Extended Keyboard Techniques: Aftertouch | 12
Let’s take it a step further with aftertouch. While the keyboard velocity
controls the depth of modulation, we can patch aftertouch to control the
rate of modulation.
MAKE THIS CONNECTION
Patch the KB AT OUT (on the rear panel) to the MODULATION section’s RATE IN.
Move the RATE knob down to around 9 o’clock to set a slow modulation rate for this
patch. The KB AT OUT will send a higher voltage as you apply aftertouch (pressure
to the keys once they’re held down), and will speed up the modulation rate the more
aftertouch you apply. With the keyboard velocity still adjusting the depth of modulation,
play around with this patch and explore all of the interesting ways you can control
stereo movement.
Up to this point we’ve had a single goal in mind: stereo lter motion.. Currently, all of our
patching is related to how those lters move, and how we can control that movement.
But remember, Matriarch is an open-ended synthesizer capable of an astoundingly wide
array of sounds. All of these techniques can apply to modulating delay times, oscillator
pitches, or sequencer movement just like we’ve used them to modulate the lter.
