Moog Mother 32

Semi-modular monosynthesizer (2015)

Moog mother32

"Analog semi-modular monosynthesizer with 1 VCO structure and an internal sequencer- unit  can be euroracked"

Overview 

OVERVIEW High-end finish module with wood-sides and 11 shiny knobs, the mother features 32 frontal patch points for interaction with modulars or other CV synthesizers. It offers also a handy front Midi connection but sadly no display but some minimal leds for sequencer operation.
Many function (especially settings) must be done using tricky key combo (I hate that), especially hateful the ASSIGN patch point with up to 16 options. Basically the unit is prepatched and can be played directly, of course you can route, stop, modulate any parameters using the patch panel.

TERMINAL CONNECTORS 
- Rear jack audio (when euroracked we must use front VCA OUT)
- Rear 12 VDC input (switch PSU) 
- Rear kensinghton thief stuff (dunno)
- 32 patch points (IN and OUT depending on label color)
- Midi INPUT

Oscillator, filter, lfo and EG

OSCILLATOR  it's a monophonic synthesizer with a single oscillator VCO that can be mixed with a white noise generator (prepatched). It features 2 shapes (sawtooth and pulse with variable width) that can be mixed only using the patch chords. 

FILTER  famous Bob moog 4 poles filter resonant with LPF/HPF modes at  20 / 20000 Hz range

LFO features two shapes (triangular and square)  for various vibrato or wah wah; the LFO also is output on the patch bay for both shapes.

Sequencer

SEQUENCER  astep sequencer is incorporated with up to 32 steps lenght, organized in 8x8 banks memory to save your works.
Notes entry can be done using the 13 rubber buttons (located as a mini keyboard to help the data entry)  the TEMPO/GATE LENGHT  is used to set some functions like note lenght, octave high glide, swing amount, accent and very tangerine dream like "RATCHET" note repetition. The sequencer can be also synched to both Midi clock or analog incoming pulses or even used to control another CV synthesizer (not midi out!)
