Matriarch Dark is a fresh addition to Moog's popular line of semi-modular keyboard synthesizers. Matriarch Dark presents the same great features, sounds, and specs as the original colourful Matriarch, now offered in a classic all-black colour scheme that invokes the timeless look of Moog's all-black control panels. 

Moog Matriarch is a patchable 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer with a built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, stereo Ladder Filters, and stereo Analog Delay. Create rich evolving chord patterns immediately with "no patching required", then tap into an abundance of inspiring textures, new sounds, and an endless supply of happy accidents through Matriarch's 90 modular patch points. Based on the vintage circuitry of classic Moog synthesizer modules, Matriarch is a catalyst for creative ideas and a medium for multi dimensional expression.

Key Features
• Mono, duo, and 4-note paraphonic playability
• Stereo analog delay w/ up to 700ms of MIDI sync-able stereo or ping/pong style repeats
• 256 step sequencer w/ up to 4 notes per step and 12 stored patterns. (Can bedecoupled from Matriarch to independently sequence external gear)
• Arpeggiator with selectable modes (Order, Forward/Backward, Random)
• Semi-modular analog synthesizer - no patching required
• 90 modular patch points for endless exploration
• Expressive 49-note Fatar keyboard w/ patchable velocity and aftertouch
• 4 analog oscillators w/ selectable waveshape and hard sync per-oscillator
• Full-range analog LFO with 6 selectable waveshapes
• Dual analog filters with parallel (HP/LP), stereo (LP/LP), and series (HP/LP) modes available
• Dual analog ADSR envelopes
• Dual analog VCAs
• 3x bipolar voltage controlled attenuators with ring mod capability
• 2x4 parallel wired unbuffered mults
• Additional simple analog LFO useful for adding modulation to delay, filters and VCAs
• 1/4" external audio input for processing guitars, drum machines, and more through Matriarc's analog circuits
• Stereo 1/4" and 3.5mm Eurorack level audio outputs
