Part 2 of Video Series about Generative Patching on the Moog Matriarch. In this series I’m going to approach the concept of Generative Patching by focusing on musical elements (harmony, Rhythm, Timbre and Expression) rather than focusing on modules/synth utilities.

A Quick video to help those who had questions about converting my Moog Matriarch Touch OSC template to be used with the Grandmother.

NOTE: FIRST VERSION OF GRANDMOTHER TEMPLATE WAS MISSING TWO ZEROs IN SY”SEX CODES. IF IT DIDNT WORK FOR YOU…TRY COUNTING NUMBER OF ZEROS IN CODE.

THANK YOU ANDREW FOR FINDING THE ERROR!

Part 2 (and final) Video about using Touch OSC to control Midi CC and Midi Sysex in realtime to gain control over Matriarch’s Global Settings.

In this video i talk mostly about midi SysEx…how to understand Sysex, and those weird codes at the back of your synth manual. I also show how to enter these codes and send Sysex messages in Touch OSC.
