The Mother-32 from Moog is a semi-modular analog synthesizer with an integrated 32-step sequencer and 32-point patchbay with Eurorack compatibility. The semi-modular design is pre-wired internally for making sounds without patch cables and is fully controllable via MIDI. The single oscillator is switchable between saw and square waveforms and offers pulse width modulation. The on-board LFO is capable of generating frequencies at audio levels and can be routed to the VCO, pulse width, filter cutoff. The classic 24 dB ladder filter is switchable between low-pass and high-pass with controls for cutoff and resonance. The envelope offers controls for attack and decay with sustain available via toggle switch.

The on-board sequencer offers 32 steps and can be saved into 64 sequencer preset slots. Each step can record note, glide, gate length, accent, rest, and ratchet information, while the sequencer itself can clock to MIDI and offers a global swing. The on-board 13-note keyboard can record into the sequencer in real-time or be used to step-record data. Additionally, the keyboard can transpose a running sequence in real-time.

The front panel of the Mother-32 can be removed from the chassis and placed within a standard Eurorack enclosure, making it fully compatible with a variety of Eurorack modules. The patch-bay offers 32 input and output points for signal routing including VCO waveform output, voltage control over resonance, LFO rate control, external audio input, keyboard CV tracking, and connections for controlling the sequencer. The Mother-32 ships with a power supply and 5 patch cables

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this run off a battery or does it always have to be plugged in?

A: No. Must have ac power for the included power supply.

Q: 2. Does this have a footswitch input? only expression pedal input is listed in the description. If there is a footswitch, can it be routed to sustain, portamento on/off or ?

A: The Sledge 2.0 Synthesizer features 2 pedal inputs, one labeled HOLD that would support Sustain. The other port EXPRESSION, can be assigned to control Volume, Filter Cutoff or Modulation.

Q: 3. Where is the electronic section made?

A: The Moog Minimoog Model D Classic Monophonic Analog Synthesizer is made in the US.

Q: 4. Can the Keyboard sequence drum kits?

A: Yes, Roland JUNO-DS88 Synthesizer has an eight-track pattern sequencer to capture and develop ideas for songs or beats.

Q: 5. Is there any solution to mount this gear in a rack stand?

A: Waldorf does not make a rackmount kit for the Blofeld desktop synthesizer. You may consider a pull-out rack shelf such as the the ARPOT1 Pullout Shelf from Odyssey Innovative Designs; B&H # ODARPOT1.

Q: 6. can this module be powered solely on USB? if possible

A: The Waldorf Blofeld - Desktop Synthesizer requires the included AC power supply and cannot be powered by USB.

Q: 7. Can I connect this synthesizer in a place where the mains voltage is 220 V at a frequency of 50 Hz?

A: The Korg KingKORG NEO Virtual Analog Synthesizer (BH # KOKINGKORNE) includes a 120 VAC/60 Hz AC power adapter that features a twin-bladed, North America-style AC outlet plug.

Q: 8. Does this synth accept power over usb?

A: It does not accept power over usb. These are the power options:9V DC external power supply (included)6 x AA batteries (optional)

Q: 9. Is MGear sustain pedal compatible with this keyboard?

A: The JUNO-DS88 is designed to use with Roland DP style damper pedals, but you can reverse the polarity within the system settings to allow use with any manufacturer's pedal. ----------------------------------------------------We have no references for M-Gear sustain pedals, but this synth is compatible with most sustain pedals from M-Audio, Roland, Auray, Behringer, Korg Quik-Lok, On-Stage, and other 3rd party manufacturer's. We offer a wide selection on the webpage for the Juno synth under the ACCESSORIES tab.

Q: 10. Is the output stereo or mono?

A: The output jack is a 1/4" TS connector which sends a mono signal and uses a standard instrument cable.
