Moog Matriarch Dark Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer and Step Sequencer

The Moog Matriarch Dark is a new color variant for Moog Matriarch. Matriarch Dark presents the same great features, sounds, and specs as the original colorful Matriarch, now offered in an all-black color scheme that invokes the timeless look of Moog's classic modular control panels. Matriarch is a patchable 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer with a built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, stereo modulation effects and more. The Matriarch is the latest in Moog’s semi-modular design, and allows you to create rich textures, evolving chord patterns, and fresh new sounds with no patching required.

Step It Up

The Matriarch is capable of creating mono, duo, and 4-note paraphonic soundscapes using oscillators based on the Minimoog. With an array of synthesis modules inspired by Bob Moog’s original circuit designs, the sonic possibilities are limitless.

Create intricate melodies using a 256 step sequencer with up to four notes per step. Save up to 12 patterns for live playback on stage or in the studio. Create driving bass lines, dynamic melodies and evolving arpeggios with the versatile arpeggiator.

To Patch or Not to Patch

The Matriarch uses an intuitive semi-modular design to create complex synth sounds with no patching required. However, 90 modular patch points allow for endless experimentation. Quickly patch in additional modules through the easy-access panel via the included 3.5mm patch cables.

Deliver the perfect performance using an expressive 49-note Fatar keyboard, or use the patchable velocity and aftertouch to modulate your sound. Bring your melodies to life with the pitch bend, mod wheel and glide controls—or plug in your favorite expression and sustain pedals for authentic grand piano realism.

A Collection of Classic Modules

Create everything from overdriven monophonic bass to washed-out paraphonic plucks using four analog oscillators and a dedicated full-range analog LFO with six selectable waveshapes. Transform your sound using dual analog filters based on the 904A module, ADSR envelopes based on the 911 module, and VCAs based on the 902 module.

Morph static synth patches using three bipolar voltage controlled attenuators with ring mod capability. Or take your tracks to a whole new dimension with an infinite wash of delay trails using an analog delay based on the Moog MF-104M. Put it all together with the on-board mixer based on the classic CP3 module.
