-date
drivers on the device manufacturer’s website.
1. Start with the power switched off. Press and hold the MASTER button; while holding down
MASTER, switch on the power. On the Phatty LCD screen you should see the message “Update
Firmware? PRESET=Yes”.
2. Press the PRESET button to continue. This will erase the previous firmware. The LCD will
prompt “Please Send Firmware” to indicate the unit is ready to receive new firmware.
3. Connect MIDI from your computer to the Little Phatty. If your LP has a USB port, connect
USB from your computer to the LP. If no USB, connect the MIDI OUT from your computer MIDI
interface to the MIDI IN port on the Little Phatty.
4. On your computer, launch the "PhattyLoader" application. This will open the Phatty Firmware
Updater. If you don’t have the PhattyLoader app, see section C below for a link.
5. Go to the Device menu, and select your MIDI output device. This will be Little Phatty or USB
Audio Device if using USB direct to the Phatty; otherwise you should select the MIDI output
device which is connected to your Little Phatty's MIDI IN port.
6. Select the File menu and choose Open (ctrl+O). Select the firmware file
“StageSystem_v3_21_691.hex” and click the Open button.
**IMPORTANT**
After you have loaded the new operating system to the Little Phatty successfully,
you must turn off the power to the Little Phatty and turn it on again before MIDI will work properly.
Once you cycle the power in this way, your LP firmware update is complete.
- LOCAL CONTROL: OFF, ON, "noKB". The new noKB setting turns off local control for the keys
only, while the knobs still affect the sound.
- ARP SETUP: SYNC LOCK (Off, On). New SYNC LOCK parameter keeps the arpeggiator phase
constant from the time the arpeggiator is started, instead of resetting the timing on new notes.
Sync Lock OFF gives the old behavior. Can also set by CC87 (0-63=off, 64-127=on).
- POLY mode: Multiple improvements and bug fixes to Poly mode. Fixed several ways that
different units could get out of sync, and added a new voice-stealing behavior: When you release
a note, the system looks for any keys that are still held whose voice has been stolen by a
subsequent note, and re-plays the most recent stolen note. In practice, this helps prevent notes
from seeming "dropped" when polyphony is momentarily exceeded (such as when playing legato
phrases).
- MIDI CC filtering bug is fixed: a few panel controls (Sync, osc octaves, mod source/dest) would
still send MIDI even when MIDI CC filtering should have blocked them from sending.
- SYSTEM UTILITIES: PRESET MWHL (Mod Wheel amount saved with presets): added to Little
Phatty. Slim Phatty already had this, but LP didn't until now.
- Turning off the arpeggiator while still holding a note: the held note continues to play now, instead
of being silenced when the arp is turned off.
V3.21: Bugfix update. Note Calibration would not tune all octaves if Local Control was off; also
removed Local Control: “noKB” option from the Slim Phatty (which has no keyboard).
C -- TROUBLESHOOTING:
If you get a Checksum Error during the PhattyLoader update process, do the following:
Turn off the LP and turn it back on again.
If it doesn’t work, perhaps try a different computer, a different MIDI interface, or re-install the latest
drivers for the MIDI interface. It is recommended not to use a Digidesign Digi-002 to send the
firmware update, due to a hardware bug in the Digi-002 which causes errors when sending large
MIDI SysEx files.
