Moog Matriarch – Dark Side Of The M (50 Patches by Anton Anru)

Description

“Dark Side Of The M” is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synthesizer Moog Matriarch. It includes: 12 Arps, 10 Leads, 11 Basses, 8 Drones, 9 Chords.

🌌 In this soundset, I aimed to create dark timbres on the edge between experimental and usable. The Matriarch offers excellent possibilities for this: gritty delay tones, the ability to modulate parameters with audio‑rate sources, filter and amplifier overdrive and distortion, FM and AM, and of course, flexible, complex patching.

This also allowed me to explore new preset categories I hadn’t used before—dark, deep Drones and Chords, where a single held key produces intervals.

📚 This soundset is included in MATRIARCH BUNDLE (200 Patches) with a 25% discount.

🧿 The bank covers a wide range of tones: warm, deep, bright, metallic, expressive, dark, evolving, detuned, inharmonic, noisy, distorted, and others.

The presets vary in complexity: some are simpler and will work in any track or genre, while others are experimental and will make your tracks sound unique.

💎 The soundset is suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Funk, Disco, Pop, Acid, Hardcore, IDM, Drum’n’Bass, Breaks, Breakbeat, Trap, Electro, Ambient, Dubstep, EDM, Synth-Pop and others.

📔 The soundset is presented in PDF format. Each page contains notes explaining how the patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making conscious adjustments, you can explore the depth of the synth.

💽 Each patch includes an audio example, demonstrating how it’s supposed to sound. These examples use only the Matriarch Delay without external effects.

To recreate these presets, you’ll need up to 16 patch cords, including long ones.
Make sure your firmware is v1.2.3 or higher for full compatibility with my presets.
