2.1 Arp / Seq Clock Input Mode
D#2
C#0
2 x / 1 x
The
CLOCK IN
jack on the Matriarch rear panel can work in two different ways: as an analog clock input which sets the tempo
of the Sequencer’s internal clock, or as a step-advance trigger input, which advances the Arpeggiator or Sequencer by one step
each time a rising-edge trigger is detected at the
CLOCK IN
jack.
Use the first two white keys to select CLOCK (
C0
), or STEP-ADVANCE (
D0
). The Default is CLOCK.
2.2 Arp / Seq Clock Output
D#2
D#0
2 x / 2 x
The Arp / Seq
CLOCK OUT
jack can be set to constantly send a clock pulse signal, or to send clock pulse signals only when the
PLAY
button is lit, and the playback of a sequence or Arpeggiator pattern is active. Use the first two white keys to select ALWAYS
(
C0
), or ONLY WHEN PLAYING (
D0
). The Default is ONLY WHEN PLAYING.
2.3 Arp / Seq MIDI Output
D#2
F#0
2 x / 3 x
Matriarch allows the note data generated by an arpeggio or sequence to be output via MIDI, or not. Use the first two white keys
to select OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The Default is ON.
2.4 Sequencer Transpose Mode
D#2
G#0
2 x / 4 x
The playback of a sequence can be transposed in real time via two methods. The first simply transposes the sequence so that
the first note of the pattern is the note being played on the keyboard. The second method assumes Middle C is correct key, and
will playback the sequence as it was recorded when Middle C is played. So to transpose the sequence up a Fourth, hold down
the F key above Middle C. To transpose the sequence down a Fifth, hold down the G below Middle C. Use the first two white keys
to select FIRST NOTE (
C0
), or MIDDLE C (
D0
). The Default is FIRST NOTE.
2.5 Sequence Keyboard Control
D#2
A#0
2 x / 5 x
The keyboard and the Sequencer can operate together or independently. When Sequencer Keyboard Control is ON, pressing a
key on the keyboard, or playing a MIDI note will start the sequence and set any transposition of the sequence. When Sequencer
Keyboard Control is OFF, the Sequencer operates independently of the keyboard. The active sequence will play immediately at
the original recorded pitch when the
PLAY
button is pressed (lit), while notes played on the Matriarch keyboard (or MIDI notes)
can then play along with the Sequencer. Use the first two white keys to select OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The Default is ON.
2.6 Sequence Keyed Restart
D#2
C#1
2 x / 6 x
Sequence Keyed Restart determines the behavior of the Sequencer when Sequence Keyboard Control is ON. When restarting a
sequence by playing a key on the keyboard (or a received MIDI note), the sequence can restart from the first note of the sequence
(ON), or the sequence can resume playback from where it left off. Use the first two white keys to select OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The
Default is ON.
