Moog Music has released Labyrinth, a semi-modular analogue synthesiser ‘designed to inspire and elevate musical creativity through an endless journey of sonic rabbit holes’.
Departing from traditional Moog instruments, Labyrinth adopts a new voice architecture with unique oscillators, a different filter topology, wavefolding and parallel processing. This design also features unique dual intertwining generative sequencers to help inspire compositional ideas.
As part of Moog’s semi-modular family, Labyrinth stands out with dual generative sequencers and parallel voice architecture enable the creation of evolving soundscapes and intricate polymetric melodies. Moog reckons Labyrinth to be ‘an idea machine, offering limitless sonic potential that adapts to both live performances and studio sessions’.
In a compact 60HP format, Labyrinth can be used both as a standalone synthesiser and an integral part of larger Eurorack set-ups. Its flexible architecture allows musicians to add colour and depth to any musical arrangement, from ambient soundscapes to dynamic rhythmic patterns. The instrument’s patchbay facilitates extensive modulation and connectivity with other modular gear, making it a versatile addition to any set-up.
Inspired by classic percussion synthesisers and modern generative techniques, Labyrinth combines a voltage-controlled wavefolder and state-variable filter, allowing for both additive and subtractive synthesis. This approach enables users to create rich, evolving textures and dynamic sequences. The dual sequencers, inspired by shift register sequences commonly found in Eurorack systems, offer intuitive and flexible control over melodic and rhythmic patterns.
Key features:
- Dual Generative Sequencers.
- Parallel voice architecture.
- Comprehensive patchbay.
- Analogue and MIDI Sync.
‘Labyrinth is designed to be an engine of sonic exploration – it allows users to create evolving sequences and rich timbres,’ says Moog System Architect and Lead Hardware Engineer on Labyrinth, Rick Carl. ‘It’s like having a compositional companion that navigates through a labyrinth of sound, constantly reconfiguring and surprising you with new sonic landscapes.’
Labyrinth is now shipping to authorised dealers globally at a price of US$599.
