Patches

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.
