Grandmother is the latest semi-modular analog synth from Moog. There have been increasingly more and more semi modular synths released in recent years and the demand for rewiring synths and interfacing them with other modular gear grows.

In this clip I explore what's special about Moog's Grandmother, and it turns out there's quite a lot there, especially if you look beneath the surface. For example, while the front panel seems to show only two oscillators and one envelope, in reality, Grandmother has three fully functioning volt/octave oscillators (four if you count the self resonating filter), two and even three envelopes, and is capable of being played paraphonically.

All of these and plenty more patching ideas, tips and tricks are explored in this clip

Moog Grandmother Sync Sequence

Published on Jun 27, 2018 SourceDistributionTV

"Jamming with a sequence, using S&H on the modulation oscillator to adjust VCO2 of the Moog Grandmother. VCO 2 is the Sync source for VCO1, causing nice 'high notes'. All sound is direct from Grandmother without external effects. Grandmother is coming to UK soon"

Moog Grandmother meets Eurorack Modular (Part 1)

Published on Sep 20, 2018 once upon a synth

"Let's connect a eurorack modular to the Moog Grandmother! The Grandmother is semi-modular which means you can break the normal connection between modules and connect to external modules. In this video we explore replacing the Grandmother's filter, adding additional oscillators, processing waveforms, sequencing parameters and adding LFOs and ring modulation. This is part 1. Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon!"

Moog Grandmother Overview & Tour

Published on Sep 10, 2018 once upon a synth

"Let's go over each module on the Moog Grandmother and explain what the knobs and jacks do. The Grandmother is a new analog monophonic semi-modular synth from Moog. It has 2 analog oscillators, a low pass filter, spring reverb, ADSR envelope generator, an LFO (with sample and hold), mult, high pass filter, arpeggiator and sequencer.

In this video I'll start off with the audio signal path modules and then move onto to the utility/modulation modules."

I'm beginning to work on new material for my next "Science Patrol" album, and what better way to begin by trying out the new Moog Grandmother Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer! This is a first, quick, rough test (10 minutes after unboxing) featuring three tracks of the Grandmother and one track of the Moog DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother) for percussion. More to come..."

Moog Grandmother Semi-Modular Keyboard Synth

Published on Jun 15, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Moog Grandmother is an analog semi-modular keyboard synthesizer with circuitry inspired by the Moog Modular. It has an arpeggiator and sequencer, two VCOs, an LFO that can be used as a third oscillator, a low-pass ladder filter as well as a simple high-pass filter and a spring reverb. The Grandmother can be played as a regular synth voice without patching anything, but you can experiment with other routing options by using patch cables.

Moog Grandmother and Octave Cat Messing About #1

Published on Aug 5, 2018 Earmonkey Music

"This video is a general messing about with the Moog Grandmother with the Octave Cat signal patched into the audio in of the Grandmother. You can create some pretty big sounds with the Moog and the Octave Cat is no slouch. Really, this is just me experimenting and talking a bit about what I'm doing. Mostly music and knob twiddling though."

The Paths Of Old - a Moog Grandmother demo track

Published on Jul 20, 2018

"The product of my first week with the new Moog Grandmother synthesizer, this Berlin-School-inspired electronic rock instrumental was made using only the Moog. No other instruments or effects were used, and no EQ was applied at any stage - just a bit of multi-band compression on the final mix. The Grandmother was tracked into Cubase through a Chandler TG-2 pre-amp plugged into a MOTU 1248 AVB interface."

Moog Semi-Modular Synthesizers: Interconnectivity II

Published on Mar 4, 2020 Moog Music Inc

"Four instruments from Moog's semi-modular family of analog synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, and DFAM) connect together in a new exploratory composition.

In this patch, Grandmother serves as a master clock, distributing sync signals to the Matriarch, Mother-32, and DFAM. The patch begins with the Grandmother playing a simple bassline, processed through a DIY J.H. Haible phaser, and one of the Matriarch’s analog delays. The DFAM provides a kick drum pattern to anchor the elements of the song together, while the Mother-32 plays a deep ostinato bass melody. The Matriarch generates the upper register arpeggio in round robin mode, allowing the mixer section to be used creatively to introduce and remove notes in the arpeggiated melody. Finally, the Matriarch is also being utilized to sum the Grandmother’s audio in the VCA section, while the Matriarch’s analog delays are being used separately to provide unique delay effects to the Grandmother and Matriarch separately.

For more patch ideas and creative inspiration, plus access to the latest firmware updates and other new features, register your Moog synthesizer at https://www.moogmusic.com/register."

Moog Matriarch Synthesizer Demos with Mikael Jorgensen & Philip Cornish

Moog Matriarch Synthesizer Demo with Mikael Jorgensen - All Playing, No Talking Published on Apr 25, 2019 Musician's Friend

"Moog Matriarch is a semi-modular, 4-note paraphonic synthesizer and the newest member of the Mother family of synths.

Demoed here by Mikael Jorgensen of Wilco, Matriarch's design is based on some of Bob Moog's most revered circuits. The all-analog signal path features 4 powerful VCOs, dual ladder filters, stereo delay, an arpeggiator and a performance friendly 256-note sequencer.

The 4 VCO design can be played in three distinct modes: 4-note paraphonic, 2-note paraphonic and monophonic. Each oscillator can select from a variety of waveshapes and octaves, allowing you to create incredibly rich and harmonically complex sounds. As mentioned, Matriarch features two classic Moog Ladder Filters that can be used in three distinct modes: parallel (High Pass/Low Pass), stereo (Low Pass/Low Pass), and series (HP/LP).

Where Grandmother featured an analog spring reverb, Matriarch features a dual analog delay inspired by the MF-104M Moogerfooger circuit. This delay module offers up to 700ms of stereo or ping-pong style repeats.

Although Matriarch has 90 patch points, enough to satisfy even the most adventurous of sound designers, it can be played right out of the box thanks to its intuitive layout and signal flow."
