The name "Moog" is synonymous with synthesizers of the analog persuasion. From vintage classics to modern marvels, Moog has something cool to dig into. For someone stepping into the shallow end of the synthesizer pool, the complexity of modular signal flow can overwhelm their creative senses. With the Moog Grandmother, that issue is a problem of the past. Its foundation is a 32-note, velocity-sensitive Fatar keyboard triggering a semi-modular analog synth, which requires no patching to perform. It's built up by the inclusion of an arpeggiator
