Pam Meets the Moog Matriarch
The basic idea behind this patch (and series of videos) is to find some interesting ways to expand on the (considerable) capabilities of the Matriarch by supplementing it with a few extra modules.
This is a short jam and tutorial patch for the Moog Matriarch featuring ALM Busy Circuits’ Pamela’s New Workout as a drum and pitch sequencer.
I’m also enlisting the help of Intellijel’s Bifold & Quadrax, Expert Sleepers’ Disting (as a filter in this patch), Doepfer’s A-138p Performance Mixer and the wonderfully useful Happy Nerding 3x MIA utility mixer.
This video is a lot longer then most of the videos I post…so here’s an index if you want to skip to certain points.
