Re: Tuning issues, Matriarch

Glad it helped! Actually, when I made that post I eventually had to return it because the tuning kept going down a whole-step, but my replacement's tuning is very stable.

Matriarch OSC bleed, Clock Ticking, Speaker Popping on Power = Bad PSU

I've seen a few random posts on the web about this, but I thought I'd share here in case people are frustrated with noise bleeding from the Matriarch (and also Grandmother I believe but I don't own a grandma). I recently added a Roland SP-404MkII to my rig for live shows, and noticed OSC bleed and c...

Re: Matriarch - staccato playing in paraphonic modes

If Moog can make the gate variable in a global setting then I'm all for it, but its current firmware setting makes it feel sluggish to play. It works great for me at 1.1.0 so I guess I'll just stay there until the next update.

Re: Matriarch - staccato playing in paraphonic modes

Correct. I just flashed 1.3 and went back to 1.1. Such a bummer.

Re: Matriarch - staccato playing in paraphonic modes

I think I've always had 1.2.3 flashed on my Matriarch, but I gotta say, I went down to 1.1.0 and the response and articulation is SO much better. Moog should absolutely fix 1.2.3, but I'm not going to let buggy firmware prevent me from enjoying the sound of this synth.

Re: Matriarch Filter Open, Audio missing top end

You could bypass the filter by patching the mixer output into the Amp Envelope and see if it sounds brighter to you that way.

Re: New Matriarch owner with an unusual request.

I agree that the sub-range isn't really there on the Matriarch, but that's OK with me because if I need some rumbling sub bass I'll reach for the Softube's Model 84 Juno VST. That said, I do boost the sub-frequencies on the Matriarch with Little Labs VOG in my UA Apollo. To me, the Matriarch is all ...

Re: Matriarch - Global Setting "Delayed Keyboard Octave Shift" has no effect

Same issue over here, running 1.2.3. Hope it gets fixed soon because it's fun effect to hold a high chord in 4-voice paraphonic unison and gliss down to a low note.

Re: Tuning issues, Matriarch (fixed)

I managed to fix my tuning issues by calibrating and updating the firmware in this order: 1. Calibrate the oscillators. Do not restart synth! 2. Calibrate pots. Do not restart! 3. Update Firmware. It reboots on its own, but it should be safe to power off and on. The Matriarch has been stable for sev...

Did you resolve your issue? I'm having the same problem with mine.

Tuning issues, Matriarch

Hey everyone, I received my Matriarch yesterday, and am noticing some tuning problems despite updating the firmware, retuning and calibrating the pots as listed on Sweetwater. Sometimes I can trick it to play C in tune, but typically it goes down a whole-step and the fine-tune knob sometimes doesn't...
