Yes, it's all in the manual.

Did you know that you can overdrive the filters with the external signal loopback? And it sounds amazing.
1. Connect one of the Sub outs to the External Audio (EA) line input.
2. Mixer extended settings: route the EA signal from the EA line input to one of the filters
3. Output extended settings ...

I have Tektronix TBS2072, 2 channels, a huge screen and no fan.

In case you think about using M1 to process external CV, unfortunately the incoming signal will be filtered as well.

blue: the same square wave going through M1. (CV IN > Matrix > CV OUT)

red: M1 LFO1 square wave from CV OUT1 ...

It looks like this heavy filtering has only been applied to the CV output and not to the modulation signal in the Mod Matrix.

red: CV output: This is a close-up of Moog One LFO1 square wave at 5Hz,
blue: audio output: the same LFO modulates OSC1 Mixer, notice a 3ms delay, but also a much sharper ...

Moog One LFO1 square wave at 100Hz, the amplitude is only at half-range
Moog One LFO1 square wave at 150Hz, the signal becomes distorted. Moog One LFO1 square wave at 150Hz, a close-up

Moog One LFO1 square wave at 10Hz
Moog One LFO1 square wave at 25Hz
Moog One LFO1 square wave at 50Hz, notice the loss of amplitude for anything above 25Hz

With the new CV functionality, I've tested how M1's modulation signal looks like.
What you see below is oscilloscope screenshots of LFO1 set to a square wave. Notice that there is a substantial amount of smoothing applied and the square wave doesn't exactly look like you would expect. For comparison ...

just open an M1 preset in a text editor.

The calibration guide will tell you how and when to connect it.
From what I remember the TRS end goes to the headphones out and the two TS ends to the CV ins.

for reliability, I would get Fluke 117. It's expensive though.

I updated to 1.5, performed all the calibration routines, started playing the new Lisa Bella Donna's presets and... M1 has never sounded so good and alive. The sound feels cleaner and more open (brighter), with more detail. The new presets are so beautifully balanced. On the other hand the long time ...

I would love contrasting wood panels for Matriarch Dark Edition. A classic Moog look.

are you sure you're not triggering the same note twice? one local and a duplicate through MIDI?
Check your voice count when this happens.

I'm afraid you misunderstand the MIDI workflow with a DAW. You are not supposed to trigger your synths directly from the keyboard. You will end up with doubled notes -- the same note will be triggered by your keyboard and by your DAW. I suggest that you google "MIDI and 'Local Off'".
