Anaheim, Calif. – July 23, 2019 – Moog Music Inc. has received two nominations for the 35th Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Awards in the category of Outstanding Technical Achievement in Music Instrument Hardware for the Moog Matriarch and the Moog One.

The Moog Matriarch is a patchable 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer with a built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, stereo Ladder Filters, and stereo Analog Delay. New users and verteran synthesists alike can easily creating rich evolving chord patterns immediately with “no patching required”, or explore an abundance of inspiring textures, new sounds, and an endless supply of happy accidents through Matriarch’s 90 modular patch points. Based on the vintage circuitry of Bob Moog’s classic synthesizer modules, Matriarch is a catalyst for creative ideas and a medium for multidimensional expression.

Moog One is a programmable, tri-timbral, polyphonic, analog dream-synth designed to inspire imagination, stimulate creativity and unlock portals to vast new realms of sonic potential. The first polyphonic synth from Moog in 35 years, Moog One is the culmination of years of research and has been developed to exceed principal expectations of a polyphonic Moog instrument. Moog One's iconic angled Front Panel groups single-function knobs together by module — Oscillators, Filters, Envelopes, LFOs, etc. — in a way that is reminiscent of the original Moog modular synthesizers, as well as the legendary Minimoog Model D.
