Key Features and Capabilities
Mariana: The next evolution of the Moog Bass.
Born from the depths of our bass synthesis heritage, Mariana breathes new life into electronic sound design techniques for the modern musician or producer.
A powerful creative companion, Mariana is designed for intuitive audio layering and processing, combining the soul of Moog bass with user-friendly technology for all digital creators.
Optimized for punchy bass sounds, Mariana offers users select tones that span genres, easily shaping modulation paths to create complex tones
and create distinct sounds that fit perfectly into any mix, thanks to built-in effects and compression.
Exploring the key features of Mariana’s sound design.
Mariana includes all the tools you need to create deep, pulsating, professional bass sounds and more. Voice layering, parallel filtering,
Cross control, doubling and detuning, compression, dynamic saturation and surgical placement of stereo sounds are all built into Mariana for simplified
and reproducible access to your favorite bass chain—without the need to load up additional processors.
Modern Moog Bass:
Mariana uses Moog’s line of classic bass instruments (Minimoog Model D, Minitaur) to create a new bass synth with cutting-edge features for creating powerful basslines.
Double levels:
Two separate synthesizer layers allow you to create additional sound packages or independent duophonic playback that can be mixed together.
Deep modulation:
A wide range of modulation sources, destinations, controllers and functions with a deep mod matrix editor allows for complex modulation of almost every Mariana parameter.
Intuitive interface:
The beautiful, resizable, user-friendly interface makes it easy to control your bass performance.
Measurement and compress:
Built-in effects, compression and metering allow you to add extra expressiveness to your bass and bring it to a professional standard.
Interconnectedness:
Mariana can interact with Moogerfooger Effects plugins via virtual CV, creating a modular Moog ecosystem right in your DAW.
Flexibility:
Mariana can be used as a plug-in in your DAW, as a standalone application that you can control via MIDI without using the DAW,
and as an iPad app with an expressive on-screen keyboard controller.
Preset library:
Extensive library of presets covering a wide range of musical styles and genres,
provides users with a starting point to dive directly into music creation – or transform standard presets into something completely unique.
A look at bass synthesis in electronic music.
Synthesized bass has changed the way we hear and enjoy music for much of the last century.
Spanning genres and styles, Moog has been synonymous with electronic bass since the 1960s. Bernie Worrell’s Model D revolutionized funk music and paved the way for West Coast hip-hop.
Giorgio Moroder’s use of a Moog bass guitar to create Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” was a defining moment in disco.
Rush’s Geddy Lee created the archetypal prog rock sound with the Model D and Taurus.
Synthesized bass was an integral part of Trent Reznor’s sound (solo and with Nine Inch Nails), thanks in large part to his personal connection with the Minimoog Voyager.
The bass guitar has been the foundation of the sound and power of Moog instruments for decades. In a new video directed by actor, screenwriter, producer and comedian H.
By John Benjamin, Moog takes you on a journey through moments past and into the future of bass with a soundtrack created using all the sounds of Mariana.
