Moog Mother-32

Moog Mother-32 Semi-Modular Analog Synth

Moog Mother-32 is the first semi-modular tabletop and Eurorack synthesizer from Moog. The Mother-32 adds raw analog sound, sequencing and extensive interconnectivity to any electronic or modular ecosystem and was meticulously designed to provide musicians with a diverse array of creative tools to inspire new music, unique sound and endless sonic exploration. It comes secured in a rugged extruded aluminum skiff with wood sides and features a modular patch bay with 32 patch-points for extended synthesis complexity and an assignable CV jack with 16 assignable sources.
