Taking Moog Matriarch Delay To The Next Level w/ the Elektron Analog Heat

The Moog Matriarch stereo delay is my favorite part of the synth but that doesn't mean it can't get even better with a little help. All those patch points scream for more gear to expand the synthesizer's capabilities and the obvious choice might be eurorack modules or perhaps a well-endowed semi-modular like the Behringer Neutron or but this isn't a tutorial or review on integrating eurorack with the Matriarch.

Instead, I went a different direction and got the Elektron Analog Heat. I had the Moog 500 series analog delay as well but preferred the Matriarch's. However, one thing I really miss is the 500 delay's drive control. Now the Heat may seem a bit extravagant just to add some distortion to the Matriarch's delay but before I got the Heat, I just finished a video with the Moog Matriarch + Elektron's Monomachine & would have loved a way to warm up the MnM's digital sound. Plus, it can be used as an audio interface when I'm not in the studio as well as be useful during mixing/mastering stages.

But I underestimated how useful the Heat would be in expanding the delay's, even the synth's sound palette itself. Beyond just adding saturation and distortion, the Heat's filter, envelopes & LFO are quite useful -- it's basically a synth without oscillators.
