I was having a similar issue as you, as well as being able to hear the oscillators droning in the background at high pitch-range and I could also hear the envelopes clicking in the background. I could hear all of this with the main volume all the way down on my unit! Weird. I'm using an old 4-track ...

BUMP! I'm having the same problem with my Matriarch. For instance, plugging either of the envelopes out into an oscillator pitch in will raise the pitch just shy of a semi-tone with the envelope inactive. It would be nice if the envelopes would output 0 volts until triggered. . . Anyone have a clue ...

If you feed the the filter back on itself without inverting, it will distort and become unstable. This is a classic Minimoog trick. Patch the MM headphone output into the external input. There are a lot of ways the accomplish filter feedback with the Matriarch, both inverted and non-inverted. I figu...

Plug a saw wave into the noise mix in, and it will turn into a ramp wave at the output of the mixer. The signal is flipped 180 degrees. So if you plug osc 1 into the noise mix and turn up osc 1 mix to the same level, they'll cancel each other out. Having an inverted mixer input can be handy for crea...

Just noticed that the noise input is inverted from the rest of the mixer inputs when trying the "Dirty Duo" patch from the patchbook. Haven't noticed any mention of this in the manual or reviews. Doesn't matter TOO much, I was getting more resonance rather than filter drive, suggesting neg...

Round-robin mode needs to be enabled in global settings. My brand-new Matriarch (as of last week) did not have this setting turned on by default, even though the manual says that it is. Check page 68 of the manual on how to enable round-robin.
