I’m a complete newb to this type of routing stuff and was wondering if it’s at all possible to run audio from ableton into the matriarch to be able to use the matriarch’s filter/delay/etc. to record back into ableton? If it matters, I’m using an Apogee Duet 2 as my interface.
Yes you can. Check out the sends and return channels on Ableton Live, route them to a hardware I/O and erase any plugins there before beggining
The results can be amazing!
You can use the ext instrument input on the back of the Matriarch. Set the Matriarch to Drone and open all the filters and envelopes and make sure all your oscillators are set to zero - you can mix them if you prefer.
Then just add modulation and delay to taste.
This option works best with monophonic sounds. Also worth noting the ext input signal will get a boost from the matriarch so you might want to cut some input volume in Ableton first.
Hope that helps
