Moog Matriarch

CurrentReleased 2019

Four-note paraphonic semi-modular keyboard with four VCOs, a stereo pair of ladder filters and a stereo analogue delay, playable without a single cable but with 90 patch points when you want them. The 49 full-size keys and 256-step sequencer make it a complete performance instrument for anyone after a big Moog that doubles as the centre of a modular rig.
