Extended Keyboard
Techniques: Velocity
On Matriarch’s back panel are CV outputs for keyboard velocity and aftertouch: how hard
the keys are pressed and the amount of pressure applied to a key after it’s held down,
respectively. These two aspects of Matriarch’s keyboard are not routed to anything by
default and require patching to use.
Let’s expand the patch we’ve been working with and layer on some performance controls.
First, we’ll use the keyboard velocity to control the depth of stereo lter modulation. The
harder we press a key, the wider the lter movement will be.
MAKE THIS CONNECTION
We can achieve this by simply patching the KB VEL OUT (on the rear panel) to the CV
IN of the rst attenuator which controls our modulation depth.

Matriarch is a hands-on performance instrument that combines the
power and exibility of a modular synthesizer like Moog’s vintage
modular systems with the playable functionality of a Minimoog.
Let’s now explore how patching can be used to enhance creative
playability.
