- Stereo delay and filtering are among the highlights of the $1999 synth.
Moog has announced a new analogue synth called Matriarch.
Following in the footsteps of last year's Grandmother, the 49-key Matriarch expands the sound engine to a four-oscillator design capable of functioning in mono, duo and four-note paraphonic modes.
Although it contains 90 patch points for rerouting audio and modulation, Matriarch's semi-modular signal path is also prewired to work without patching. Stereo ladder filters and syncable delay, along with an in-built 256-step sequencer and arpeggiator, complement a pair of envelopes, two VCAs and two LFOs for sound-shaping.
It will be available to pre-order for $1999 from April 30th, although Moogfest attendees can see the new synth in the flesh this week.
Moog has been releasing numerous synths of late, such as the Sirin, Moog One and Grandmother.
