Moog Music has announced the new version of the Matriarch and Grandmother keyboards. Moog goes back to black with new Dark Series Grandmother and Matriarch semi-modular analogue synths.
The Moog Grandmother and Matriarch are excellent semi-modular synths and both instruments are now available in new Dark Series liveries that pay tribute to the design of the classic Moog modular systems that inspired them.
If you dislike the patchwork styling, fear not, because it simply means that both the new monophonic Grandmother and more capable paraphonic Matriarch are now available in a sleek black finish, with none of the pastel coloring of the original models. In fact, the coloring made it easy to see the divide between each module.
In addition, as the Dark Series editions, Moog has also released new exploratory patches, and firmware for both synths, and protective cases, too.
On the opposite side, it appears that you will pay slightly more for the Dark Series models: the new Grandmother and for the new Matriarch.

You could argue that coloring are downsides to this but, I do not doubt that there are some musicians who will prefer this more subdued styling.
