OSCILLATORS (Continued)
LIN FM IN (Linear Frequency Modulation)
Connecting an audio signal or high-frequency control signal to this input 
introduces Linear Frequency Modulation (FM) to a patched oscillator, which 
can be useful in creating brash, metallic, or bell-like tones.
CV INPUT: -5V to +5V Control Voltage (AC coupled) 
PWM IN
A control signal connected to this input will modulate the pulse width of the 
Square or Narrow Pulse waveform selected by a patched oscillator. Pulse Width 
Modulation (PWM) varies the duty cycle, or pulse width of a wave, and thereby 
changes its harmonic content. Among other things, PWM is often used to mimic 
the sound of ensemble strings and to thicken bass sounds.
CV INPUT: -5V to +5V
WAVE OUT
The audio signal available at this output is determined by the settings of the 
OCTAVE, FREQUENCY, SYNC and WAVEFORM knobs of a patched oscillator.
CV / AUDIO OUTPUT: 10V peak-to-peak
The Mixer is where all of the sound sources within Matriarch are blended 
together before being passed on to the Filter. Patch points in the Mixer 
allow each hardwired source (Oscillators 1 – 4 and Noise) to be replaced 
with an external audio signal. There is also a line-level Instrument Input on 
Matriarch’s rear panel that feeds directly to the Mixer. 
MODULE PROVENANCE: Matriarch’s Mixer is based on the classic 
Moog CP3 module.
