  • Reverb level (Channel)
  • Chorus (FX) (Channel)
  • Envelope Attack
  • Envelope Decay
  • Portamento/Sustain
  • Envelope Release
  • Pan
  • Volume
  • MIDI Channel 1-16

3. Phat.Boy™ enables you to build up a personalised sound library on any sequencer using the snapshot button.

4. Phat.Boy™ comes complete with power supply, dample disk of Twiddly Bits, and owners manual.

5. Phat Boy™ dimensions. 22 x 11 x 5 cms.

6. Phat Boy v2 software version (now included) addes a physical "off" switch and three new operating modes (see below) for compatibility with even more products!
