Moog Matriarch 50 Dark Noisy Modular Patches. Sound Demo Jam

video upload by Anton Anru

"Dark Side Of The M" is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synthesizer Moog Matriarch. It includes: 12 Arps, 10 Leads, 11 Basses, 8 Drones, 9 Chords.
🌌 In this soundset, I aimed to create dark timbres on the edge between experimental and usable. The Matriarch offers excellent possibilities for this: gritty delay tones, the ability to modulate parameters with audio‑rate sources, filter and amplifier overdrive and distortion, FM and AM, and of course, flexible, complex patching.
This also allowed me to explore new preset categories I hadn’t used before—dark, deep Drones and Chords, where a single held key produces intervals.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/matr...

🧿 The bank covers a wide range of tones: warm, deep, bright, metallic, expressive, dark, evolving, detuned, inharmonic, noisy, distorted, and others.
The presets vary in complexity: some are simpler and will work in any track or genre, while others are experimental and will make your tracks sound unique.

💎 The soundset is suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Funk, Disco, Pop, Acid, Hardcore, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breaks, Breakbeat, Trap, Electro, Ambient, Dubstep, EDM, Synth-Pop and others.

📔 The soundset is presented in PDF format. Each page contains notes explaining how the patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making conscious adjustments, you can explore the depth of the synth.

💽 Each patch includes an audio example, demonstrating how it's supposed to sound. These examples use only the Matriarch Delay without external effects.

🪩 To recreate these presets, you'll need up to 16 patch cords, including long ones.
Make sure your firmware is v1.2.3 or higher for full compatibility with my presets."

Subharmonicon SN 14722
4-Channel Summing Mixer SN 4245

"This bundle of three of Moog's semi-modular synths, DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother), MOTHER32, SUBHARMONICON was specially packaged by the company as a great starter for beginners and professional musicians wanting to get into the modular synth world. This set is beautifully boxed, and shows the love that Moog puts into its products. I have used the synths, but never used or pinned up the posters, sticker or cut outs. They are all untouched. I did play with the patch exploration cards that helped me to learn modular patching to a better extent (Still a full deck).

Moog has discontinued this package, much to the disappointment of many Moog fans. You can still buy the modules separately, but without all the extras that make this set so much fun.

CONTENTS: Moog Sound Studio’s full bundle comes with a three tiered rack with a cable rack that can be attached to store patch cables, custom dust cover, audio mixer, patch book and cables. Other items in the package contain a synth exploration card game and custom artwork by Moog, a Moog screwdriver and Moog pouch for the cables, MIDI patch cable to patch to outboard midi keyboards. I'm adding extra patch cables that weren't in the original purchase" + "'skins' or layovers mimicking the original Moog Matriarch colors which I'm including in the package."

Skybound - full album | rhythmic dark ambient performance with analog synthesizers

video upload by Caught In Joy

"Skybound drifts into a darker side of analog ambient — long shadows, slow-moving bass clouds, quiet tension, and melodic fragments floating through the darkness. It’s deeper, heavier, and more atmospheric than my usual bright, drifting releases… but still gentle, still spacious, still grounded in the warmth of live analog instruments.

If you enjoy immersive night listening, dim-light focus, or slow emotional reset sessions, this one should land well.

Fender Rhodes through nanobox | lemondrop

video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"Signal-processing chain built around a Fender Rhodes piano and a 1010music nanobox | lemondrop.

The Rhodes piano's pickup output is blended with a contact microphone attached inside the instrument to capture mechanical key noise. The combined signal is routed into the lemondrop and used as a live input granular oscillator source. Granular parameters are adjusted in real time to reshape the incoming audio.

Both the processed signal from the lemondrop and the direct Rhodes signal are then sent through the stereo BBD delay on a Moog Matriarch. I also added some reverb from a Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 to create a bit more space and depth.

Nervy jam w/ Torso T-1, Moog Matriarch, Micromonsta 2, Drumbrute Impact

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

After my recent work with the S-4, Torso reached out to see if I'd like to borrow the T-1 for a couple of months, with no expectations on me making a video or doing anything publicly with it. I found the T-1 to be an exceptional sequencer for noodling around, for both better and worse. Better: you quickly start writing song ideas you wouldn't otherwise come up with, and arranging multiple parts across different instruments is extremely fast. Worse: it was challenging for me to shape the output into a finished song; to get to the finish line, I had to work against (or ignore) some of the T-1's best features.

Together, it makes me think the T-1 would shine most as an idea generator with another sequencer (e.g. the DAW), where you could take output from the T-1 and then further refine it. Really enjoyed my time with it, though.

This also marks the return of the Moog Matriarch. I had sold off the Matriarch because it was too large for my smaller studio, or maybe too large to justify keeping around as a mono device for the table. Then I got a larger studio and immediately missed it. Happy to have it back, even if it still feels too big for what it does.

As for the rest, well, they do what they do well. The Micromonsta 2 is a great synth for filling in the gaps, and is bitimbral; the Arturia Drumbrute Impact is a superb drum machine for live performance; and the Chroma Console is a perfect little sweetener, here taking a mono instrument into the stereo space.

Performed and recorded live to a multitrack output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Thanks for listening.

Mother Global Settings Editor for the Moog Grandmother and Matriarch by DIRE Studio

via DIRE Studio

"The proper Grandmother and Matriarch editor has landed.

Mother Global Settings is an intuitive editor for Moog's Grandmother and Matriarch synthesizers. Sporting a 500-series rack inspired control-per-function interface, it's a huge improvement over the quirky global settings editing method of these instruments.
For Mac and iPad.

Supports the creative flow.

Each setting is accessible with two clicks/taps at maximum, allowing you to concentrate on creating your music. Actual values are instantly visible on the screen, which may also prevent a disaster by letting you see output voltage levels. And we have added octave buttons to easily set and check keyboard transposition, as well as a sequence selector override for the Matriarch, letting you quickly switch to any sequence — not just adjacent ones.

Expanded control panel.

Separate items for oscillator frequency ranges on the Matriarch. Fine grained control over MIDI output and local control. Extra glide toggle and arp/seq gate length settings managed by the app. And a panic button in case the synth goes rebel.

Presets.

Save all global settings, as well as our extra settings, into files that you can archive with other project material or share with others. Quickly recall them when needed. And of course you can reset all settings to factory defaults.

Keyboard control.

Keyboard shortcuts for settings affecting synthesizer parameters that you may wish to change during live performance or recording: Gate Length, Swing, FW/BW End Note Repeat, Allow Seq Random Repeat, Delay Seq Change, Pitch Variance, Gated Glide, Legato Glide, Paraphonic Unison, Update Unison on Note-Off, Noise Filter Cutoff, Delay Filter Brightness and Multi Trig.

Equally at home on stage and in the studio.

Direct USB connection for the fastest operation and complete auto-detection — perfect for live performance. 5-pin MIDI support for connecting via MIDI interfaces — and even through MIDI routers — allows you to integrate the app into complex studio setups."

Butterflies | Korg MS-20 and Polysix | Moog Matriarch | Solo Fantasia | Live Studio Performance

video upload by Dr. Synthy Pants

"‪@Fix_your_hearts_or_die‬

this is for you, the one who dreams in colors the rest of us are still learning to see. The one who pours himself out like water, nourishing everyone around him. Remember that the love beside you mirrors the beauty you seek in distant horizons, and the home you've built together is itself a manifestation as profound as any butterfly that crosses your path.

May this music be a reminder that you are not just a witness to magic—you are its author. The butterflies know this. And sometimes, the most beautiful thing you can create is space for yourself to simply be.

With love, in gratitude for the dreams you chase and the beauty you create."

The Finish Line

video upload by davidryle

"Having a little fun with the Q960 sequencers and the Moog Matriarch.

The Q960 pair are set up for index sequencing on the bass line. This is a fun way to mangle the bass line but keep it steady in time with the drum pattern. The gate duty was handed to the Dotcom Q172 quantizer for only sending gates when there is a change of pitch voltage. This helped to avoid the typical pulse rhythm.

The bass voice is a pair of Synthetic Sound Labs TZ-VC Oscillators in FM coupling. There is a third VCO from SSL for a sine wave sub-oscillator. These are mixed through the Corsynth C114 transistor drive mixer to the Oakley Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter in low pass mode. The signal is split and sent through the Modcan 73B stereo echo delay and also a dry signal is driven by a second Corsynth T-Mixer for added saturation.

The drum sounds are from the Delptronics LDB-2E and the TipTop SD808 snare. There is a Mutable Instruments Grids and the Moon Modular 563 trigger sequencer coupled to trigger the modules. The snare is sent through the MakeNoise Echophon delay and produces the raspy pulse voice heard throughout.

A hollow wood/metal block percussive sound is generated by a pair of Dotcom Q106's, a Mega Ohm Audio CdS LPG and an SSL Digital Delay. This is triggered by the STG Trigger Mini Store and reset by the Moon 554 Octal Clock Divider.

The IN-YER-FACE lead line is the Moog Matriarch through a T.C.Electronics D-Two delay unit.

Clock source was from Cubase through the STG Time Divider.

A pair of Dotcom Q962 Sequential Switches were used to route the various step gates from the lower Q960 Sequencer to the upper Q960. Routing and pitch values were pre-determined after hours of rehearsal to set up a particular scale or mode that determined what I should play on the Matriarch.

It should be noted that certain happenstance values of the sequence pattern produced passing tones that lead to the typical blues scale in C. I just had to go with it."

Sunday Session Jam 01 🎹🎹🎹 #electronicmusic #synthesizer #shorts

video upload by Luke Million

"I’m thinking about starting a fun new video series where I create jams in my studio on Sunday afternoons.

Today I’ve set up my Arturia KeyStep Pro, ARP 2600M, Moog Matriarch and Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984.

The KeyStep sends midi clock to the DrumBrute and sequences the ARP2600M. And the Matriarch is dialled in for some tweaking!

Sunday arvo’s do have a vibe and are perfect for music creation with no distractions 😊"

Luke Million Studio Tour Update July 2025

video upload by Luke Million

"Following the Studio Tour Video I made last November, here is an update with recent acquisitions and changes to my workflow in my Studio.

Some highlights are the Moog Messenger, Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984 Edition, Synido TempoPAD C16, Aly James Lab Vprom 3.0, Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro, Modartt Pianoteq 8 and some Franklin Audio Devices.

The biggest change is in my 2nd Studio where the B Team is kept. I have connected those synths to a Franklin Audio SS-6 Switchable Input Stereo DI which then sends audio to my Universal Audio Volt 476 interface connected to a Macbook Pro Laptop.

Moog's LAST GREAT SYNTH: The Moog Matriarch

video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol

BUY THE NEW ALBUM HERE
https://noiretblancvie.bandcamp.com/a...

.....it's great! OK so, I really don't know what to say. As someone who makes music a lot, not all instruments inspire the creative process. I believe the Moog Matriarch does. I haven't bought a synth in a very long time, but this is a gorgeous piece, I'm not a hype man for gear, but sometimes you look back and see that you may have missed out on something...for me, the Matriarch was that one, and I'm grateful they had the dark version still available so I didn't have to show you the crayola colored version lol

RIFT - Modular Percussion #10 // Arbhar, Prism, Subharmonicon, Mojave, Matriarch

video upload by David Falcon

"/rɪft/
noun
1. a crack, split, or break in something.
2. a serious break in friendly relations.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
El objetivo de este tema era hacer un patch percusivo con el modular. En el Arbhar tengo un sample de estática de la radio que paso por el filtro del Qu-bit Prism. Con un sample and hold desde PAM's lo modulo rítmicamente creando el patrón rítmico más agudo.
Despuén en el Moog Subharmonicon tengo un patch de Bombo que paso a través del Qu-Bit Mojave, y así lograr unos golpes que recuerdan a toms haciendo el beat algo más complejo.

Esa capa base quedó grabada durante un par de semanas sin que tuviera opción de añadirle nada más e iba a subirla así, pero decidí crear una linea de bajo con el Analog Four, un arpegio y una textura con el OP-1 y por último un lead/textura con el Matriarch.

The objective of this song was to make a percussive patch with the modular. In the Arbhar I have a sample of radio static that I pass through the Qu-bit Prism filter. With a sample and hold from PAM's I modulate it rhythmically creating the rhythmic pattern.
Later on the Moog Subharmonicon I made a Bass Drum patch that I pass through the Qu-Bit Mojave, and thus achieve some hits that are reminiscent of toms making the beat somewhat more complex.

That base layer was recorded for a couple of weeks without me having the chance to add anything else to it. I was going to upload it like this, but I decided to create a bass line with the Analog Four, an arpeggio and a texture with the OP-1 and finally a lead/texture with the Matriarch."

"Moog, Roland: YES, please, more of THIS.
Blablabla limitations, blablabla the future.
I – DON'T – CARE. This sounds so good, it reminds me of the amazing Matriarch, which has the gorgeous delay built in, and that characterful Moog sound. Boy, I miss that keyboard.
Anyway, this is why I fiddle with hardware synthesizers: living these moments of bliss when everything aligns, the chord strikes perfectly and the BBD provide you with that nostalgia of times and places you've never visited. Lovely.
I hope you'll get to experience the same, both here watching this video and in your sonic explorations!"
