Moog Music Mariana v1.2.0

Mariana is a new software bass synthesizer from Moog Music, capable of reaching the deepest bass levels. Born from the depths of Moog Music’s legacy of bass synthesis, Mariana breathes new life into electronic sound design techniques for the modern musician or producer.

A powerful creative companion, Mariana is designed for intuitive layering and processing, combining the soul of Moog bass with user-friendly technology for all digital audio creators. Optimized for punchy bass sounds, Mariana allows users to select tones that span multiple genres, easily shape modulation paths to create complex tones and create distinct sounds that fit perfectly into any mix thanks to built-in effects and compression.

Mariana is a dual-layer synth that allows you to mix two completely different synth sounds that can complement each other dynamically or play duophonically. Each layer is built on two oscillators with precise and inventive control to ensure your bass tone cuts through the mix and stands out from the rest, while the sub-oscillator adds even more weight to the low-frequency range. 

Two Moog resonant filters and a third filter dedicated to the sub oscillator let you shape the sound by adding warmth, cutting high frequencies, or boosting resonance for more punch. Featuring stereo oscillators and crossover filter functions, Mariana is optimized to quickly fine-tune stereo content while maintaining a powerful mono-bass foundation.

Mariana includes all the tools you need to create deep, pulsating, professional bass sounds and more. Tone layering, parallel filtering, crossover control, doubling and detune, compression, dynamic saturation, and surgical stereo placement are all built into Mariana for streamlined, easy-to-call access to your favorite bass chain—without the need to load additional processors.

Modern Moog Bass

Mariana builds on classic Moog bass instruments (Minimoog Model D, Minitaur) to create a new bass synthesizer with advanced features for creating powerful bass lines.

Dual Layers

Two separate synth layers allow you to create additional sound stacks or independent duophonic playing that can be mixed.

Deep Modulation

A huge range of modulation sources, destinations, controllers, and functions with a deep mod matrix editor allows you to perform complex modulation of almost every Mariana parameter.

Intuitive Interface

A beautiful, scalable, and user-friendly interface that gives you easy control over your bass sound.

Metering and Compression

Built-in effects, compression, and metering let you add punch to your bass sounds and bring them to a professional standard.

Interconnectivity

Mariana can interface with Moogerfooger effects plug-ins via a virtual summary, creating a modular Moog ecosystem right in your DAW.

Flexibility

Mariana can be used as a plugin to your DAW, as a standalone app that can be controlled via MIDI without the need for a DAW, and as an iPad app with an expressive on-screen keyboard controller.

Preset Library

An extensive library of presets, covering a wide range of musical styles and genres, gives users a starting point to dive straight into music production or transform standard presets into something unique.
