Here’s a gift for Matriarch users who are tired of trying to memorize global functions or who want realtime tactile control over some of the hidden features of the Moog Matriarch which are available ONLY through Midi.
I’ll be posting a deep dive video into Midi CC, Sysx messages and the moog Matriarch, Mother 32 and Subharmonicon in the coming weeks….but for now, enjoy the template!
