matriarch cluster glide feature request
Posted: Sat May 10, 2025 12:53 am
Mono/Poly's portamento is such that each VCO has its own RC circuit, with deliberately (wildly) different time constants. So all 4 VCOs glide at different rates. I'm calling this cluster glide for lack of a better term, as opposed to unison glide as we have on Matriarch. Sometimes annoying, sometimes nice.
It's evident that Matriarch's VCOs have independent glide as well: each 'voice' glides independently in paraphonic modes. The glide time/rate is identical for each VCO. In fact, it's so perfectly identical that I suspect that it's done in software rather than using an OTA linear glide circuit + RC lag circuit for each VCO (as if having 3 glide types wasn't enough of a hint). Anyway, If it's indeed done in software, then it can be updated.
So, perhaps it would be nice to add a feature where each VCO could have its own glide time with a controllable amount of deviation from none, to rich analog goodness, to Mono/Poly cluster chaos.
