What it is The Moog Mother-32 is a semi-modular monophonic analog synthesizer in a eurorack form factor. It can be used as a standalone synth or in conjunction with a larger eurorack modular setup. Sound engine The Mother-32 offers a single voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) which produces pulse and saw waves. One wave shape can be selected at a time, although both are available at the patch points which allows both to be used simultaneously if desired. The sound of the VCO passes through a voltage controlled filter (VCF) which can operate in low-pass or high-pass mode. Familiar cutoff and resonance controls provide shaping controls. The VCF can be modulated by either the envelope generator or the LFO in either positive or negative direction. The simple envelope generator (EG) offers attack time and decay time with switchable sustain (either on or off). The onboard low-frequency oscillator (LFO) can take on either triangle or square shape. Its rate is controlled by a dedicated knob and also offers a patch po
