The Moog Matriarch Paraphonic Analog Synth represents the culmination of extensive research, development, and craftsmanship spanning decades. Crafted by hand in the heart of North Carolina, this synth is brimming with captivating features and innovations, poised to transport you beyond the boundaries of space into uncharted territories.

Radiant and warm, it offers both vibrancy and depth, ensuring a seamless experience in sound exploration. With its user-friendly interface, the Matriarch facilitates effortless navigation through intricate soundscapes, eliminating any hindrance to your creative journey.

As a paraphonic synthesizer, the Matriarch boasts 90 patchable points, accompanied by a built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, stereo Ladder Filters, and stereo Analog Delay, promising an abundance of dynamic leads, immersive textures, and powerful bass tones.

Unlocking boundless creativity lies at the heart of the Matriarch's design philosophy, emphasizing the pivotal role of imagination in sculpting sonic landscapes. Its patchable architecture offers boundless opportunities for experimentation, akin to a modular synth, seamlessly integrating with existing setups for seamless synergy.

The Matriarch's four-note paraphony facilitates the creation of lush textures, with harmonic shapes easily stored on its intuitive 256-step sequencer. Whether crafting expansive leads or colossal mono sounds by stacking oscillators, the possibilities are limitless.

Drawing inspiration from Bob Moog's original designs, the Matriarch exudes classic charm while embracing a forward-thinking perspective. Featuring a 100% analog signal path and an array of classic Moog modules, it encompasses a diverse range of sound-making and modulating circuits, from thunderous bass lines to ethereal pads.

At its core, the Matriarch embodies the essence of semi-modular exploration, offering 90 easily accessible patch points for seamless parameter modulation within its circuitry. While patching provides extensive control, it remains optional, ensuring versatility without sacrificing functionality.

Whether gracing the stage or enriching studio sessions, the Matriarch stands as a indispensable tool for sound sculptors, poised to command attention and elevate your sonic endeavours to new heights
