Description

Based on the vintage circuitry of classic Moog synthesizer modules, Matriarch is a catalyst for creative ideas and a medium for multidimensional expression.

THE PINNACLE OF MOOG’S SEMI-MODULAR FAMILY
Moog Matriarch is a patchable 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer with a built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, stereo Ladder Filters, and stereo Analog Delay. Capable of creating rich evolving chord patterns immediately with “no patching required”, Matriarch invites access to an abundance of inspiring textures, new sounds, and an endless supply of happy accidents through its 90 modular patch points. Based on the vintage circuitry of classic Moog synthesizer modules, Matriarch is a catalyst for creative ideas and a medium for multidimensional expression.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
The pinnacle of Moog’s semi-modular family of synthesizers, Matriarch’s patchable architecture and classic Moog circuits reward open exploration with endless sonic possibilities and unparalleled analog sound. Matriarch’s 4 analog VCOs can be split into 4 notes of paraphony that can be sequenced, shifted, and stored with the instrument’s intuitive 256 step sequencer, or stacked in unison to create a massive 4 oscillator mono synth.

PURE ANALOG SYNTH
With a deep assortment of synthesis modules based on Bob Moog’s original circuit designs, Matriarch’s 100% analog signal path spans a dynamic sonic vocabulary – from overdriven monophonic bass to gently evolving paraphonic plucks that cycle through waveshapes into a wash of infinite delay trails. Coupling the power of vintage-designed stereo ladder filters, dual Envelope Generators, stereo Analog Delays, and stereo VCAs, Matriarch delivers a multi-dimensional sound that empowers the sonic exploration of both space and time.

Obviously this Moog shakes up traditions a bit and that's good. Big brother of the Grandmother, it impresses with its colorful layout that clearly states its conceptual modularity. Like in a cockpit, the zones and colors become a precious aid for newcomers to synthesis, and that's exactly Moog's target: to make an instrument that will evolve with the knowledge of its user. Under its totally charming vintage 60s look, the quality is there: metal everywhere except the hard plastic sides which are a happy reminder of those years: in short, it breathes solidity and one can only regret this curious ridiculous external power supply worthy of a Chinese accessory. The vintage spirit is not only in the sound, surprising, full, round and its look: here no memory, an old-school sequencer and white, gray, black cables for all fixed settings: you have been warned, the next American president is called Kennedy!

Legendary synthesizer, by a legendary company, that has revolutionized music several times in the past, and probably did it again with this equipment. The sound is superb, the manual is comprehensive and full of good ideas, the build quality is exceptional... It's a magnificent musical instrument, nothing to complain about!
