Mother-32: a vintage-voiced analog powerhouse A distinctly vintage-voiced, raw, and powerful synthesizer, the Mother-32 boasts switchable lowpass and highpass Moog ladder filters (20Hz–20kHz), a voltage-controlled 32-step sequencer for self-contained programming, a MIDI input for external control and MIDI to CV conversion, and a 32-point 3.5mm patchbay for interconnectivity and extended synthesis capabilities. The semi-modular Mother-32 serves up the iconic Moog analog sound, yet it’s also conveniently modern. Its massive analog tone spans the range from fat and wooly to sharp and metallic. You can route most of the Mother-32’s modulation sources via mini-toggle switches, giving you access to impressive sound design power. You’ll be able to generate earth-shaking bass, screaming leads, and atmospheric effects without ever touching a patch cable. And thanks to the 32-point patchbay onboard the Mother-32, you can easily connect to the DFAM and other Eurorack modules to create a vastly complex and extremely powerful synthesizer.
DFAM: the Drummer From Another Mother DFAM, the Drummer From Another Mother, generates fat analog rhythms without patching a single cable — and its modular patchbay yields endless creative possibilities. With two selectable analog filters (highpass and lowpass), the Moog DFAM can shape its dual oscillators and noise generator in a myriad of ways. From bright hi-hat sounds to deep kicks and thumps, DFAM delivers analog drum and percussion sounds at their finest. And by using its patchbay to creatively modulate things like oscillator pitch, filter cutoff, and noise level, you can generate all manner of bursts, clangs, and other sound effects. Complete with a dynamic eight-step sequencer, the Moog DFAM is a versatile percussion synth with undeniable vibe, not to mention an ideal companion for the Mother-32.
Rack ‘em and patch ‘em The Moog Sound Studio 1 comprises everything you need to start or further your synthesis journey. A 2-tier rack kit is provided to stack the Mother-32 and DFAM together as a single connected system. Additionally, the Moog Sound Studio 1 offers a 4-input analog summing mixer with a built-in 3-way power distribution hub, which can be conveniently clipped to the rack for an ultra-tidy setup — with two 1/4-inch audio cables included. Moreover, Moog has thrown in a patch cable organizer that connects directly to the back of the rack, along with 10 patch cables in assorted lengths.
