How Deep Does the Rabbit Hole Go?

Labyrinth, a semi-modular instrument and idea machine, discovers patterns, layers, and textures both familiar and unheard. 

Two generative sequencers bring to life sounds that bloom over time, letting you control their evolution and scale, then play them off of each other for striking polymetric melodies. With parallel analog signal paths, this unique instrument shines when adding color to the static backdrop of a drum pattern or bassline.

Fully capable of standing on its own, or adding depth to your existing rack, it’s equally at home in a live set or at the center of a humble bedroom studio. Labyrinth is the lightning in a bottle that drives a studio session deeper into undiscovered creative caverns.

Enter the Moog Labyrinth

Step inside the sonic hall of mirrors of Labyrinth with four distinctive electronic artists. These compositions were written and performed inside each artist’s personal creative space, demonstrating how they use Labyrinth as part of their larger production setups. Follow Satoshi Tomiie, Antenes, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and Gladstone Deluxe down the rabbit hole as they explore the endlessly forking paths of Labyrinth.

From Percussive Inspiration to Generative Innovation

Inspired by classic percussion synthesizers and modern generative techniques, Labyrinth combines a newly designed voltage-controlled wavefolder with a state-variable filter, allowing for both additive and subtractive synthesis. This approach enables users to create rich, evolving textures and dynamic sequences. The dual sequencers, inspired by shift register sequences commonly found in Eurorack systems, offer intuitive and flexible control over melodic and rhythmic patterns.

Twist and Curve Through a Winding Path of Sound

The beating heart of Labyrinth is a robust dual sequencer, which uses chance operations to construct two unique eight-step paths which twist and curve around each other, forming a mesmerizing path of sound. With a comprehensive patch bay, Labyrinth can be synced via analog clock or MIDI while processing, directing, and being influenced by other kit.

Key Features

Sine wave oscillators, ring modulators, through-zero FM, and saturating mixers give Labyrinth an unconventional yet classic Moog sound

A state-variable filter provides a new twist on the Moog sound, morphing from lowpass to bandpass

A diode-transistor hybrid wavefolder that sounds surprisingly smooth

Creative patching possibilities for performance alongside other instruments

An infinite spiral of percussive or melodic sequences that bloom over time
