Moog Matriarch – “The Machine” Patch
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.

Roland “NativeDance” Patch on 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.
