Rarely do we hear “fun” in a tutorial as we do here, but when you said “ Now we’re learning something, right?” I fell off my chair. The mark of a great teacher is the combination of these two elements. Thank you for being such a gentle and patient soul. My Matriarch will now become a great partner.
Mr Cuckoo - I just wanted to say thank you for the years of teaching you've provided. Every new synth I get, your vids are the gospel. Everything from Octatrack to Matriarch I feel I owe you some beers. Cheers! Best TH-camr ever.
This is my favorite Matriarch video on TH-cam! I would love to see a Cuckoo video on the Moog One. It would probably last 8 hours, and I would binge watch the whole thing.
This is a wonderful tutorial I come from guitar and have had a long time interest to explore Moog especially since I recently lost a friend who has had a 70’s miniMoog D. For decades. When he passed away I helped his wife liquidate his collection of instruments and in so doing I made a commitment to myself to learn. About synthesizers. I started with a Moog Grandmother and within a few months I realized I needed a polysynth as I am just too used to chords as well as single notes and patching takes much time and experimentation. I am very grateful for videos like this as it keeps me going and wanting to learn more. The Matriarch is new to me, it arrived only a few days ago and I am ready to start the journey this is really helpful and makes it easy to grasp from a music point of view. Thanks for your time and insight.
Far and away the best Matriarch video. I have one of these beautiful instruments and watching this has enabled me to get so much more from it, fabulous stuff Mr Cuckoo
I love the special vibe you had at the beginning of the video when introducing this synth, as if you were talking about a very distinguished family member, that's a great feeling you shared!
Dude, you just sold so many Eurorack Zoias to pair with the Matriarchs everyone already owns. I know I’m getting one. I adore the Matriarch. I learned so much from your video. Thanks you!
Hey so happy to hear that, friend! I think the ZOIA is an amazing tool. This Eurorack version, the Euroburo, will be amazing once it launches later this year. I think to most semi modulars it could serve as a great solution-box.
@@truecuckoo Definitely sold one over here! Right now I'm looking for nice eurorack pairings for the Matriarch and this happened... Love to hear of more suggested eurorack pals for the Matriarch?
@@descrai Maybe a wavefolder and a low pass gate for some west coast spice to put into the mix? ;) That's at least what I would do. Having said wavefolders and LPG's but no Matriarch.... :p
I swapped out my GM (which I was only starting to get to grips with) for a Matriarch. Now I'm totally lost. I went from every other patching attempt being usable to 1 in a dozen being semi listenable. I intend to watch this video 50 times at least. Hopefully I'll be up to speed in a year.
This is going to end up being the most expensive one your tutorials talk me into adding to my set up... you've never steered me wrong, you always turn me onto the best gear
Check out the doepfer polyphonic modules for easy polyphonic options...they have quad vcas, quad adsr, and quad vcf. Mutable veils is also a really great quad vca
Really really nice creative demo. You explained so many things that weren't covered in the manual. My understanding of this synth was improved in magnitude like putting Krell IQ boosting contacts on my brainpan. The lack of stereo outs and pans on the mixer really bummed me out. Although Matriarch is jam packed with features so I shouldn't complain. And the sound is like going back to the Electronic Music Lab at at San Fransisco State. What an awesome synth. Mine is parked right below my Euro synths. Nice expansion with the patch point interfacing. Thanks Cuckoo!
I’ve manage to hold this one off for quite a while, but couldn’t contain myself any longer. After watching this my patience kind of evaporated. Thanks for the great sounds and tips 🙌
A few days ago I got a black matriarch. I will try to use my 2-pole to shape the sound of the noise. This synth sounds like a single sweet spot, but it is a lot of money for a (irreparable and China-made?) smd-circuitboard in a very pretty case. We will see, how many of them will still work in 30 years🖖😉
I have been listening to Lisa Bella Donna produce music on the Matriarch for years now and I am so blown away how similar your explorations sound to her music simply as a result of the extremely characteristic tone of the synth. Anyway, it was a joy to experience more of the Matriarch. Cheers!
Originally spurred on by Loopop's video last year, and now yours taking it even deeper and in different directions - not only did I learn some general synthesis things, you've reaffirmed my choice for the Matriarch to be my first big synth. The matrixbrute is lovely and technical; and The Minibrute 2S/microfreak I have from Arturia already are lovely - but there is just something about that Moog warmth and friendly sound. The DFAM and Mother 32 (and totally subharmonicon perhaps even first) will be best friends with this. I've got enough saved up, just no space right now, ah! Thanks again for this!
i find it so crazy how i spoke to you about getting a synth and in the end i ended up getting the moog matriarch and then the day i pick it up .. boom! the great cuckoo puts out a mega tutorial for it!!!!!!
I'm so glad I fired off this video! Excellent tutorial, plus your passion for the instrument was evident from that incredible intro! I've got the Matriarch and Grandmother on the way now, dark version. Gonna be my first hardware synths, so you can imagine the excitement! I've been waiting a long time for this. Thanks so much for all the amazing info, I know I'll be back for more!
It's always great to see Cuckoo with a smile on his face. Luckily, its not hard. My Matriarch makes me smile too. Great tutorial for a great instrument!
Fantastic video and techniques. I unfortunately had to return my Matriarch due to build quality issues and now have a Jupiter x, Hydrasynth and Seq pro3. Your video has me gassing gor a Matriarch again 😍😍
Cuckoo....your the best. I watched your tutorials on both the Elektron RYTM and the Octatrack. Those videos got me up and running and now my "work flow" is smooth and focused on those instruments. Now, the moment I decided to get the Moog Matriarch your video here comes along. I havent gotten the Matriarch yet, but watching this video has got me ready and excited to go to work once it arrives. I cant thank you enough for your videos. Your approach to tutorials are just perfect. Thank you so much :)
its the raw perfection of paching you can ever get into one single synth for shure. Its different to all those programable + poly synths.....its the holly grail from semi-modular patching (manually)
I've had my Matriarch for a few months and couldn't understand what the 4 Voice Paraphony was doing. You have made it so clear now. It dos take a little getting use to it but now at least I understand what is happening
Just got my Matriarch - something about the sound of these beauty that is so different from any other analog synth - the warmth, the richness, the feel, I don't think the word to describe it has been invented yet. Although - maybe it has. The word....is Moog....
When I first saw the Matriarch, and the way it was laid out with colored modules, and patch points, I said to myself. "This is an electronic music music laboratory". My small gripes about it are no sine wave on the oscillators except osc 1. Also the mixer is not in stereo. I don't understand this because everything from the mixer on is in stereo. Do you see a way to patch it to bring the mixer into stereo? Maybe by using the back panel to front panel at all?
Yeah it's weird how Moog typically don't work with sine waves. I think since Moog is renowned for their filters, and it doesn't make any sense applying a filter to a sine wave, perhaps they've just typically not done much in the sine wave territory because of that. But to me as an FM synth lover, I find sine waves essential. And quite beautiful on their own too.
very inspiring tutorial. thank you. 8:12 multi-trig demonstration very good. 11:37 paraphonic mode demo makes much more sense to me now. like an auto-arpeggiator for chords. sounds great. 17:30 combined resonance is a cool idea. I wonder if my MIDI-synced grandmother and mother-32 can make a similar effect. 20:41 great choice of timbres. sounds amazing; like an 80s video game church organ from Castlevania. 36:15 live changes to the recorded sequence is very cool.
Hello True Cuckoo, I wanted to thank you for this video tutorial, it is the most complete and calmly explained video, thank you very much for all the detail and work that it took you to record it, a hug from Chile
Lovely video thanks for taking the time to show some of this synths awesome sonic journeys. Really tempted to pull the trigger on this synth, been saving up for ages and some many new synths out recently for about £2000 🙄 too many choices. I love the sounds but i think no presets available ?
Hi! Is it possible to get the Matriarch to play notes in the correct order (no voicings, low is left, high is right) when playing chords? There are several options in the deep menu I read about...I like the randomness when playing chords but I also would like to use it only when I want to. And switching the oscillators to the same octave and waveform wouldn't be a good solution...maaaany thanks in advance!!!
Great Video! I always love the energy you bring to your demos and tutorials. I need help deciding on my next purchase; should I go with a matriarch or buy the subharmonicon to fill my rack and then I also can get a digitakt on the side?
The Subharmonicon is a very niche instrument. It's two 4 step sequencers take very deliberate intention. I would say the matriarch is more versatile. I have both. That being said, I did get two DFAMs to sync to the two Subharmonicon clocks to make polyrhymic drums.
I’d like to see a mega tutorial where the mirror gets progressively dirtier until the end of the episode where it’s covered and we can barely see your face.
Yeah I like the colour scheme. It’s grainy matte as mentioned here in the thread. It definitely gives it a certain vibe. Like a fun friend. I’m stoked they designed their Grandma and Matriarch this way. Makes it feel much more approachable and less intimidating in my opinion.
I have the Pro 3 and I like it a lot, but I have to admit that I come back to this and the Loopop review and always feel maybe the Matriarch would have been an even better choice. There's something inspiring about the patching interface. Plus, four note paraphony is a lot of fun.
@@thebadterrorists5323 I'm not fixated on any particular sound. The Pro 3 has fantastic capabilities with the third oscillator, three filters and so on. It sounds fantastic. For me, what appeals about the Matriarch is quite simply the interface.
Thanks a lot for truly entertaining and insightful video! I love the metroid homage and will make an effort trying to recreate your patch/performance as it was EPIC!
Absolute dream synth and (relatively speaking) fairly affordable for what you get. I'm thinking of getting a Minilogue XD but tempted to save up for another 6-12 months and get this. Amazing sounding synth with such great creative potential. Thanks for doing this video, really whet appetite!
It’s inspiring when tutorials are approached from a musician’s point of view versus ticking off boxes on a marketing checklist.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you!
Someone who's not afraid to say "this is so much fun" and "this makes me feel..." Isn't that what it's all about?
@@samecoff2788 Absolutely bro
Bro is using a mirror. He is so analog I love it. Never change!
You should make a patch book like the one that comes with the matriarch and put it on your online store!
Rarely do we hear “fun” in a tutorial as we do here, but when you said “ Now we’re learning something, right?” I fell off my chair. The mark of a great teacher is the combination of these two elements. Thank you for being such a gentle and patient soul. My Matriarch will now become a great partner.

Probably the best synth on the market right now. I love the layout and color scheme, it is really easy to understand what's going on soundwise.
Bro, I don't care what any one says, it's cute. It's cute as hell. I'm gonna put a little cactus next mine. Yeaaaah.
Now I want a little cactus next to mine too lol
I just want a really nice cactus now.
Is a cactus required now? Ok. I got a Matriarch Dark... what do you suggest?

Now this is the way to demo a synth. Done with love and interest too. That makes a lot of difference.
I don’t why I laughed soooo hard when cuckoo said “the mother, the mother of all...mothers?”
🤣
I've been toying around with my matriarch for a couple of months now and learned a heap from watching this. Quality content!
Thank you so much Erik! 🙏🏼
That distorted filter sounds so good
Just got one and a cuckoo mega tutorial is exactly what I need in my life!

Cuckoo: *Makes a fat and juicy tone from scratch with patches and plays a sick little riff with it*
Cuckoo: "Cool"
I'm thinking of selling off a couple of my vintage synths to get one of these. Every sound I've heard from it is just absolutely gorgeous.
Sold a mono/poly for this and so glad I did. Miles better
Behringer have mono poly coming out soon to replace that one. I personally think it sounds fantastic. Probably cost about €2 as well
This is going to end up being the most expensive one your tutorials talk me into adding to my set up... you've never steered me wrong, you always turn me onto the best gear
NES vibes! I want the Matriarchhhh

Thanks for a really entertaining hour
Hello!From Greece best synthesizer ever!
I agree. I have had one for a week and can't leave it alone. Gorgeous gorgeous sound.
Nintendo melodies @59:06
Great tutorial, nice little sound design lesson too.

Pulling out the Euroburo… you're just showing off now. 😅
Lol. I thought about what I had, and I think the Euroburo was the most versatile module that I have. And it‘s also simple to frame in the shot.
Who else knows there’s a high chance you’ll never own one, but still enjoyed all 61 minutes of this video..
😅❤️
I got mine don’t be a baby lol
Just ordered mine!
Got the Matriarch the other day. Monthly payments from Sweetwater makes this a no brainer.
I want a Nord stage 4. I could probably get a couple of these for the price of one Nord LOL
The more you play the more I fall in love with this synth...
what an inspiring video. My matriarch has been sitting more than I would like and this video gave me some awesome ideas. Thanks a ton!
We love you, Cuckoo!!!
❤️ thank you!
This is amazing! My Matriarch is coming tomorrow and your video helped me understand this much more than any other videos. Thank you
Thank you for this joyous romp! So many cool sounds! I hope you will come back with even more videos as you explore sound creation with the Matriarch.
I keep going back to this for inspiration and tips! Thank you
Bravo! Great to see you working with a Moog.
I have 5 different moogs including a model D , but I really want the Matriarch!
@True Cuckoo did it growl uncontrollably or was the headroom large enough to tame when turned up? I watched another video before and he mentioned it.
I’m not sure what you mean(?) I haven’t experienced any uncontrollable growling...
@@truecuckoo like breaking up from half volume on up?
chazotron600 sounds normal to me 🤷🏽♀️
That mirror is a pure genius act 👏
I love how “stealing” is pretty much the official term for redirecting an output signal from a module.
I am also sick with this synthesizer disease Cockoo, like you🥰😊🙋♂️
Enjoy it!
Hello from Tallinn.
Great tutorial Cuckman! I was undecisive between the Sub37 and the Matriarch but know I know which one I go for.
When I first saw the Matriarch, and the way it was laid out with colored modules, and patch points, I said to myself. "This is an electronic music music laboratory".
My small gripes about it are no sine wave on the oscillators except osc 1. Also the mixer is not in stereo. I don't understand this because everything from the mixer on is in stereo. Do you see a way to patch it to bring the mixer into stereo? Maybe by using the back panel to front panel at all?
Yeah it's weird how Moog typically don't work with sine waves. I think since Moog is renowned for their filters, and it doesn't make any sense applying a filter to a sine wave, perhaps they've just typically not done much in the sine wave territory because of that. But to me as an FM synth lover, I find sine waves essential. And quite beautiful on their own too.
I'm really loving your vibes. Excellent showcase and props for using a mirror to show your face, that's really smart
We can feel the love you feel with this synth. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for such a joy. ❤️🌻
This might be my favorite video on the internet
I’ve acquired this synth for my studio and I love it 😻 thanks for inspiring me
Hey Cuckoo very nice review. Thank you ! Very completed. Can you do one for the Moog Sub 37?
Excellent as always. Will be getting one this week :) loving the Spring colors too
very inspiring tutorial. thank you.
8:12 multi-trig demonstration very good.
11:37 paraphonic mode demo makes much more sense to me now. like an auto-arpeggiator for chords. sounds great.
17:30 combined resonance is a cool idea. I wonder if my MIDI-synced grandmother and mother-32 can make a similar effect.

I wonder, what is your opinion of the color scheme used on the front panel?
If you've seen Cuckoo's art before you'll already be aware how much he likes vibrant colour schemes haha (My opinion: it looks great)
Art is subjective
They look amazing in person. The panels have a kind of grainy textured paint that looks really nice.
