What is the MS-MATRIX ?
The
Alyseum
MS-MATRIX is a Eurorack module consisting of a dynamic matrix, both
analog and digital in nature, which supports 16 inputs and 16 outputs. A special 256 LED
display makes for a friendly and intuitive graphical user interface, with each LED
representing one of the 256 points of connections available.
The module accepts a variety of signals such as Gates, Clocks, CV and VCO
simultaneously, while the different user configurations can be saved as user Presets in 32
locations.
These Presets can be recalled manually, by a dedicated CV Input on the front panel, by
MIDI (either incoming Note On or CC).
The Input and Output expander mixer modules can be controlled by MIDI commands from
the main unit via infra-red (IR) link. No need for additional cables which might cause
ground loops or interferences!
