CHANGES SINCE V1.1.0:
• Synchronization and Timing Engine update - Analog Clock in/out and MIDI Clock all remain tightly in phase now,
eliminating the possibility of drift between these clocks which was present in earlier firmware.
• New function when step recording: hold
SHIFT
+ press the
TIE
button to duplicate the current step. This function
copies the note(s) from the current step to the next step and ties them together, advancing the sequence by one step
for each
SHIFT
+
TIE
press. This makes it easy to program longer notes and chords into your sequences.
• New Global Parameter (5.1) “Arp/Seq CV Out Mirrors KB CV”: If ON, then the Arp/Seq
CV OUT
,
GATE OUT
, and
VEL OUT
jacks on the front panel will output the same voltages as the rear-panel
KB CV OUT
,
KB GATE OUT
, and
KB VEL OUT
jacks, whenever the Arp/Sequencer is not running.
• New Behavior:
HOLD
button acts like a Sustain Pedal (KB Hold) when Arp/Seq is not running.
• The default setting for CLOCK INPUT PPQN and CLOCK OUTPUT PPQN was changed from expecting/outputting a
clock every 8th note, to expecting/outputting a clock every 16th note (changed from 2 PPQN to 4 PPQN).
• Arp/Sequencer Gate Length can be adjusted using MIDI CC 106. Value 64 = 50% gate length (default).
• Matriarch no longer outputs unexpected streams of MIDI CC/NRPN data.
• PPQN In/Out settings now match documentation in manual.
• External Analog Clock overrides MIDI Sync.
• Arp/Seq
PLAY
button does not output MIDI CC 73 (can still respond to it if necessary).
• Improves compatibility with other Grandmother/Matriarchs.
• Changed MIDI Clock Output default setting to “Off”.
• Fix for stuck envelopes (was due to retriggering faster than a certain minimum, easy to do in multi-trig mode).
• Can now edit global parameters via MIDI SysEx messages (documented below).
