Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Mo’Phatt, 64-Voice Urban Dance
Module. Mo-Phatt takes over where E-MU’s legendary Planet Phatt left off
with 32 MB of fresh new sounds and lighting fast response time. Mo’Phatt
was designed for performance , so make sure to try out all the controller
knobs on each preset.
Product Description
Mo’Phatt contains two user-upgradable sound SIMM sockets. Need more
sounds? New sounds can be added as easily as plugging in a new 16MB or
32MB SIMM module. Many sets are available now, with more coming all
the time, or you can create your own custom ROMs using E-MU’s E4 Ultra
samplers.
Mo’Phatt contains 512 user presets and can hold literally thousands of
factory presets. (ROM presets are automatically added when sound SIMMs are
installed. As an example, a 32 MB SIMM may contain up to 1024 ROM presets.)
Mo’Phatt’s Sound Navigator makes it easy to find the exact sound you
want. It’s powerful, yet simple to use.
Mo’Phatt contains E-MU’s new SuperBEATS Mode, which is a whole new
way to create dynamic, original music. With SuperBEATS, you trigger, latch
and unlatch synced loops and grooves from your keyboard. Simply select a
“bts:” preset and you’re ready to groove! Then use Mo’Phatt’s performance
controls to alter and mutate the rhythm or the sound itself.
Then there’s Mo’Phatt’s revolutionary Rhythmic Pattern Generator/Arpeggiator which can play up to 16 synchronized arpeggiator patterns at once
using a different sound for each! Patterns can be edited using pattern flow
commands such as: delay for 2 bars, play for 4 bars, hold for 2 beats and
repeat. You can program or download 100 user patterns in addition to the
200 factory patterns.
The extremely flexible yet easy to use 4-layer synthesizer voices make it
easy to build sounds of any kind. Layers can be switched or crossfaded
using key position, velocity, real-time controllers or any modulation source.
Mo’Phatt also contains 50 different 2nd to 12th order resonant & modeling
Mo’Phatt Operation Manual 1
Introduction
Overview
The optional Turbo
upgrade adds the following
features to your Mo’Phatt:
• 128 voice polyphony
• 4 submix analog outputs
• 32 MIDI channel operation
• 2 additional sound ROM slots
• S/PDIF stereo digital output
2
filters which are used to shape and modify the waveforms contained in 32
megabytes (MB) of ROM.
Sixty four modulation sources include three multistage envelopes and two
LFOs per layer, as well as full MIDI control over virtually every parameter.
The digital patch bay, with 24 cords per layer, (and 12 more cords per
preset) lets you connect modulation sources to 64 destinations in any
imaginable way. The patch bay contains a set of arithmetic modifiers,
letting you create complex synthesis models. Synth parameters as well as
arpeggiator and BEAT tempos can be controlled from Mo’Phatt’s internal
clock (or an external MIDI clock). Up to 8 LFOs and 12 envelopes can be
perfectly synchronized at different rates. This is an extremely powerful
synthesizer!
Four front panel real-time controllers give you control over 12 userselectable parameters. The real-time knobs can adjust multiple parameters
at once, allowing complex levels of control. For example, one knob can
simultaneously turn up filter cutoff, while detuning one sample, and
adjusting the release time of the volume envelope. Virtually every synth
parameter in Mo’Phatt is controllable using the real-time knobs or by any
internal or external control source.
Once you have created your preset, you can add richness to your sound
using Mo’Phatt’s 24-bit stereo effects. You can choose a different effects
setup for each preset from over 60 algorithms. Mo’Phatt’s effects section is
actually two separate effects processors with control over each wet/dry mix
level on four effects sends. Effects Processor “A” contains primarily
ambiance algorithms like reverb and delays, while effects processor “B”
contains primarily spectral algorithms such as chorus, flange, phase,
distortion, and delay. Effects can be linked to each preset or used globally to
further enhance your sound.
Overview
E-MU Systems
Other features include multiple solo, voice assignment and performance
modes for expressive control, 12 user-definable alternate tunings, and, of
course, an extensive MIDI implementation.
This is the Getting Started Manual for setting up and playing Mo’Phatt. The
first part of the manual describes how to unpack and setup the hardware.
The next chapters provide step-by-step instructions for the most common
and widely used features of Mo’Phatt. This section also defines each of the
parameters and provides information on how to use them.
The complete operation manual is provided to you in pdf format on
CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains pdf files for both Mac and PC as well as
the complete MIDI SysEx specification and a software downloading tool
which allows you to retrieve the latest software and new features from the
world wide web.
Important Safety Instructions
Use in countries other than the U.S.A. may require the use of a different
line cord or attachment plug, or both. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not expose this
product to rain or moisture. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside the unit.
Grounding Instructions
Danger!
Caution!
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing
the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment’s grounding conductor can result in
the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
If your Mo’Phatt (Model Number 9111) is rack mounted, you must use a
standard 19 inch open frame rack. Screw-on rack mount ears are provided
for this purpose.

Mo’Phatt is controlled by MIDI messages received at the MIDI In jack.
Normally you will connect MIDI Out of a controller such as a MIDI
keyboard to Mo’Phatt’s MIDI In jack. Be sure to connect a Footswitch and/

MIDI controllers.
Outputs
In order to reproduce Mo’Phatt’s wide dynamic range and frequency
response, use a high quality amplification and speaker system such as a
keyboard amplifier or home stereo system. A stereo setup is highly desirable
because of the added realism of stereophonic sound. Headphones can be
used if an amplifier and speaker system is not available. Plug stereo
headphones into the headphone jack on the left side of the front panel.

Playing Demo Sequences
This section presents step-by-step instructions for the most fundamental
operations to get you up and making sounds quickly.
Mo’Phatt has several factory demonstration sequences that let you hear
what this incredible machine can do. The actual number of demo
sequences depends on which ROM sounds sets are installed. You can play
these demo sequences by accessing the Demo Sequence page.

button to Exit the demo sequence mode.
Auditioning Presets The front panel audition button allows you to hear any preset in Mo’Phatt
without even hooking up a MIDI keyboard! When the Audition button is
pressed, the LED next to the button will illuminate and a short
“Riff” (programmed as part of the preset) will play. The Riff is latched on
and plays continuously until the button is pressed again. Presets can be
changed while Audition is latched on.
The top line of the display changes to show the MIDI Bank Select controller
values needed to select the preset being auditioned. This is an extremely
handy feature when sequencing.

numbers advance much faster (more than one number per click).
3. Play the keyboard (or press the Audition button) and listen to the
sounds made by your Mo’Phatt!
4. TURN THE FOUR KNOBS on the front panel and note how they

Exploring the Master Arpeggiator
Mo’Phatt’s multi-channel Pattern Generator/Arpeggiator is one of the
greatest features ever put in a synth. Let’s explore the Master Arpeggiator.
To Arpeggiate a Single Preset:
1. Select a preset. Note that the factory presets all have prefixes which
describe the type of sound. For this investigation it might be best to
choose a preset with the prefix “arp,” for arpeggiator. These presets are
optimized for use with the arpeggiator.
2. Set the Arp parameter in the main screen to “M” for Master
Arpeggiator.
