Musicians patiently waiting for the arrival of the new Moog Matriarch synthesiser will be pleased to know that it is now available to purchase priced at $1,999. The Matriarch synthesiser may take its inspiration from retro Moog synths of the past, but the synthesiser is loaded with modern features that will take it into the future, says Moog. Connectivity on the synth include 5-pin MIDI In/Out/Thru as well as MIDI over USB for instant integration with your host computer. There are also two 1/4” TS jacks for line-level output and a 1/4” external audio input capable of taking signals from guitars, drum machines and more.
“Celebrate 15 years of Moogfest with the limited-edition Matriarch. This highly limited run of only 250 serialised units is almost gone, but there’s still some left if you hurry. What better way to commemorate Moog’s iconic music, art and technology festival than with this special version of their latest synth, complete with a Moogfest .”
