Moog Mother 32 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer

Moog Mother 32

Semi-modular analog synthesizer

The Mother 32 has caused more than a stir among analog enthusiasts, and I suspect it could become the most popular product in the history of the Moog company and deliver the Moog sound to a wider audience of musicians and technophiles than ever. beforehand.

The Synth, Mother 32

The mother 32’s primary sound source is a single oscillator that produces two waveforms, sawtooth and pulse, the latter with variable pulse width and PWM. Only one of the waveforms is available at any one time without the use of patch cables, but both can be obtained simultaneously from the patchbay. You can modulate the frequency of the VCO or the pulse width using the internal LFO or the contour generator, but again you can affect both simultaneously by patching external sources to one of the three pitch CV inputs in the patchbay. Portamento is also available. A second sound source comes in the form of an analog white noise generator, and you can mix its output with the output of the oscillator using the pre-patched voltage controlled mixer. Alternatively, you can inject an external signal (or, for that matter,

The Keyboard, Sequencer, and MIDI

Most of the moog Mother 32’s manual is devoted to the miniature push-button keyboard and how to use it, along with some dedicated buttons, to program the digitally controlled, 32-step monophonic sequencer. But things first – you can use the keyboard to play simple melodies. It only spans an octave, but with eight octave settings you can use it to play across a huge range of pitches. You’re never going to try any of Rick Wakeman’s solos on it (which you never would), but it provides a convenient way to test sounds and program the sequencer, which is permanently linked to the VCO pitch, gate and trigger for the contour generator.
