2k is very reasonable for a professional-grade instrument. You can easily drop that on a good saxophone or cello. The Matriarch is a steal for what you get.
Great demo, good playing. After all my defending of the B model D, I had some time to kill at a music store today and spent a fair bit of it playing/checking out a Moog Matriarch. I came away very impressed. Easy to get some immense sounds from it, heaps of options. Mucho spendy but you get that. Appropo to nothing, as impressed as I was with the Moog, I came away head over heels in love with the Sequential Pro 3.
No imo , the thing is the Model D drives the filter directly with high gain transistors in the ladder , despite what people wanna say this does effect the sound even before the vca . Anyways quickly getting to the point its not about how many oscillators stacked will sound the same more the entire signal path and gain stages. Dont forget the Matriarch has a CP3 mixer gives distinct overdrive characteristics before it hits the filter which I think is a probably a similar affair to the voyager .
The problem with many comparisons, is they just do raw tones. This cumulative addition is more important and this video shows. I even done the same with my Minimoog and the B Model D, close on raw, but the Moog quickly moves away when dialling in a patch. Be nice if you uploaded your Matriarch patch. I love mine too.
Exactly!! So many people over look this. The raw saw tooth of a vst can sound like the real deal. But when you make actual interesting patches and turn knobs. You quickly can hear what’s missing.
I get the desire for the OG. Still, I cannot imagine ponying up for one when a Matriarch can be had for under $2k. I keep telling myself the Monopoly has me more or less covered there, but deep down I know it isn't true...
Thank you for doing this demo. Both sound very nice in their own way. Great synths!!! I have the Matriarch but would also like to own a Minimoog just as you would. However, if I find myself simply unable to obtain one or decide not to get one for whatever reason, the Behringer still sounds pretty darn good and might be another possible option. I keep saying this to myself (because the Behringer Model D does sound very good) but at the end of the day, the Behringer Model D simply isn't a Minimoog. I've had my hands on both and the difference in the experience I got from playing each of them is night and day!!! Get a real Minimoog if you can!!! It expensive. Yeah, I know. However, I honestly feel it is definitely worth it. Those who have never touched a Minimoog may think differently. I've played with one. So, I'm speaking from my own personal experience. The feel, look, and sound of the real thing is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Behringer is brigher BUT if you use the Eurorack outs on Matriarch it is just as bright. For whatever reason, master outs of Matriarch are darker than its Eurorack outs.
I have a behringer polyD and a 1974 mini moog.. the sonic differences between them is minimal, 95% of the time they are identical and that 5% is certainly not worth the huge premium you have to pay for a mini… also the behringer has many other features the mini doesn’t and is a far more flexible synth… I’m very happy with the PolyD, less so with the mini.
I don’t agree, also have both: the difference is very clear all over . Also the moog grandmother btw is a vastly superior synth soundwise and regarding interface quality compared to the behringer .( point)
The sound is identical between Model D and Boog. The Matriarch has more options with patching and extra oscillators and a different mixer, but sounds very close to the Boog as well The overdrive on the Matriarch is completely different though and in a class of its own…..and the delay is wicked
it would be more clear if you compared minimoog and model d ... it has no sens to compare a copy of minimoog with a recent moog especially talking aubout pwm that even the minimoog does not have [ and model d ] and hope they will sound exactly the same

Need that Matriarch now that I know it’s a supercharged MiniMoog
I just watched this on UA-cam, and man, that stereo delay on the Matriarch really pops out in the transfer! I like it, but was surprised!
Wow. They both sound pretty awesome and funky to me.
Matriarch has that extra character that’s completely absent from the Behringer, something in the harmonics just has life to it. Great comparison
Nice comparison, thanks. Love the Matriarch.
Which Novation controller is that? How is the keybed feel?
Oscillators sound similar with different character, but the stereo effects from the Matriarchs filter and delay sections are on another level.
Behringer Model D is superb.
I definitely noticed the cheaper build quality of the behringer. Some of the pots are starting to give that scratchy sound

I love my Pro 3 as well! Super flexible synth for sure!
Great demo literally
Do you think that multiple Behringer Model Ds would give the similar sound to 4 Oscillators on the Matriach ? Stereo might still an issue.

Have fun tuning multiple Model Ds, as well … 😏

Nice video. What were the patch cables doing on the Matriarch? Curious how it compares to no patch cables

Something only a non-musician would say.
