Moog Music Grandmother

Moog Grandmother

Moog Grandmother is a semi-modular analog synthesizer with built-in arpeggiator, sequencer and spring reverb tank. It plays immediately with no patching required, and its reconfigurable front panel opens up further sonic exploration. Its circuits, spring reverb and approach are inspired by the classic Moog modular synthesizers, making it a natural companion for Mother-32, DFAM or a Eurorack system.

Sound engine, modulation and spring reverb are fully analog. Patching is not required but lets you discover new relationships between modules and override the internal connections, so that each section works like an independent module. The sequencer records and plays back up to three sequences of 256 steps.
