Analogue semi-modular synthesiser moog Labyrinth — monophonic, 20-in/12-out patchbay, sequencer, natural wood

The moog Labyrinth is a semi-modular analogue monophonic synthesiser designed for hands-on sound design and compact studio setups. It integrates a step sequencer with a 20-input / 12-output patchbay for flexible signal and modulation routing, resonance filtering for tonal shaping, potentiometer and button controls for immediate parameter access, a 6.35 mm headphone output for monitoring, and a natural wood finish. The unit runs from the supplied DC adapter (100–240 V) and combines portable dimensions (326 × 143 × 107 mm) with a lightweight construction of approximately 1.5 kg.

Advantages

The Labyrinth offers semi-modular architecture that allows both use without patching and deep custom routing via the extensive patchbay, enabling creative signal flow and modulation options. Its integrated sequencer simplifies pattern creation and live performance, while resonance filtering and discrete control elements provide precise timbral adjustment. Compact size and low power consumption make it suitable for desktop rigs and mobile setups. The natural wood finish provides a durable, tactile surface and a classic appearance.

Suitable for

• Sound design and experimental synthesis
• Home studios and desktop production setups
• Live performance and sequencing-based arrangements
• Educational use for modular synthesis techniques

How to use

Connect the supplied DC adapter to the DC-in jack and place the Labyrinth on a stable surface. For immediate use without patching, set the default signal path using the front-panel controls and play or sequence notes via the sequencer. To access modular-style routing, use patch cables to connect the 20 inputs and 12 outputs according to the desired signal or modulation flow; refer to the user manual for patching examples and signal routing diagrams. Monitor sound through the 6.35 mm headphone output or route the main outputs (via patchbay) to external mixers or audio interfaces.

Recommendations

Use the semi-modular workflow to experiment: begin with the factory default signal path, then gradually introduce patch connections from the sequencer, control voltages, and filter modulation to explore timbral variations. Keep the unit on a non-conductive surface, avoid opening the housing, and use the supplied adapter rated for 100–240 V to ensure stable operation.
