Moog Grandmother

CurrentReleased 2018

Semi-modular analogue monosynth with 32 full-size keys, a ladder filter, a sequencer with arpeggiator and a real spring reverb tank. The colourful panel and 41 patch points make it a friendly way to learn patching while still sounding like a Moog. It suits beginners and anyone who wants a keyboard to anchor Mother-32 or DFAM.
