Not expected to be in a local store until July. Also, Moog products won't ship "internationally" from most US based shops. So I guess I've got lots of time to sell stuff. Might still put a deposit down to reserve one :idk:

I am looking to integrate more synth stuff into my current workflow and sound. I think this would fit pretty well, at least better than my Sub37. And I like that the semi modular architecture will allow me to expand into other synth areas as well if ever desired. I'll probably still try to sell my Sub37, but if I wind up keeping it, I don't think it is a big deal since they are pretty different.

Can anyone recommend what length patch cables I should buy to use on this thing?

Oh then it's not too surprising that my local shop is expecting them in July as well. I'm going to sell my Peak before then and possibly my Field Kit, Field Kit FX, and all the expansions.

And I would assume that it comes with a few cables, but it doesn't actually mention that anywhere. Probably want to mainly stick with 12 to 18 inch cables. I doubt you'll be patching from one side to the other all that often, but you might want a couple longer ones just in case. I'm also a big fan of really short cables to keep things clean so I like having some 6 inch ones around too. Also, I love the idea of Tendrils (https://www.tendrilscables.com/shop/) and if I were to start again they would probably be the only ones I buy (aside from Tiptop stackables because those are pretty key too)

It's pretty interesting to see Moog doing a stereo filter after the Make Noise QPAS and the SSF Stereo Dipole, especially since the QPAS is based on the Voyager filter.

I can see myself experimenting with running tracks through the Matriarch just to get a nice stereo image. A little modulation on the filter and delay could get really spacey. Could end up making the whole synth a good effects unit when it isn't being used as a sound source.

Welp, time to start selling stuff.

They play guitar through it in the second video that Ugly Nora linked above. It did sound really nice too

Yeah, it sounds like a really lovely delay overall. It should be pretty easy to get modulated repeats with an LFO for those Memory Man vibes.
Probably doesn't go down into true chorus range if it's like the MF-104 though.
