Overview
Handcrafted in Asheville, NC, Moog's Mother-32 is their first-ever semi-modular synthesizer. The Mother-32 adds a distinctive raw analog sound, sequencing and extensive interconnectivity to any electronic or modular ecosystem. A great companion for the Moog Grandmother, DFAM or other lager Eurorack systems, the Mother-32 is meticulously designed to provide musicians with a diverse array of creative tools to inspire new music, unique sound and endless sonic exploration. Loaded with features, the Mother-32 is pure Moog sound throughout every component.
Pure analog power
Mother-32 is driven by a 100% analog sound engine with a semi-modular architecture that means its prewired for immediate use, but all of its internal wiring can also be interrupted using any of the 32 patch points. At the core of the Mother-32's structure is a single VCO with the choice between a sawtooth waveform and a square shape waveform with a variable pulse width control that can dial in a wide variety of tonal variations. There's also a switchable high pass and low pass classic Moog Ladder filter with its characteristically smooth 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The LFO on the Mother-32 can switch between sawtooth and triangle waveshapes with audio-rate modulation capability.
Built-in sequencer
One powerful feature on the Mother-32 is its voltage controlled 32-step sequencer with up to 64 sequence locations. There are two input methods available on the Mother-32 including a keyboard input where you can play in the note for each step with a connected MIDI keyboard controller, or you can use the 1-octave keypad that's built right into the Mother-32. In addition, you can program rest, tie, accent, gate length, glide on/off and ratchet count per step to create more complex and interesting patterns.
Infinite expansion
Despite the fact that there is only a single oscillator inside the Mother-32, the 32-point patchbay provides an extensive amount of routing capabilities both internally and through external Eurorack compatible modules for an exponential expansion options. Mother-32 is the perfect companion for other Moog semi-modular synthesizers that have come along including the Grandmother and the DFAM. Try putting adding multiple Mother-32s or DFAMs into the optional 2- or 3-tier rack system, and create a wide range of rich harmonic textures.
Features
- Voltage Controlled 32 Step Sequencer with 64 Sequence Locations
- Low Pass & High Pass Moog Ladder Filter (20Hz“20KHz) with voltage controlled resonance
- External audio input for processing outside sound sources
- Definitive Moog oscillator with Pulse and Sawtooth wave outputs
- 5-pin MIDI input and MIDI to CV converter
- 32 Modular Patch Points (Includes 5 patch cables)
- 2 Voltage controlled mixers
- White Noise
- Superb companion to Werkstatt 01, Minitaur and other synthesizers
- Main module can be easily transferred into any Eurorack skiff
- Mount 2 or 3 units vertically with optional 2 and 3 Tier kits

It sounds really good but Im afraid that if it fell off my desk it would explode. All of the controls are mounted onto the circuit board and not bolted to the faceplate. The patch point jacks are already wiggling and it not even a month old.
The tempo knob wont adjust to slower tempos.
Not the quality I expected.

Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
This module works great when integrated into a Eurorack system. On its own it sounds a bit dated.
Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
This is an AMAZING synth. It's a perfect intro into modular synthesis, as it's pretty straightforward to get it sounding good out of the box (since it's semi-modular, it's pre-patched), but you can spend days digging through the cool stuff under the hood (aka oozing out the patch panel). There is a lot of depth buried under the patch panel and the assignable output modes. (You want a sample-and-hold VCF? No problem! Control ANYTHING from a MIDI CC? Sure!) . The documentation is also well-written and helpful.

Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
Mother-32 is a little powerhouse! Top quality Moog sound, craftsmanship, design, attention to detail. Great for modular beginners and pros alike. Built-in 32-step sequencer is amazing. MIDI In port gives me the flexibility to record directly into Ableton and/or through my Akai MIDI controller.

Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
Love this product and it was well worth the money to do a 3 tier rack. Moog had a Moogfest!!! last month and I got an amazing deal from the friendly folks at Guitar Center by calling in and getting assistance over the phone. They have the most unique sound and clarity unlike anything i have ever played and don't forget to mention absolutely fun and addicting. I found myself wanting to be obsessed with the structure behind this device and want to master it because it is so cool to use. So many possibilities and billions of sounds that you can create with the ability to patch with the 32 patch ports. A must buy if you love the art of analog electronic music

Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
This is an excellent choice for someone just starting out with modular synths, or as an expansion of an existing system. The patch points allow creation of sounds that aren't apparent from merely looking at the knobs and switches.
Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
This is my first modular synthesizer and there is somewhat of a learning curve getting it to produce sounds that I like; plus I bought this thing to work with a Moog Subsequent 37 CV synth too, and I haven't found the sweet spot of connecting them yet. It is solidly made, and I like the layout, and the documentation is pretty good. I was very happy with it being on sale when I bought it, if I'm allowed to say that.
Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
I took the plunge into modular and this is where I started. Newcomers will find it fairly easy to learn. Veterans will appreciate how versatile it is. For what it is, it is a very inexpensive synth. Everything you need to get started and it sounds incredible!

Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
The oscillator in this unit is phenomenal. You immediately know that you have a Moog. The learning curve is a little steeper than a traditional synth, but not a much as a full modular setup. Definitely have to read the manual for this one.
Comments about Moog Mother-32 Semi Modular Synth Module:
This synth is amazing, pure analog joy. Guitar Center was great. Parker at customer service was extremely helpful in finding the mother 32 for me. I ordered it online as soon as I saw it was in stock and ready for shipment only to find out that all the units were already spoken for. I called customer service and Parker answered. He put me on hold for a few minutes and found one for me. I would recommend Guitar Center and the Moog Mother 32 to anyone.
