Sweetwater exclusive. Comes with the awesome CV out expansion. And truthfully, it looks awesome. They really should have made those end cheeks white instead of the normal grey. Orange and white would be so retro!

Yeah, I saw that online a few days ago. Just rekindles my lust for a LP. And I already have the Voyager. It looks awesome.

It's very striking in appearance. As if the LP wasn't already instantly recognizable enough

Released for sweetwater's 30th anniversary
most likely only 30 will be released (per a sweetwater rep on another board)

I think it came up in a thread a while ago. It would definitely stand out and the added CV options are nice. I like the color orange but I’m just not digging the look. I’m of the less is more philosophy in design and I actually like my LPs plain and monochromatic. I even prefer the rubber sides to the wood ones. The name is cool but this looks more Halloween than space odyssey to me.
Do it B3groover. I’ve had both and the LP may be basic in comparison but it just sounds better to me.

Re: Anyone else notice there'e a Little Phatty SOLAR edition?
Yep, I own both, and there is a great difference in the sound to me. The Phatty is a lot less clean sounding.
I really love that synth. It's funny, given that the Voyager has 1 knob per function and the Phatty only has 4, but I find the Phatty is much more of a performance synth. And this has something to do with the fact that when you save a patch, it save which active parameter you pressed last for each knob, and the position of it in the LED's around the knobs. It's really brilliant.
