Moog Matriarch Patchable 4-note Paraphonic Analog Synthesizer
Matriarch is an analog synthesizer with an emphasis on imagination. 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.
Easily create rich harmonic shapes with up to 4 notes of paraphony that can be sequenced,shifted, and stored with Matriarch’s intuitive 256 step sequencer, or stack the analog VCOs to play on a massive 4 oscillator mono 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 awash 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 space and time .
Though Matriarch’s semi-modular design requires absolutely no patching, 90 modular patchpoints are easily accessible throughout the panel via the included 3.5mm patch cables. This powerful electronic instrument is a highly-versatile addition to any stage or studio that can effortlessly transform from a performance keyboard into a fully modular analog synthesizer at a moment’s notice.
In addition to its standalone function, Matriarch is also an ideal processor of external sound sources and a powerful keyboard front-end for expanding a DFAM, Mother-32, Grandmother,or Eurorack modular system.

What Fun! I have always been interested in Moog, but never owned one. So, when I noticed the low cost of this model, I simply HAD to have it. What fun!After a day or two of experimentation, I noticed that there were so many sounds on TV and in commercials and in movies that were likely made by Moog. That was pretty amazing, and I learned quite a bit about this type of synthesizer.Warning: I grew up loving to play Bach Two Part Inventions. Do not try on this machine, as it is…
Damaged during shipment I hate to give this a low score. The subsequent is amazing and I highly recommend it to others. But the way it was shipped was unacceptable and I may do a return/exchange. It arrived in a box that was smashed and torn open. The subsequent had styrofoam on the ends but was loose in the box. The box was bigger than the subsequent and styrofoam. The styrofoam was cracked and falling apart due to bouncing around in the box, taking impact. Some of the buttons on the sequencer were popping out and I…
