Mother-32

The Moog Mother-32 is the first tabletop semi-modular synthesizer from
Moog. It is a distinctive analog instrument that adds raw analog sound,
sequencing and extensive interconnectivity to any electronic or modular
ecosystem. This expansive new live performance and production instrument
is handcrafted in Asheville, NC and has been meticulously designed to
provide musicians with a diverse array of creative tools to inspire new
music, unique sound and endless sonic exploration.
Mother-32 comes secured in a rugged extruded aluminum enclosure with
wood sides and features a voltage controlled 32-step sequencer with 64
sequence locations, definitive Moog low pass and high pass Ladder Filter, 2
voltage controlled mixers, a classic Moog oscillator with dual outputs, widerange
LFO with audio-rate modulation capability, MIDI input and MIDI to
CV conversion, white noise, a modular patchbay with 32 patch-points for
extended synthesis complexity and an assignable CV jack with 16 assignable
sources.
