Product information

General

Moog's Grandmother is a semi-modular analogue synthesizer with a built-in arpeggiator, sequencer and spring reverb tank. This unit goes back to Moog's modular roots and is ripe for experimentation. In fact, you might find the journey to finding the perfect sound just as enjoyable as actually finding it! The Grandmother even has a reconfigurable front panel giving you limitless possibilities, yet it's also suitable for beginners because no patching is required before you can play.

Grandmother of a Huge Family

Moog has taken inspiration from the iconic modular synths that Bob Moog designed during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The oscillators are based on the Minimoog and the mixer on the Moog CP3. Those who already own other equipment will be pleased to know that the Grandmother is compatible with gear like the Mother-32 and the DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother) as well as other modular Eurorack systems.

For Musicians of All Levels

The Grandmother has an audio input that allows you to use the analogue filter, spring reverb and other circuits with external sound sources. That means you can easily add vintage sounds and ambience to instruments like a guitars or drums or even your voice! The Moog Grandmother has MIDI connectors on board too for seamless integration into your existing setup in the studio or on the stage.

Moog Grandmother Dark Edition Semi-Modular Analogue Synthesizer

Waar moet ik beginnen. Het is een verslavende synth met talloze mogelijkheden. Heerlijke machtige sound en een filter waar je U tegen zegt. Door middel van de patch kabels, kan je de gekste geluiden produceren. Zoals je kan zien, zit er geen overdrive op de synth. Maar dit betekend niet dat het niet mogelijk is. Er zijn een aantal handige truucjes die je kan uitvoeren met de patchkabels. Ik zal er 2 verklappen.

1. Overdrive: als je de filter uitgang patcht met de noise ingang, kan je de noise signaal gebruiken als overdrive
2. 3e Osc: als je de kb out patcht met de mod rate in, en de wave out patcht met de noise in, kan je de noise signaal gebruiken als 3e oscillator.

Er is dus veel mogelijk met de moog Grandmother en ik kan er geen genoeg van krijgen!
