Moog - 'Matriarch Dark'

moog's flagship semi-modular synth!
Now in all black!New from Moog, comes the ‘Matriarch Dark’, a new colour variant for the ground-breaking Moog ‘Matriarch’. Matriarch Dark showcases the same features, sounds and specs which synth enthusiasts have come to know and love from the original inception, but now decorated in a stunning all-black aesthetic which invokes the iconic look of Moog’s classic modular control panels.
‘Matriarch Dark’ is a fully analogue synthesizer which places a heavy emphasis on imagination and creativity. Sitting atop the throne of Moog’s similar modular family of synthesizers, ‘Matriarch Dark’ patchable architecture and classic Moog circuits reward open exploration with limitless sonic possibilities and unmatched analogue sound.
Effortlessly curate rich harmonic shapes with up to 4 notes of paraphony which is able to be sequenced, shifted and stored with Matriarch’s intuitive 256 step sequencer, or stack the analogue VCOs to play on a massive 4 oscillator mono synth! Moog’s Matriarch Dark rewards open creativity and a limitless imagination!

'A Dynamic Sonic Vocabulary'

'empowering multi-dimensional sound'With a deep assortment of synthesis modules based on Bob Moog’s original circuit designs,
Matriarch’s 100% analogue 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 Analogue Delays, and stereo VCAs, Matriarch delivers a
multi-dimensional sound that empowers the sonic exploration of space and time
90 Modular Patch Points

3.5mm patch cables includedThough Matriarch’s semi-modular design requires absolutely no patching, 90 modular patch
points 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 analogue 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.
