About Moog Matriarch

An exceptional addition to Moog's renowned semi-modular family, the Matriarch 49-Key 4-Note Paraphonic Analog Synthesizer is a versatile and powerful instrument designed for musicians and sound designers seeking to explore the vast realms of analog sound. This patchable synthesizer features a built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, stereo ladder filters, and stereo analog delay, making it a comprehensive tool for creating rich, evolving chord patterns and intricate soundscapes.

The Matriarch's paraphonic capabilities allow for playability in mono, duo, and 4-note modes, offering a dynamic range of harmonic possibilities. Its intuitive 256-step sequencer enables seamless sequencing, saving, and shifting of musical ideas, while the ability to stack analog VCOs transforms it into a formidable 4-oscillator mono synth. With 90 modular patch points, users can delve into an expansive sonic universe, crafting and manipulating sounds with ease.

Inspired by the vintage circuitry of classic Moog synthesizer modules, the Matriarch delivers a 100% analog signal path that captures the essence of Moog's legendary sound. From overdriven monophonic bass lines to gently evolving paraphonic plucks, the Matriarch's sound palette is both diverse and expressive. The inclusion of stereo analog delay offers classic and ping-pong style repeats, creating lush, infinite delay trails that enhance any composition.

Equipped with dual envelope generators, stereo VCAs, and vintage stereo ladder filters, the Matriarch empowers users to explore multidimensional soundscapes, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration. Its semi-modular design requires no patching, yet the 90 modular patch points are readily accessible with the included 3.5mm patch cables, allowing for endless experimentation.

Ideal for both stage and studio settings, the Matriarch seamlessly transitions from a performance keyboard to a fully modular analog synthesizer. It also serves as a powerful processor for external sound sources and an excellent keyboard front-end for expanding systems like the DFAM, Mother-32, Grandmother, or Eurorack modular setups.

The Matriarch: Place / Time / Memory project showcases the synthesizer's versatility through the unique sonic perspectives of artists like Lisa Bella Donna, Max Ravitz (Patricia), Sarah Schachner, and Paris Strother of We Are KING. Their explorations highlight the interconnectedness of place, time, and memory, demonstrating the Matriarch's ability to inspire creativity and leave lasting impressions through sound.
