today i could try a Little phatty in a store in Shibuya and i felt the knobs have little or no resistance... i mean they turn very easly not like the Virus knobs that feel more sturdy...
it could be because many thousand of peoples tried it lol but....
They didnt have the VOYAGER RME so i couldnt try but are the knobs better ?

The phatty sound was very good, just the knobs and buttons didnt feel very solid...

I found the buttons on my Little Phatty also loose...this is normal for the pushbuttons as they are made of a sort of rubber....but for the dial buttons they are quite loose in comparison with other synths.

Especially the value dial under the display on the Phatty feels very loose...i think that has to do with the fact that you can push it in to give it the "enter" function.

My Voyager has way different dial buttons which feel very sturdy and has better quality...not even comparable to the Virus buttons.

Dial better quality than Virus ?
I think i will try to get the Voyager Rack then, hoping sound is same or better, because i cant try it before . . . Some peoples say the Phatty is more punchy but its surprising...
