Journey across new sonic landscapes.
The Moog Matriarch Paraphonic Analog Synth is the culmination of decades of research, development, and manufacturing. Hand built in the depths of North Carolina, the Moog Matriarch is loaded with treats and tricks - destined to take you across the cusp of space into new frontiers.
Both parts vibrant and bright yet delightfully warm. This synthesizer is simple to use and features nothing that will stand in the way of your exploratory sound design.
A paraphonic synth, the Matriarch is patchable via 90 points, with a built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, stereo Ladder Filters, and stereo Analog Delay. The Moog Matriarch is abundant with soaring leads, deep textures, and rumbling bass sounds
Classic design that looks to the future
Based on the original Bob Moog designs, the Matriarch is filled old school vibes yet evokes a very forward facing outlook.
The assortment of modules are classic Moog and it features a 100 analog signal path. Spanning a huge range of sound making and modulating circuits anything is possible. From huge bass lines to plucks and pads. The entire language of analog vocabulary can be reached with this exceptional synthesizer. From its ladder filters, the envelope generators, and incredible stereo analog delays. Nothing is out of reach.
Semi modular exploration
At its core, the Matriarch is a semi-modular synthesizer. This means there is an array of patch points. Great for modulating parameters within the synth's circuitry.
The 90 points are easily accessible via patch cables - which have been kindly included with the Matriarch - giving you a lot of ways to play with and manipulate sounds. Although patching is incredibly powerful, it isn't necessary. It gives you a much deeper level of control but the Matriarch can be used without having to patch anything.
The Matriarch is ready for stage and studio and is a hugely beneficial addition to your arsenal of sound creators. In fact, it might just take centre stage.
