Matriarch

The title says it all…Was exploring a patch called “Extra Life” from one of the moog semi-modular patch books. Decided to try to do something similar on the Matriarch.

One of my Favourite patches! Demo and Tutorial/Walkthrough Patch

Overview: 2 Frequency Modulated Oscillators with Pulse Width Modulation of the Modulation Oscillators. Arpeggiator is clocked by the LFO. Arpeggiator Pitch is Multed and Offset for the second voice. Clock divisions of Arpeggiator are possible and delay sync yields some interesting glitches. Use VCA Split mode for Independent Filter and VCA controls.

Used: Just a Moog Matriarch

I was playing with my old Roland D-550 and was inspired to try an analog version on my Moog Matriarch. Obviously…the D-550 uses PCM digital waves, so it’s not meant as a comparison. Just a fun experiment.
