Moog Matriarch & Make Noise Maths 03 – “Band in A Box”

April 14, 2022

Eurorack, Matriarch, Moog, Patches

Another “Extended” Matriarch video.

This patch builds on the last patch i posted. I’ve added drums to the patch by using the Matriarch’s 2nd LFO as a kick drum and Noise output as snare and hi hats.

Make Noise MATHS is working as a gate delay/clock divider. (it isn’t always perfect so can yield some unexpected and surprising results)

Gear Used:

Moog Matriarch

Make Noise Maths

Intellijel Quad VCA

Mutable Instruments Stages (as Voltage Controllable Envelope Generator)

FX:

Intellijel Springray II – Spring Reverb

Eventide Timefactor

(and of course the awesome Matriarch Delay)
