90 Modular Patch Points

90 modular patch points allow for endless sound shaping possibilities, from creating complex sound connections to completely disruptive ones. This patchable, four-voice paraphonic analog synthesizer features a built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, stereo ladder filter, and stereo analog delay. Its semi-modular design allows for sound creation without patching. Experience rich, dynamic chord patterns, a variety of beautiful textures, never-before-heard new sounds, and endless possibilities for delightful serendipity and discovery with Matriarch's 90 modular patch points. Based on the circuitry of classic vintage Moog synthesizer modules, Matriarch is a fountainhead of creative ideas and enables multidimensional sonic expression. Matriarch is the pinnacle of Moog's semi-modular synthesizer family, a synthesizer built for the imagination. Matriarch's patchable architecture, vintage Moog circuitry, and unparalleled analog sound offer open and deep sound creation possibilities. While Matriarch's semi-modular design requires no patching at all, the included 3.5mm patch cables provide easy access to the 90 modular patch points across the panel. Matriarch is an incredibly powerful electronic instrument that's both flexible and easy to use, from a performance keyboard on stage to a fully modular analog synthesizer for your studio setup.

Sequencer

Matriarch's intuitive 256-step sequencer lets you easily create rich harmonic shapes by combining up to four paraphonic voices, or stack the analog VCOs to perform as a massive four-oscillator mono synth.

Full Analog Sound

With a rich set of synthesis modules based on Bob Moog's original circuit designs, Matriarch's 100% analog signal path delivers a dynamic and versatile sound. Combining the power of vintage stereo ladder filters, dual envelope generators, stereo analog delay, and stereo VCAs, Matriarch delivers a multidimensional sound that encourages sonic explorations that manipulate space and time.

Expand with Ideas

In addition to its standalone functionality, Matriarch is an ideal processor for external sound sources and a powerful keyboard front end for expanding and orchestrating your DFAM, Mother-32, Grandmother, or Eurorack modular systems.
