VOICE MODE
The VOICE MODE switch selects whether Matriarch will play as a 1-Voice
monophonic synthesizer, as a 2-Note paraphonic synthesizer, or as a 4-Note
paraphonic synthesizer.
1 (One-Note Monophonic)
In this mode, all four oscillators are played from a single key on the keyboard.
2 (Two-Note Paraphonic)
In this mode, two keys can be played on the keyboard simultaneously. The first
key pressed will play Oscillator 1 and Oscillator 2; the second key pressed will
play Oscillator 3 and Oscillator 4.
TIP: The PITCH MODULATION ASSIGN switch in the Modulation module can be
extremely useful in this mode. Oscillator 2 can be sync’d to Oscillator 1, and Oscillator 4
can be sync’d to Oscillator 3. Applying modulation will increase the depth of the Sync
eects without altering the pitch of Oscillator 1 and Oscillator 3.
4 (Four-Note Paraphonic)
In this mode, up to four keys can be played on the keyboard simultaneously.
Each key will play only one oscillator.
NOTE: When all keys are released, the first new note pressed will sound Oscillator 1;
the next will sound Oscillator 2, etc.
TIP: Try experimenting with the VOICE MODE switch during Sequencer and
Arpeggiator playback.
MULTI TRIG (Multiple Triggering)
This button determines how the Envelope Generators will respond to each new
note press on the keyboard. When the red MULTI TRIG button is Off (unlit),
the Envelope Generators will not retrigger until all keys on the keyboard are
released, and a new key is played. If the red MULTI TRIG button is On (lit)
the Envelope Generators will retrigger each time a new key is played on the
keyboard.
TIP: In the One-Note Monophonic mode turn on the MULTI TRIG feature to eliminate
legato triggering, ensuring every note played will trigger the Envelope Generators.
