Grandmother Dark is a fresh addition to Moog's popular line of semi-modular keyboard synthesizers, offered in a classic all-black colour scheme invoking the timeless look of Moog's all-black control panels. The Grandmother is capable of creating anything from smooth bass to aggressive leads. New built-in functions, including Sequencer and Arpeggiator, give expanded control and free your hands to patch and tweak. In addition, a built-in analog reverb tank can be patched into, making Grandmother a great studio addition.
