NOISE
Matriarch features a built-in White Noise generator. Noise is an unpitched
sound source that can be a useful tool for creating powerful percussion sounds,
or for adding a gentle breath to synthesized wind instruments such as flutes.
The NOISE knob sets the level of the White Noise generator as it enters the
Mixer. Settings above 11 O’clock will impart gentle distortion, while higher
settings will result in more overdriven sounds.
NOTE: A High Pass Filter (HPF) can be applied to the noise signal using the Global
Settings on page 63, allowing the color (or harmonic strength per frequency band) to
be adjusted.
