MOOG Labyrinth

MOOG LABYRINTH

How deep does the rabbit hole go? Meet Labyrinth, a synthesizer that attempts to answer that question. With two generative sequencers, you can create sounds that gradually blossom, forming surprising polymetric melodies that you can control the evolutions and scales of as they unfold. Through parallel analog signal paths, you can uncover the true potential of this instrument, adding color and depth to drum rhythms or bass lines. Labyrinth works great as a fully functional standalone instrument or as another element in your rack, guiding you and your compositions into uncharted realms of creativity.

Labyrinth, a semi-modular instrument and idea generator, unveils both familiar and previously unheard patterns, layers, and textures before you. With two generative sequencers, you can create sounds that gradually blossom into surprising polymetric melodies, whose evolutions and scales you can control. Through parallel analog signal paths, you can extract the true potential of this instrument, adding color and depth to drum rhythms or bass lines. It performs well on stage and as a key element in a modest bedroom studio, serving as both a fully functional standalone instrument and another element in your rack.

Labyrinth will lead your recording sessions into uncharted realms of creativity. At its core, the Moog Labyrinth features a robust dual sequencer that uses random operations to build two unique eight-step tracks, which bend and intertwine, creating a captivating sonic path. With a fully functional crossfader, Labyrinth can be synchronized via analog clock or MIDI during signal processing, or when the sound of the instrument is influenced by the action of another device.

Tune your instruments and let Labyrinth improvise in the same key to the sounds you generate while playing the Matriarch synthesizer. Patch Labyrinth with the Spectravox for lively spectral effects. Connect Labyrinth with Mavis in a 104HP rack to expand the number of available modules. These are just a few of the many configurations in which Moog Labyrinth will excel. Regardless of the path you choose, let Labyrinth guide you to your destination.

KEY FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT

What makes Labyrinth unique?

• Two generative sequencers create intertwining melodies that mutate over time. This source of inspiration unveils evolving patterns that you can capture and revisit.
• A fresh approach to the recognizable sound of classic Moog synthesizers with a smooth, voltage-controlled West Coast-style wavefolder. Two oscillators drive duophonic counterpoint melodies, metallic FM sounds, and analog synthetic percussion.
• Variable state voltage-controlled resonant filters, transitioning between low-pass and band-pass characteristics, allow for experimenting with smooth control over complex tonal shapes.
• A parallel signal processing path with a voltage-controlled Blend function enables seamless transitions from one sound to the next.
• A crossfader allows integration with a wide range of other modules from your rack or studio.
