Moog Matriarch with Hinako Omori

Join composer/producer Hinako Omori as she demonstrates performance and recording techniques with her instrument of choice - the Moog Matriarch - a semi-modular 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer. Omori began her musical path learning classical piano, later training as a sound engineer, and has since moved into working with analogue synths. Previous to releasing her own solo material she toured with and played on records by a raft of critically acclaimed musicians, including Kae Tempest, Georgia and many others.
This session is part of Saffron's 7 Days of Sound event and has been supported by Moog:

Aside from the fact that Hinako has really melded delightfully with the Matriarch - loving the demo with all those live layers, this video has become one of my favourites in the ASMR genre… such a relaxed demo accompanied by Hinako’s soothing voice.

[@emuhunter1]

Total ASMR vibes yeah! Not sure if it's intentional or not but it's very very relaxing :)

[@Skibbityboo0580]

I am getting mine in a couple weeks, your video is very informative, and I will be referencing it for when I start playing it. Thanks so much for taking the time!

[@chitlun]

You’ll not be disappointed… Enjoy!

[@timburdsey]

You have the most wonderful, calm presentational manner, you really know your stuff, and - my word do you know your way around that Matriarch! More power to you. I only discovered your channel today and I’m already hooked!

[@davidl8094]

Nicely done and informative...love the casual approach to demonstrating an amazing instrument with expertise..

[@187onasimp]

This was very thorough and a much appreciated look at the Matriarch I enjoyed it. It seems like everyone approaches this synth differently depending on their playing style. Still learning how to navigate this synth. I hope the time spent learning every little nuance of it will pay off in the end.

[@davidmarks6612]

Thanks for the thorough walk-through! Even though I've owned the Matriarch for a while, I seek out reviews and performances for new insights and inspiration. I enjoyed seeing your connection with this instrument, and watching you build patches and connect with external devices. Regarding oscillator pitch knobs (10:50), there is a global setting (C#1) that allows you to set the dials from 0 to 24 semi-tones. I keep mine set at an octave, and I also changed my pitch bend knob (G#0) to the same range.

[@mas3974]

Beautiful sounds. Great composing too

[@MIssSarahKB]

Thanks for this excellent overview, a great approach and fab reference material for when my Matriarch arrives in a couple of days. 😊

[@taiharbison1779]

Hi Hinako, wonderful video! Thank you

[@unibox8940]

Really fantastic sound!I own a grandmother and I have a general picture of a Moog synthesizer but the matriarch it's something else especially in drone mode.

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Awesome, this really has made me want one more n more now.

[@lktlkt]

That was awesome! thanks!

[@maarzt]

thank you!

[@wth5468]

Hinako is incredible!

[@markwhittaker6321]

This is a really fantastic demonstration of the Matriarch.

[@rabbitnoize]

I love this synth, very nice demo. If moog released a rack version, 4 or 5U, 3 vco paraphonic, filter overdrive, the delay module, a few modulation tricks and most important, no screens or presets, just old school…damn that would be a dream synth.

[@franzunger2386]

awesome!!!

[@Smoothhh_One]

I’m saving my Pennies for this. I can’t wait to embark on this rabbit hole of a synth

[@christopherpederson1021]

The sequencer is the best part of this synth

[@LoserHouse]

Subarashi, arigato!

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

I have replayed the loop segment so many times ! Yum..So good. What looper pedal do you use?

[@Tiger.Arcade]

The demo was fantastic and shows your knowledge and expertise. How were you looping it or with what?

[@ummagumma33]

respect for that deckard's

[@CriusDigital]

34:20 ❤

[@kenjikenji2003]

👍🏽

[@station2station544]

21:12 This is the sound that seems to come out of the Matriarch more than any other sound. Matriarch owners somehow always end up making the same sound: Yeah it's got an array of VCO shapes and filter options, but for some reason if you peruse KZbin or instagram, everyone makes this sound.

[@mastermachetier5594]

I am curious how you got it to drone and arpeggiate at the same time

[@christdolphin69]

the mammy

[@neureeves]

oh im missing my matriarch, that delay... oh my

[@neureeves]

That DEMO was so Nice!

[@NachtSchreck13]

Great ASMR -inducing voice and musical content

[@bkhiphopnews4030]

how does it compare to the sub 37???????

[@yeppy013]

18:51 Is the reverb coming straight from the Matriarch or from external source??? or is that just delay? it somehow sounds like a reverb

[@pbidd]

That's the delay :) it's a lot of fun to play with

[@noisearkitekt]

This is really wonderful. I have the Matriarch as well and it easily one of my favorite to go to synths. The soundscape is truly endless with the Matriarch. I am now subscribing to your channel and please do stop by my NOISE ARKITEKT channel to have a look and listen to my noise explorations and sound designs. I will be looking out for more incredible sounds and compositions coming from your studio.

[@michaels8607]

Here is when it becomes real about how to really use a synth...

[@Seekthetruth3000]

No sine wave!?

[@86davy]

I want this so bad, it’s like a built in semi Modular thang,, too bad it costs more than a decent condition used Honda civic (-_-,)

[@dvamateur]

I wonder if Moog is going to continue the development of this semi-modular synthesizer series line. I would be interested in a Moog Patriarch, which would have 8 main oscillators, 2 oscillators per voice, which would provide one with 4 voices of polyphony, and 8 voices of paraphony. It would also have 4 envelopes, and 2 LFO's. To accommodate all these extra components, it would have a wider chassis, also accommodating a 6-octave keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch licensed from AMS. The price would sit somewhere between the Matriarch and the Moog One. Unless, Moog has an agreement with Sequential not to step over their Prophet-5/Prophet-10 territory price range territory.

[@pairadeau]

A Moog Patriarch would have to be inferior for very obvious reasons. What you're describing is the Moog Goddess.

[@dvamateur]

@@pairadeau Goddess is too feminine of a name. Patriarch would be best.

[@channeloram]

@@dvamateur oh ok..would you settle for Moog Daddy?

[@KIDJAAP]

@@channeloram lmfao 😂😂😂 I’d buy that

[@ramiromartinez]

congratz !you unlocked me a new synth need

[@cotswolddroner7714]

Why aree we whispering?

[@annother3350]

Dont wake baby up!

[@andrewrichardsuk]

And it is Moog... not Mowg!.... Otherwise it would be spelt Mowg! not MOOG! ... and good god hon... Stop tryin to talk posh!

[@dodgingrain3695]

ugh... powerpoint? really!? Also please change your goals from promoting certain genders to promoting artists regardless of gender!

[@TheCanadianDreamEvergreen]

You talk to much…. Just play the thing 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mackmccord3743]

You could always click on to the next video. This was for the people that wanted to hear her talk in details about the synth...
