The Moog Matriarch - There's a New Mother In Town! 

Drummer From Another Grandmother. That would make it the DFAG though, which is a name they might want to avoid 🤔

I love my DFAM, Im totally saving up for a Grandmother and maybe later this year i'll get the Mother 32 and Rack it with my DFam..Im still really new to Synth so im learning how to use them.

@@Jim_Thomas_Draper no, no. I have to disagree. DFAG is the ultimate name. So thank you. I do like the idea of a DFAM on steroids

Yeah, a Moog MILF would be stellar ... an absolute banger!!

Thanks so much for the kind comment ZMB X

classic setup, one plays dumb and asks the questions they already know the answer to, and the other answers them for the viewer lol

It's called the _Realistic Concertmate_ MG-1...

Just bought one btw about a week ago. :)

Thanks so much for the kind comment Steven. Glad to hear you got your hands on one, I can only dream of such a thing!!! Sending my best wishes and thanks again X

redirishmanxlt the model 10 is a very different synth. I absolutely DON’T think it’s worth $10k, it would be a much more realistic price at around $3.5K. But Moog is selling them as collector’s items, essentially. They understand that most casual synth enthusiasts aren’t interested in diving into something as unforgiving and complicated as a model 10/15, so they price accordingly. All Moog synths are overpriced, really. Although they’re some of my favorite, we’re really buying a name with a lot of what they have to offer.

Blue Hole no, just because the industry is suddenly flooded with equivalent of fake Rolex watches, that doesn’t mean small manufacturers like Moog with 250 employees and maybe 8M in revenue are overpriced, do you really think anyone at Moog are getting rich by as you claim it overpricing their instruments? what about selling fake watches, is that guy getting rich?

Robert Moog synths are pretty objectively overpriced for what they are. Actually, I’m a watch enthusiast and Rolex is a great example to back up my point. All Rolex actually has is a name, branding, heritage. Their movements are a step up from what you’d find in your average watch, but there’s a reason Tudor exists. Tudor is made BY Rolex, same parts, same materials, same quality and craftsmanship, but guess what it’s missing? A stamp that says Rolex on the face. That’s why a Tudor Black Bay and a Submariner have about a $4,000 price difference. And the knockoff metaphor backs up my point as well. The market IS flooded with fake Rolexes, lots of them are made identical to Rolex to a TEE, and you can get them for ~$500. But someone who’s shopping for a Rolex isn’t a casual horological enthusiast, they’re people who are willing to pay a premium for someone to look down and see the word Rolex on their wrist. I.E, people with money. You can literally go online and buy a “Rolex” right now, same parts, same build quality, same everything. For like, 1/20 of the price, but that doesn’t affect the price of a real Rolex because Rolex aren’t marketing to people who want a fake. A Daytona is tied with an Omega Seamaster as my favorite watch of all time, and I’d personally buy one at full price if I ever came into some money. I can’t bring myself to buy a fake, because it doesn’t seem right, even though Rolex is NOT hurting financially and, again, it’s essentially the same product. That’s why “pride of ownership” was invented by marketing teams. To make people who are too broke to buy something as extravagant as a Rolex feel bad for getting what’s really the next best thing, because nobody without a microscope will be able to tell, and realistically they’re so well made that you’d still have to be an expert to differentiate. So yes, Rolex is fundamentally overpriced, and they built their whole brand on that idea. Getting back to the synth side of things, that’s all Moog has; brand name, good marketing, and heritage. They have a history of being pioneers and innovators in the synth world, (although that was really Bob Moog, not anyone who’s at the company currently) and they were the first company to do what they do and they got it VERY right on the first try. But there’s actually a replica synth market as well, you can go to Club Of The Knobs, Synthesizer.com, even BEHRINGER soon, (I’ve owned both a Moog model D and the BEHRINGER clone) and get a clone of a model 15 for much less money than what you can buy a Moog for. And the only difference is that one panel says COTK or Behringher and the other says Moog.

Blue Hole I don’t think the Matriarch is overpriced at all.

Blue Hole try buying yourself a nice woodwind or brass instrument or really any hand crafted classical instrument. I bought a nice getzen trumpet for $2,600 a few years back

Wow congrats have fun man!! I just bought some astrophotography gear so don’t want to but I’m considering the Mattiarch too. The sound...damn

lol the world is still going to hell and I jut got mine this week too !

oh how much worse its gotten lol

Idiot

Looking forward to creating the soundtrack for the 8th Circle with this thing

he's paid dude...

@@BarbieChaite 🤷🏻‍♂️ does that matter? Still will make my own decisions based on the synth but doesn’t change my opinion on his style.

@@mildwestmusic if nothing matters...

36:50 lovely drone \0/

I love Russian/Soviet gear.

ROB A If Jack were my coworker, I’m fairly certain managment would seperate us.

I have on preordered as well. Can’t wait. It’s the synth I’ve always wanted.

@@HotStrange same to both of you. Eye have a pre-order a well. Hopefully Eye'll be retired from gear shopping for a while after this. It should keep me busy for about 10 - 60 years (-8

"F-ing wow" indeed. Also, bagpipes.

Alfie John did you forget to switch accounts or did they delete their comments?

@@mentalfortitude5718 Sorry, my comment is a year old so I can't remember the context... but I think either there's a point when he says in the video "F-ing Wow", or there was a comment before mine. The bagpipes comment was me laughing at the drone-bagpipes bit of the video

Alfie John all good my hemorrhoid isn’t that infected anymore

@@mentalfortitude5718 just remember to apply the cream twice a day after you pass a stool

AC = bipolar voltage = goes to + and - , with 0 in the middle = produced by audio signals and looping modulators, bipolar tends to be cyclical DC = unipolar voltage = 0 to + only = produced by envelopes, pulses, gates, S&H etc, unipolar tends to be momentary I say "tends to be" since functions such as inversion, offsets and rectiification may alter these signal to be used as uni or bi.

How does that mean the oscillators can’t be closely related to those then? I don’t get this comment. Pretty sure the guy works for/with Moog very closely so I reckon he would know. Unless you work for them also and have some insider info?

Hmm! That's a really good question. Eye don't think enough of the right people have received theirs yet.

Check on Lisa Bella Donna performing live with just the Matriarch. Its quite impressive.

Look up Lisa Bella Donna. She performs the hell out of it.

Funkbutterfly ya I’ve seen her performances but they’re improvisational. Like I said it would be nice to be able to save a patch without having to take a picture or memorize how the patch was made

ru-vid.com/group/PLmYpnwqLK2TMHLXJvCb3uvfOCIIg5ULxe < here's a few to get yer teeth into m8 x More coming!

Nope, but that's a great way to learn synthesis, always having to recreate patches

Don’t forget Luke from Korg. I’d love a video of the 3 of them.

@@HotStrange Not sure Jack is up for threesomes!

Herr Absurd I’m sure he’d make an exception for Luke.

I've just gotten a matriach and you can get some gnarly Reese basses pretty fast with little fiddling.

Thanks, Dr. P!

Iconic albums to remind them off what to shoot for!

Same, I like scary haunting noises on synths but the colours kind of ruin the creepyness (does that make sense?). I think polymoogs look "creepier" but there's no way I'll ever afford to have one

Paint it 😊

It is reasonably priced. If you compare it to a modular system with similar features, you will end up more likely with a 3,5 - 4k € pricetag, and don´t even have a case, nor a FATAR Keybed, nor sequencer included.

i said compared to the GM. not compared to modular. its 2.5x the price of a grandmother for 2x the features.

@@emilyschmanks I don't think that's a fair comparison of the price, then. Why compare it to the Grandmother? It looks like a bigger version, that's about it. What pulsn mentioned is correct, compare it to what it's actually similar to.

​@@joeboonmusic4004 why compare it to the grandmother, are you kidding? because the matriarch is basically two GM's put into one case? unless you're seeing something that i'm not, the architecture and modules are essentially the same except that it has twice the functionality of the GM.

@@emilyschmanks If you think the Matriarch is just two grandmothers side-by-side, I'm done.

I’ve used synths without presets live many times. Once you learn a synth it’s very quick to change presets.

Adam Jerzy Rodewald they did it back in the day. So can YOU.

Charles Carr Quite different beasts though. This is certainly a deeper and more powerful instrument.

Charles Carr u get what u pay for in life.

I don’t think he needs to get ripped, but with his head shape + beard, he’d definitely look good if he went bald.

@@HotStrange Yeah he would. Never hurts to bulk up at least a little when going with the bald look, it's guaranteed to be cool.

Crolodon Haha don’t worry, I will before long - go the slick way of Amos Gaynes!

@@mylarmelodies Party on my dude!

🤣

It's like me playing 😂

Thanks for the feedback X

Hipsters.

Are you deaf ?

Wilco, radiohead, mogwai, about 1,000 other bands. Like the great Moogs off the past, this thing is going to be all over records for years.

well at least it sounds better than the moog one thats for sure , no synth released today can compare to the greats of yesteryear , the component side (equivalents) has changed much of the sound , analogs today sound harder and more brittle wich of course can be something you like or dislike

@@cnfuzz - Hunh? Have electrons changed since the 60-70s then, or what? o_0

Shame it came across that way to you Barbie. Thanks for letting us know though x
