Re: "Bring back the hardware units!" / Reintroduce Moogerfoogers, make them better?

I think stereo effects would demand proper L/R cv inputs, which would shoot prices upwards. If they just mult the cv to control both sides then I’d think surely people will complain. Well said on both points. I still own three of my Moogerfoogers, though I've had more. I now own a Matriarch and had...

"Bring back the hardware units!" / Reintroduce Moogerfoogers, make them better?

The Moogerfooger plug-ins are fantastic. I purchased the pack and have started incorporating them in my projects. They sound great, very close to the original units, and best of all, they work in STEREO. Honestly, I'd rather just use the plug-ins rather than hooking up one of the hardware Moogerfoog...

MF Delay troubleshooting: which BBD?

Hello folks. I sold my Minifooger MF Delay to someone else through Reverb.com. The pedal stopped working for the buyer after using it a few times (it powers up and the drive knob still works). Sounds like a typical BBD chip failure. I'm trying to help out the buyer by suggesting a BBD for drop-in re...

Re: Matriarch Main Volume knob / output headroom

A few things I've learned since originally posting this: With the Resonance knobs down, playing really low notes in LP / LP mode will FLOOD the output with so much bass that I have to dial the Master volume back to 11:00-12:00. Parallel LP / HP mode is also exceedingly loud, and I have to push the M...

Matriarch 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 Firmware, deactivate ARP/SEQ after MIDI input

Issue found with Matriarch 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 firmware: If I run a MIDI sequence to the synth from my DAW, then stop running it and/or disconnect the cable, the synth will NOT operate its own arpeggiator/sequencer at all. I can pluck around on the keys as usual, but I have to turn the power off and th...

Re: Matriarch Main Volume knob / output headroom

Posted this elsewhere, but when I switched from TS to TRS cables I got way more signal level and way less noise in my mixer. YMMV. I use a QU-16. So it's now TRS to TRS, which is how the One works best too. Oh gosh! I didn't even think of that. I'm a guitarist (switching over to synths), so TS cabl...

Re: Matriarch Issues

Sustain pedal. I'm not 100% sure about duophonic and paraphonic modes, but in monophonic mode, the sustain pedal will returns to the first note played upon release. For example, if I'm playing a G note, press down and hold on the sustain pedal, then release my finger (sustain pedal is working), then...

Matriarch Main Volume knob / output headroom

Hello all, I received my Matriarch (#349) late last week, and I've had a few days to play with it. I LOVE this synth. It's seriously incredible, and if I'm being honest, quite intimidating because there's so much available. I'm fully committed to learning and mastering this synth. However, I have on...
