I realize this is an old thread but, the wiring and effort involved to get aftertouch to vibrato to work on the Matriarch is a mess. - the aftertouch signal is way too strong - the LFO signals are way too strong - the attenuverters struggle to achieve the fine-resolution at minimal settings to tame ...

I would also test with the filter set to Stereo LP/LP and not Series HP/LP since you could be cutting off some of the low end with the HP, depending on the Spacing setting. I will say that the Matriarch ended up sounding softer than i imagined it would. If you stack the oscillators up and set mixer ...

Remove the bottom panel of the Matriarch. Locate the cutoff potentiometer. It is a small, blue potentiometer located on the main circuit board.... I hope this helps! Hi TingxoGamchu A small blue potentiometer, really? My qualified technician is having trouble locating it. He was able to remove the ...

I had that feeling too and now it seems certain. Can't believe all that power is already being wasted on synthesizer forum disinformation. Just before the firings too!

Turn Off Oscillator Pitch Tracking: To make an oscillator not track pitch, you can use the PITCH knob. Turn the PITCH knob all the way counterclockwise (fully left) for the oscillator you want to use as a drone or for modulation purposes. This effectively sets the oscillator to a fixed frequency, a...

I recorded a clip into Ableton from the Matriarch with varying velocity which i patched to modulate the envelope to filter amount. I was able to play and hear the velocity response, record the velocity into Ableton, and when i play the clip back from Ableton the MIDI velocity changes are reproduced....

Hello everyone. I'm deciding these days if buying or not the Matriarch, and this is THE dealbreaker for me, because I will not follow the line of full modular approach anymore, but I do like the workflow of this specific machine. Did you try the 1.3 version? Is the MIDI to CV working finally? thank...

I post this only to try to be helpful, but I don't have an issue with Midi Clock Sync. My Matriarch is conected via USB to Mac via Ableton. I have whatever the latest firmware is. Like if I press the play seq and hold button on the Moog, then press a note (either in Seq or Arp mode), it runs at spee...

I think you just turn it up! Triangles are always lower in volume than saws and squares because they have way less harmonics.

I just did a quick test and i seem to have the same result as you. With the cutoff at around 200hz, it seems like it's filtering everything out, though i noticed if i did play well down into the low keys i could begin to hear muffled bass. I isolated filter 2 (LP) and to be sure it wasn't just a res...

Someone from Moog tech told me that Logic did something different than Ableton and needed a slightly different setup, but I don't use Logic. Maybe that was their reasoning for not having any DAW setup instructions. I'm still kind of mad about that. Anyway, turning Local Control OFF for both the keyb...

It isn't just the oscillators beating against each other? Does turning down Osc 2 or 3 while keeping osc 1 up eliminate the phasing sound?

Yeah cool! I got lazy and just used an untracked oscillator from another synth to mod the Moog oscillators (Lin FM and also pitch), I really liked what sine waves were doing. I started going nuts modulating that modulating oscillator very widely and also the Moog's filters, sounded great!! I eventua...

I was just watching a video by Robe Music titled "Synth Nerds Only - Taming FM on Moog Matriarch" on YouTube ~ 3:00 and it looks like another way you could do it is to disable the pitch tracking of the oscillators by disabling local control of the keyboard and then wiring things back in fr...

Are you all not having problems using the Matriarch arp and sequencer in Ableton? I just could not get them to work properly at all with the default settings, both using the Hold button and not. Notes would stop triggering, cascade up, or cascade down. I was also having double triggering problems. F...
