4.3 Paraphonic Unison
G#2
F#0
4 x / 3 x
When Paraphonic Unison is set to On, all four Matriarch oscillators will always sound, even when the
PARAPHONY
switch is
set to VOICE MODE 2 or VOICE MODE 4, regardless of how many notes are held. When just one key is played, all four of the
Matriarch oscillators will play from that key. When two keys are played, each key will play two of the Matriarch oscillators (1+2;
3+4). With the switch set to VOICE MODE 4, adding a third note assigns a new pitch to Oscillator 3, and adding a fourth note
assigns a new pitch to Oscillator 4. Use the lowest two white keys to select OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The Default is OFF.
4.4 Update Unison on Note-Off
G#2
G#0
4 x / 4 x
This Global Setting is only available while the Paraphonic Unison Global Setting is set to On. When the Update Unison on Note-
Off setting is on, all four oscillators are reassigned to the notes which are still playing whenever a key is released. Use the lowest
two white keys to select OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The Default is OFF.
4.5 Restore Stolen Voices on Note-Off
G#2
A#0
4 x / 5 x
When the
PARAPHONY
switch is set to VOICE MODE 2 or VOICE MODE 4, as the number of keys played exceeds the current
number of available voices, older notes are “stolen” and replaced by newer notes. However, when this Global Setting is set to
On, the oscillator(s) can resume playing the pitch of these stolen notes – as long as their respective keys are still being held on
the keyboard. This can be very beneficial in mixing mono and poly playing techniques, such as holding a three-note chord, while
using the remaining voice to play a mono-style trill. Use the lowest two white keys to select OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The Default is
OFF.
4.6 Tuning Scale Select
G#2
C#1
4 x / 6 x
Matriarch is fully compliant with the MIDI Tuning Standard, so you can import, save, and use tuning scales and intonation
systems from around the world. Tuning scales can be accessed via MIDI messages, or by using this Global Setting to select a
Tuning scale from the keyboards. The last Tuning scale selected will is remembered when the power is turned off and on again.
Use any of the white keys to select a tuning table by number, from
0 (
C0
) to 28 (
C4
). Tuning table 0 (
C0
) is permanently set to 12-Tone Equal Temperament. The default setting is
tuning table 0 (
C0
).
4.7 Sequence Random Repeat
G#2
D#1
4 x / 7 x
This parameter controls whether the Sequencer playback in Random direction will allow the same note/pitch to repeat on
adjacent steps, or not. Use the lowest two white keys to select ALLOW REPEATS (
C0
), or DO NOT ALLOW REPEATS (
D0
). The
default is ALLOW REPEATS (
C0
).
4.8 MIDI OUT Filter - Panel Knobs
G#2
F#1
4 x / 8 x
C0
= off,
D0
= on (default). This setting controls whether or not MIDI CC messages are output in response to changes made to
the front panel controls. ON is the setting that allows messages to be sent. When MIDI Out Filter - Panel Knobs is OFF, then no
MIDI CC messages are output from Grandmother in response to panel control changes.
