Hi! If I want to sequence matriarch via CV, what patch point do I use for pitch and gate?
I see there are inputs on each oscillators, but are they normaled together or do I need to mult to get four copies so that I patch into all of the oscillators or is there a better input.

Same with gate, do I need to mult into both envelopes or is there a single point to go into (or are the two envelopes normaled?)

Yes, one voice one pitch.

Yes.

Think of CV as a 1:1 connection. Nothing automatic or embedded control like MIDI.
Only way to spread the CV value to several targets is by sequencing (stackable plug-in cables) or by distributing (CV mult panel). In all cases the voltage can drop over several interim stations.

I tested and it looks like the following are normalled (no need to mult):
osc pitch in is normalled to the osc to the right (but none of the other osc points like PWM or lin FM)
So patching into osc1 sets the pitch for all 4.

Filter CV1 in is normalled to filter CV2 in. (maybe also vice versa, I didn't check)

Trigger in on env1 will trigger env2 as well

I stand corrected: It is exactly as you describe.
I derived my answer from the GM, where each of its OSC pitch control is not normalled.

Actually the Env trigger ins are not normalled, I was wrong about that part.
