0.1 Note Priority
(none)
C#0
1 x
Note Priority selects which note will take priority when playing the Matriarch keyboard in monophonic mode. The choices are the
highest note played, the lowest note played, or the most recently played note. Use the first three white keys to select LOW
(
C0
)
,
HIGH
(
D0
)
, or LAST
(
E0
).The
default setting is LAST.
0.2 Glide Type
(none)
D#0
2 x
Glide Type determines the behavior of the Glide function.
LCR (Linear Constant Rate):
The Glide time is dependent on the interval between notes; the larger the interval, the longer
the delay time. This is the most commonly used type of Glide.
LCT (Linear Constant Time):
The Glide time remains the same, regardless of the interval between notes.
EXP (Exponential):
The Glide rate follows an exponential curve that begins with a fast rate, and slows as it nears the target
note. Use the first three white keys to select L
CR (
C0
), LCT (
D0
), or EXP (
E0
).
The default setting is LCR.
0.3 Gated Glide
(none)
F#0
3 x
Gated Glide causes the gradual gliding between notes to be started and stopped by the keyboard gate. When gated glide is On,
the pitch CV only glides while a key is held. When Gated Glide is Off, the pitch CV will continue gliding to the target pitch at the
current Glide rate, regardless of whether or not a key is held on Matriarch. The different behaviors are more distinct at longer
glide times. Use the lowest two white keys to selec
t OFF (
C0
), or ON (
D0
). The D
efault is ON.
0.4 Pitch Bend Range
(none)
G#0
4 x
The effective pitch bend range of the Matriarch
PITCH
wheel can be set in semitone units, from 0 to 12. Twelve semitones is
equal to one octave. Use the lowest 13 white keys to select the corresponding number of semitones from zero/none (
C0
) to 12
(
A1
). The Default is 2 semitones (
E0
).
0.5 Pitch Variance
(none)
A#0
5 x
Pitch Variance adds an adjustable amount of controlled randomness to the tuning of each note. The actual amount of detuning
is applied randomly to each key press, from zero (no detuning), up to
±
40 cents of detuning per note. The maximum amount of
detuning is set by this Pitch Variance parameter. Use any of the white keys to specify the maximum Pitch Variance value in 1.4
cent units, from zero (
C0
) to 40 cents (
C4
).
The Default value is zero (
C0
).
0.6 Oscillator Frequency Knob Range
(none)
C#1
6 x
The range of the Oscillator 2, 3, and 4
FREQUENCY
knobs can be limited or expanded to a specific number of semitones, from
zero to 24. Use the lowest 25 white keys (
C0
to
F3
) to set the range from 0 to 24 semitones (two octaves). The Default is 7
semitones (a musical Perfect Fifth).
0.7 Square LFO Polarity
(none)
D#1
7 x
The square wave signal available from the Modulation section can be set to Unipolar – having only positive modulation above
the zero line, or Bipolar – having equal amounts of both positive and negative modulation. Use the lowest two white keys to
select Unipolar (
C0
) or Bipolar (
D0
). The Default is Bipolar.
