Matriarch Moog
Synthesizer

Moog Matriarch, 4-voice paraphonic semi-modular analog synthesizer with built-in sequencer and arpeggiator. It features an expressive 49-key Fatar velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch, 4 analog VCOs with switchable waveform and hard sync (based on the Minimoog), and a dual analog filter with parallel - HP/LP, stereo - LP/LP, serial - HP/LP configuration based on the 904A module. The new master of modular synths is here!

The Moog Matriarch is a semi-modular analog synth that lets you create rich, innovative soundscapes with ease and without constraints. It features a 49-note Fatar keyboard, an integrated sequencer, an arpeggiator, an analog stereo delay, and 90 patch points, compatible with Mother-32, DFAM, and other Eurorack modules.

The Matriarch's semi-modular design is pre-wired internally to produce sounds without the need for patching everywhere, and is fully controllable via MIDI. Musicians, producers, and sound designers will rejoice in its abundance of inspiring textures, new sounds, and endless creative possibilities.

Each oscillator offers switchable waveforms that can be hard-synced per oscillator, while the dedicated full-range analog LFO can operate at audio frequencies and offers six waveforms to choose from. An additional single analog LFO is also provided to add modulation to delays, filters, and VCAs.

The dual analog filters offer a variety of modes including parallel (HP/LP), stereo (LP/LP), and series (HP/LP). In addition, the Moog Matriarch offers two analog ADSR envelope generators and two analog VCAs. There are also three bipolar voltage-controlled attenuators with ring modulation capability and 2 x 4 unbuffered mults wired in parallel for signal splitting.

The built-in sequencer offers twelve memory locations and each sequence can hold up to 256 steps with four notes per step. Additionally, the sequencer can be split out of the matrix to independently sequence your external hardware.

The arpeggiator offers switchable modes such as Order, Forward/Reverse, and Random. An external 1/4" audio input allows for processing guitars, drum machines, and more. via the Matriarch’s analog circuitry, while the 6.3mm stereo jack output and 3.5mm mini jack Eurorack outputs allow connections to a recorder or PA system, while also connecting to other Eurorack gear for additional processing. You’ll never run out of possibilities!

Le Matriarch est un synthétiseur monophonique semi-modulaire dédié à la recherche sonore. C'est une porte d'entrée au monde du modulaire. Il permet progressivement d'expérimenter les interactions possibles entre les différents modules de l'instrument. Pas de mémoire, une paraphonie 4 notes qui n'est pas de la polyphonie, des mini-jacks pour relier les modules entre eux... c'est un instrument qui offre un retour aux sources et sonorités des premiers synthétiseurs des années 70.
