Common Moog Matriarch Questions
How do I configure the Matriarch to receive MIDI clock and start/stop messages from my DAW?
Navigate to the Global Settings menu (Shift + Press the Global button) and set the MIDI Clock Source to External; also ensure MIDI Sync is enabled in your DAW and sending to the Matriarch's MIDI input.
Does the Matriarch have preset saving capabilities, and if so, how do I save and recall patches?
The Matriarch does *not* have preset saving; you'll need to manually note your knob positions and patch cable configurations to recreate patches.
How do I use the Matriarch's paraphonic mode to play multiple notes simultaneously?
Engage the 'Paraphonic' switch in the oscillator section and connect a gate signal to each oscillator's gate input, then play chords on a MIDI keyboard or via the sequencer; each oscillator will play a different note of the chord.
My Matriarch is making a constant high-pitched squeal. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
This is often due to feedback loops created by patching the output back into an input. Carefully check your patch cables, especially those involving the attenuators, filter, and VCAs, and ensure you're not unintentionally creating a self-oscillating circuit.
How can I use the Matriarch's built-in sequencer to create complex polyrhythmic patterns?
The sequencer allows for up to 256 steps with rests and ties; use the 'Sequence Length' knob to set the desired number of steps and experiment with different clock divisions and modulation sources to the sequencer's tempo input for rhythmic variations.
