The Moog Mother-32 Semi-Modular Synthesizer is a distinctive analogue instrument that adds raw analogue sound, sequencing and extensive interconnectivity to any electronic or modular ecosystem.
The first table top synth from Moog has been meticulously designed to provide enough creative tools to inspire music, unique sound and endless sonic exploration. This 100% analogue instrument features a one knob per-function interface, making things easy for those that don’t have vast synthesis knowledge.
The Mother-32 features a semi-modular design that requires no patching to get started, allowing you to start your journey through synthesis instantly. When you want to extend your synth complexity, an extensive 32-point patchbay unlocks truly expressive, unique and complex synthesis capabilities. The patchbay also provides access to a wealth of sounds and functionality including an assignable CV output jack, MIDI to CV conversion, external audio input, a second voltage-controlled mixer, sync, and multiple unit expandability.
A powerful 10-octave analogue oscillator with variable pulse width is one of the on-board sound sources, along with an analogue white noise generator. Blending the signals from each sound source via the voltage-controlled mixer makes for dynamic sound creation and manipulation. From the mixer, sound travels through a Moog Ladder Filter with selectable low pass and high pass filter types.
Mother-32’s comprehensive 32-step, voltage controlled sequencer makes musical creation and programming simple. Two sequencing styles are available, allowing each user to quickly create new musical ideas with ease and familiarity. A total of 64 patterns can be stored and recalled within Mother-32’s memory bank.
The Mother-32 is housed in a laser-etched, black aluminium enclosure that’s finished with traditional Moog wood sidepieces. When paired with either the 2 Tier or 3 Tier Rack Kits, you can mount multiple Mother-32 together for increased modularity and synthesis capabilities.
Mother-32 is an expandable analogue ecosystem that allows multiple units to easily be mounted and patched together for extended synthesis capabilities.
very nice build quality - MIDI in and VCA On (drone switch) are very nice features. Everything works, sounds great, looks pretty and it's got flashing lights.... what else could you possibly ask for!
Could buy 3 or 4 Behringer Craves for the money but I'm glad with my decision - it's the real thing and eurorack compatible.
Great sounding synth, has that classic Moog sound. The square wave sounds great with some pulse width adjustments. The sequencer has been a bit confusing to me sometimes but it’s just a matter of getting to know the different controls and button combinations. I can see myself enjoying this more and more once I become more familiar with it. Pairs great with the DFAM and my other synths. Looking forward to adding the subharmonicon next for some patching madness!
Moog on a budget, except there is nothing budget about this instrument. The sound that's coming out of this box is on a whole different level, the built quality is exceptional. The only problem is, if you buy the Mother 32 you surely will want to buy both the DFAM and the Subharmonicon. Beware !!
