01Overview

The Matriark draws its sounds from the Moog Matriarch, with patches that use its four oscillators linked through sync or frequency modulation. Beat says this produces a more metallic character and extra punch compared with the classic Minimoog and Model D basses and synths. The pack also includes pads and textures meant to add atmosphere, all carrying the Moog flavor. It is aimed at MPC users who want analog-style Moog tones ready to play in their sequences.

03In depth

Moog Matriarch Basses, Leads and Synths

The pack is organized into 77 Keygroup programs: 22 basses, 31 lead sounds, 15 synths and arpeggios, and 9 effects and atmospheres. Beat describes the basses and synths as strong and powerful, with the punch of the Minimoog and Model D lineage.

The main difference Beat highlights is the use of frequency modulation and linked oscillators, which add a metallic edge to the tones. The atmospheric effects and pads cover the more textural side of the collection.
