Moog Mother-32 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer
Key Features
  • 100% Analog Sound Engine
  • VCO with Square and Saw Waveforms
  • Classic Moog Filter: Switchable LP/HP
  • LFO with Square and Triangle Waveforms
The Mother-32 from Moog is a semi-modular analog synthesizer with an integrated 32-step sequencer and 32-point patchbay with Eurorack compatibility. The semi-modular design is pre-wired internally for making sounds without patch cables and is fully controllable via MIDI. The single oscillator is switchable between saw and square waveforms and offers pulse width modulation. The on-board LFO is capable of generating frequencies at audio levels and can be routed to the VCO, pulse width, filter cutoff. The classic 24 dB ladder filter is switchable between low-pass and high-pass with controls for cutoff and resonance. The envelope offers controls for attack and decay with sustain available via toggle switch.

From Manufacturer

The Mother-32 from Moog is a semi-modular analog synthesizer with an integrated 32-step sequencer and 32-point patchbay with Eurorack compatibility. The semi-modular design is pre-wired internally for making sounds without patch cables and is fully controllable via MIDI. The single oscillator is switchable between saw and square waveforms and offers pulse width modulation. The on-board LFO is capable of generating frequencies at audio levels and can be routed to the VCO, pulse width, filter cutoff. The classic 24 dB ladder filter is switchable between low-pass and high-pass with controls for cutoff and resonance. The envelope offers controls for attack and decay with sustain available via toggle switch.

The on-board sequencer offers 32 steps and can be saved into 64 sequencer preset slots. Each step can record note, glide, gate length, accent, rest, and ratchet information, while the sequencer itself can clock to MIDI and offers a global swing. The on-board 13-note keyboard can record into the sequencer in real-time or be used to step-record data. Additionally, the keyboard can transpose a running sequence in real-time.

The front panel of the Mother-32 can be removed from the chassis and placed within a standard Eurorack enclosure, making it fully compatible with a variety of Eurorack modules. The patch-bay offers 32 input and output points for signal routing including VCO waveform output, voltage control over resonance, LFO rate control, external audio input, keyboard CV tracking, and connections for controlling the sequencer. The Mother-32 ships with a power supply and 5 patch cables

Moog Mother-32 Reviews

Awesome!

By Paul
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-12

I just bought five (5!) of these Moog systems (each different) and just installed in a rack and still integrating with the rest of my systems (Buchla, Arp, etc.). The build quality is excellent and I have many all-nighters ahead of me exploring!

Great analog synth
