Moog Matriarch 4-Note Paraphonic Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer (Multicolored)

The Moog Matriarch (model MOD‑MATR‑01) is a semi‑modular, 4‑note paraphonic analog synthesizer that offers a huge palette of sounds — from classic analog warmth and fat basses to ethereal, evolving textures. It blends the character and circuitry inspired by vintage analog synths with modern flexibility: you can play it right out of the box with its full keyboard, or use it as a modular sound engine for deep sound‑design experimentation.

Because it’s semi‑modular and patchable, you get both straightforward, playable presets and the open-ended creative potential of modular synthesis. Whether you’re writing tracks, performing live, or designing custom patches, the Matriarch gives you a powerful, hands‑on platform.

 Key Features & Capabilities

• 49‑note full‑size keyboard — velocity‑sensitive with aftertouch, so you can play expressive, dynamic lines or chords.

• Paraphonic – up to 4‑note polyphony — play in mono, duo, or 4‑note paraphonic modes for rich chords or layered monophonic leads/basses.

• 4 analog oscillators (VCOs) — each with selectable waveforms, and hard‑sync capability on oscillators 2–4 for classic synth textures.

• Stereo analog ladder filters — dual filters offering Low‑Pass/High‑Pass and flexible routing (parallel, stereo, or series) for sculpting your tone.

• Dual analog ADSR envelopes & dual VCAs — gives you dynamic control over amplitude and filter modulation.

• Multiple modulation options:

  • Full‑range analog LFO with 6 waveform shapes

  • Additional simple LFO for modulating delay, filter, VCA, etc.

  • 3 bipolar voltage‑controlled attenuators with ring‑mod capabilities

  • 2 × 4 parallel‑wired unbuffered patch multiples — great for complex modular patching and layering.

• 90 patch points (3.5 mm jacks) — connect internal modules or external gear (CV, audio, clock, etc.) for full Eurorack‑style modular flexibility.

• Stereo analog delay — up to ~700 ms, MIDI‑syncable, ping/pong or stereo repeats for lush effects and atmospheric depth.

• Integrated 256‑step sequencer — up to 4 notes per step, 12 patterns storage; can be decoupled to sequence external synths or modules.

• Arpeggiator — with selectable modes (forward, backward, random, order) for instant rhythmic variation and performance.

• Extensive I/O connectivity: audio in, stereo outs, Eurorack‑level outputs, MIDI In/Out/Thru + USB, CV/gate, sustain/expression pedal inputs — making it a versatile hub for hybrid digital–analog setups.

• 100% analog signal path — for that classic Moog warmth, depth, and character that’s hard to replicate digitally.
