Moog Labyrinth In-Depth Review


Host Ziv Eliraz – In his latest loopop video – takes an in-depth look at the Moog Labyrinth synthesizer, the fifth synthesizer in the company’s line of monophonic synths in Eurorack/standalone format.

Eliraz digs into the sequencer first, demonstrating how you can control the level of randomness and also the scale of sequences. He also demonstrates how you can do this in live performance, interactively generating new sequences and then, if you like, locking them in.

Next, he dives into the Labyrinth’s synth voice, explaining how it’s unique among Moog’s synthesizers and how its features contribute the its unique sound.

Finally, Eliraz shares his take on the pros and cons of the Moog Labyrinth. “There’s not much to compare this to,” he notes, adding that you’d spend a lot more trying to build similar functionality using individual Eurorack modules, software options wouldn’t provide the Labyrinth’s hands on control.

He also notes that the “Labyrinth sounds completely different from any other Moog.”
