The best thing about "what had happened was" are these crazy stories with absolutely no connection to the gear at first sight you come up every week...and every week it gets more ridiculous...love it!!!! And I have a feeling everyone does. Esp. yourself! As always: Greets from Germany!

I remember using this in school. Everything you said was fact. It was one of the most used sounds in the studio. It had great sounds.

This makes my KZfaq subscription worth it, it’s funny educational deep historical, cultural - and so well produced. I love this so much thank you!!

Absolutely loved this video and have to second everything said about this machine and other E-MU modules. Back in the 90s in NY, if this was not in the studio, it just wasn't it. When I got to connect one of these to my Akai MPC2000, it was another world. I'm glad I have it today including the Mo' Phatt, Proteus 2000, Orbit and Carnaval. They look nice in a rack with all the colors. I'm looking to collect their whole line up. Just became a sub. 👍👍👍👍👍

I USE TO LOVE THIS UNIT. FIRST GEAR I EVER HAD, HAD THE MO PHAT TOO

I had this and my buddy had the Planet Dance. Loved this thing. We sequenced everything using the Roland MC 50. Made a lot of bangers with this thing back in the day. I think my buddy still has both.

Bought one of these last year Sampled it into my mpc and sold it to a guy who had the the whole collection except this one for a $50 profit FTW

Damn I saw Question mark and the Mysterians live in the 90's. They definitely played 96 tears, a couple times that night. Also the sample pack is great, plugged it into the mpc and having fun! Great work as always, long live Planet Phatt.

Yo I love this channel yo. Your energy is contagious. Remind me of one my uncles. Peace from Seattle

I still have and still use this machine. There are so many usable instruments in this box.

What a great historical education of the Planet Phatt unit! 🥰❤💯🏆🏅

Thanks this was a flashback. I remember these and other modules from E-MU coming in at the music store I worked at. For the time these were amazing.

I had one of these like 17 years ago. I gave it back to my friend. I literally just messaged him right now and asked him if he still has it. I want to use it again. It had so many nice sounds

Your enthusiasm is top 🔝 I love this channel … never disappointed

First ever synth was an EMU proteus 1 but it was built into a Turtle Beach sound card so it literally was like running A VST.... Pain in the arse to program though.

ngl every video is a special treat. Thanks for another great video 😎 👍

I love the sounds from that unit. Especially the demos. 🎶

The Bad Boy records and So So Def synth😂😂😂😂still dope till this day

I had one of these, incredible sounds and them pole filters! Man they were epic!

Another mythological contraption on list for when you are scanning a pawn shop's inventory for those pegasus type units. Legend!

I found your videos last week and watched just about every single one of em. This is now one of my favorite KZfaq channels. I saw u posted a new video had to stop setting up my new studio and watch this 🔥 also my homie had a planet phatt he’s not my homie no more tho

This the one the streets been waiting for!

I have the Planet Phatt and Orbit sounds on CD Rom as part of the E-MU sample library. Very cool sounds indeed.

Love your videos man.

Yesss!!!!!!!! I went nuts when I saw this on eBay in 2003 for $80 then messed around recently and got the MP7 hahahahaha same stuff. Man I love your videos. Sidenote I'm still the same. I don't like to share with other producers what tools I use especially when that is the first question they ask. Always been that way to me. Producer CODE like telling where you got your samples

This and my Triton!! It's on and cracking..!!

The cool thing is, even if some of the sounds are old and cheesy sounding. You can easily throw them into a sampler or DAW, and turn them into cool new sounds.

I remember looking through Sam Ash catalogues in the 90s and seeing all these cool E-mu rack units. Had no idea what they did but I wanted them lol.

Amazing breakdown as per usual

bro love your stuff

I was aware of this when it came out and later the Mo Phatt. Never really used it. I DID own the Proteus 2000 and got the Techno board for it based on the Xtreme Lead

Yesssssss 💯 This was the Shit back in the days !!!

had the planet phatt love it so much i had to have the mo phatt to. i still use them from time to time.

I like such a videos! Nice!

YESSSSS prime era E-Mu shit is almost guaranteed to slap

Great vid!

You reminded me of my old REPEATER by ELECTRIX (12/16 BIT LOOPER) A little glitchy but had midi ,1998-2002 approx

Love your ? And the mysterians reference I love 96 tears! What i find amazing is that Dave Rassum and Emu created so many awesome and game changing products

Back when this came out, everyone wanted one! Will our 2022 plugins be working in 20+ years?!

Damn this makes me wanna turn mine on, when I was like 17 the church keyboardist walked out of Bible study, drive home and came back with this rack and gave it to me....he left church to gift me with this and I used the hell out of it.

I have mad 70's stories!!!

Mo Phatt was dope.

Bruh freeze at 9:55 🤣🤣🤣🤣 those are the exact racks at our studio bruh!

A Tribe Called Quest "Phony Rappers" and many bass lines from the ummah era. Jamie Foxx Show Theme Song (especially the 98 version "simple things are all I neeeeed")

The 70-s.....yeeesss.That was "aaaaalll about party".Even in the eastern block.

Speaking of: True Story: Back in the 90ies when I studied Music/Audio a college mate of mine was working at a large music store in cologne and somehow got hands on empty rejects of all the emu-Boards (cases thad had a paintigjob error or whatever.) He bought some chrismas lights, triggered them via an old Comodore C-64 (he was THAT Geek), Then he screwed 15 of the dummy racks (Protheus, Mophat, Lead...I think of each model one) into a rack programmed with christmas lights, rolled the whole thing on the stage and made, along with his other synths, for more Blingbling Audiogasms at the audience as Depeche Mode , Kraftwerk and Jarre together., His whole "show" of course came from a DAT. And, some day he forgot to Duct-tape the remote-control-receiver on his Player.....and his Ex brought the usual Sony RC to one of his gigs....and she was pissed...but thats another story... ;-)

I have one. Nice unit.

This dude low key funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣

Proteus is the GOAT, their drum kits hit harder then half the drum samples I find online, btw did you know about the software port of proteus rack samplers? I have it on my windows partition..it's great but as a predominantly Mac user I'm stuck with the slightly less versatile Kontakt version

Even better than Planet Phatt was the Planet Erff.. I have been looking for one of those used for ages and ages!

I owned the Emu Mo Phatt which was before the Planet Phatt.Same purple shell.

Oh damn, got some Last Dragon reference ha! I love that movie 😂 As for planet phat um, well it's purple.. Lol

i have a question, so for years (decades even) ive been trying to find out where they got the snare drum sound for Whodini's track "funky beat". it was used on a few tracks back then, i think steinski & mass media used it on "we'll be right back". ive read somewhere it might have been an after market sound chip for the linn drum. any ideas Dyreck?

? Mark & the Mysterions! Kick ass band. 96 Tears is their standout cut but their other songs bang too.

Secret sauce to the MPC

The Planet Phatt is so good. It’s a bit ridiculous that it has a bass patch called Fingerus and a vox patch called Cumming. But it’s amazing that a legit company called it Planet Phatt and put it in a neon purple metal box with a lightning bolt across the middle. I like to think it represents a pair of spandex booty shorts starting to rip because they can’t contain all that ass. The only other rack synth this awesome is the chrome XV-5050 with the orange screen and green backlit buttons.

Bro this was the shiznit!

Off the strength of the Planet Phatt I ran out and bought the Mo’ Phatt when it came out. It was cool but I wasn’t that impressed with that one.

omg I forgot about that with the fortune cookies in chinese food, it was unacceptable to bring chinese food for someone and it not have the fortune cookie. As u said, you'd have to go back to the store. The Planet Phatt...man I've wanted one of these so long. They've become expensive. I downloaded the samples from the company that bought their sound library - but they're are just static soundfonts based on samples. Half of me wanted somehing that would sound hip-hop so that I'd def sound authentically hip-hop, but the other half of me couldn't bear to buy something so on-the-nose wannabe hip-hop. I've seen some great demos of the Planet Phatt but I have yet to hear anything cool from the sucsessor Mo Phatt. I hated the Proteus 2000 sounds, I got the PX-7 Command Station with the Protean Drum set - it was cool and I was so stupid and sold it because it was expensive. Expensive to get them now. btw this is my Proteus /1 G-Chip (or H-Chip?) demo kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8h-lpegqb_cY2g.html

OMG!,..... :) ... 15 years ago i had ALL of the E-MU Soundmodules aka. ROMpler´s. :( i doughnut sold them All..... i am sad till today,,,,,

Someone had gave me one of those lol I didn’t know what it was and don’t know how to use it!!! It’s just up collecting dust.

Prices bout too sky rocket 😂😂😂☝🏽

I had the yellow one

Always wished I had that module. Now I really wish I'd had that module. Haha...

My friend had one of these and a few other rack mount pieces. I used to go over his house and use his mpc and didnt really pay attention to anything else. One day I went over and noticed a few of his rack mount stuff was gone. I asked him what happened. After some probing he finally admitted he fell asleep while a "friend" was hanging out and that "friend" walked out with his equipment. I thought he was joking but he wasn't. I think I would have lied and said I sold it. I laughed and smh...They didn't take the mpc so I quickly forgot about it and booted it up 😂

I actually cannot believe that's how E-MU started

lol, synth heads were also using phat back then to describe something like a thick Moog bass.

Bro. Why dont you make another modern classic episode like you did with the Akai Force, but with the Hydrasynth? Also, i would like to see a video on the Waldorf Blofeld 🤤. 16 part multitimbral, complex mod matrix routing, multi midi channel, dual effect, stereo, complex synthesis powerhorse from 2005 ✨

Does my emu PK-6 keyboard have the same chips?

You gotta hit up the Yamaha SU700 at some point

Do one on the lord tr-rack

Lmao! “I met them on Reddit” 😂 😂😂🤣🤣😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚭

Man I was thinking to buy that but I Do have so many VST Plugins.

Man I would love for you to do my Eulogy if Morgan Freeman is not around to do it. Lol

Do the Casio SK 1

I saw that photo that came from Armen's. Any NYC producer knows what Armen's shop look like. He gave me a sweet deal on a brand new MPC X 3 years ago.

Do the Roland mt 32

If you see a emu product on eBay.. Buy it..Its all turning Vintage.. Slowly it is all going up. Look at the Sp1200 and ASR 10

Just like that - my gear lust has spiked

Is it possible to hook up planet phat to a modern set up and if so how??

Planet phat WAS phat lol my first solo album in 98 was all planet phat midi’d to my xl2000, little djx sprinkled in too🤫🤣

I tried so hard to watch this video but I couldn’t endure the voice

As a kid i always wondered why it was spelled Planet Phat : T. I read alot of comic books and that colon being there drove me insane. Its probably just some dots tho lmao

Saw a new vid pop up this morning and now it's gone you're not holding out on us are you!

Ebay price of Planet Phatt (2022): $400

Bruhhh had one of these gems, kinda regret trading for a kawai k1r

I still have mine

It's funny hearing how people hate protools now and now everyone is pretty much going back to this retro gear, ohh how things change you never know man.😂😂

DJ Premier shout out the planet phatt in scratch for the boom instumental

you should host the Oscars.. hahaha

What was the difference between this and the Mo Phat.. both made by E-Mu

Man i bought one of these from a crackhead for 28 dollars shit only good for 2 to 3 sounds plus Just Blaze used the sounds up already

I demanded my Fortune cookie cause sometimes we got a thought provoking winner except the one that read, YOU WILL RECEIVE A FORTUNE COOKIE🎉

Aye this video is PHATT 😂

I have a space for 1 rack. MOPHATT or Planetphatt?

Back when your home boy would steal your gear and bring it back like nothing happened. LOL

i have the vst plugins

Cheating with Planet Phatt should be illegal! 😂

Thout about buying this for 66$ but i'm probably too gready.

Who’s the master?…….Show Nuff!…….I can’t hear you!
