Pros
- The matriarch is great too (tho in a lonely unreachable spot at that moment!) it’s on my ‘would be nice to have’ list
- Matriarch is the cornerstone as far as my synths go, with Multi/Poly still in the learning curve phase.
- Aesthetically so pleasing but I understand why they have the colored version to help you visually organize haha
- It does things that no other synth i have can do, thats for sure, but its also very constrained by its own design. A beautiful design, the natural distortion on the moog analogue oscillators is something to behold. Definitely wire the...
- I'm a huge Moog fan also, I have all 5 of the semi modulars, a Mavis and Werkstatt, and a Grandmother & Matriarch, plus the first four foogers and a CP. Love the Moog sound and just generally Moog-i-ness of it all.
Cons
- The Matriarch I bought last month was made in Taiwan.
- One thing to note is that unlike the GM, the Matriarch has some extra odd quirks.
- The matriarch and poly d aren’t polyphonic, they are paraphonic. Meaning you can play different notes on the oscillators but the filter and envelopes will only trigger for the first note (or retrigger each note if you can change the sett...

It does things that no other synth i have can do, thats for sure, but its also very constrained by its own design. A beautiful design, the natural distortion on the moog analogue oscillators is something to behold. Definitely wire the fucker up in as many ways as you can to make it sing. I love it, a beautiful beast.

I say this because you have multiple objects that sit at the pinnacle of sonic bliss— especially the Matriarch without even patching it up!
I bet if you hit literally one note on that matriarch it would sound good to me.

Like a GM, but with more features and voices. You'll be good with either!
