TAP
Using the yellow TAP button, the playback tempo of the Arpeggiator or Sequencer can be entered
using a series of successive button taps. Once a Tempo has been entered using the TAP button, this
button will remain lit.
As long as the yellow TAP button is lit (indicating a tempo has been entered using this method),
turning the RATE knob in the ARP / SEQ module will select note-value clock divisions of this tempo.
Pressing the SHIFT button while turning the RATE knob selects Triplet and Dotted note values.
NOTE: If an external clock is detected and in use, the tap-tempo operation will have no eect.
PARAPHONY
The VOICE MODE switch and the MULTI TRIG (Multiple Trigger) button
determine the behavior of the Matriarch sound engine when more than one
key is played on the keyboard at the same time. Matriarch can be played as
a monophonic, 2-note paraphonic, or 4-note paraphonic analog instrument.
Each mode has its own advantages.
ABOUT PARAPHONY
When we speak of a monophonic synthesizer, we think of an instrument
with the ability to play one note at a time; when we speak of a polyphonic
synthesizer, we think of an instrument capable of playing multiple notes
simultaneously. Paraphonic synthesizers fall somewhere in between, allowing
the pitch of each oscillator to be played independently, but with all oscillators
then sharing a common signal path from the Mixer section and beyond
(VCF, VCA, etc.), just as on a monophonic synthesizer.
NOTE: Each Oscillator includes a dedicated pre-mixer Gate that is triggered with
each new note press, allowing the output of an oscillator to be muted when not in use.
