KEYBOARD JACKS (Continued)
Matriarch both accepts and creates a number of keyboard control signals that can greatly enhance
performance. In addition to jacks accepting a Sustain Pedal and an Expression Pedal, this area of
the rear panel provides CV (Control Voltage) outputs for keyboard performance elements including
velocity, aftertouch, gate, mod wheel position, etc.
SUS PEDAL IN (Sustain Pedal Input)
When depressed, a compatible sustain pedal equipped with a 1/4” TS (Tip/
Sleeve) plug and connected here will continue to hold any keys already being
held down on the keyboard, even after the keys are released. The VCA EG
and the VCF EG will complete their Attack and Decay stages, and hold at the
Sustain level until the pedal is released, causing the Release stage to begin.
SUSTAIN INPUT: Depressing a Normally Open Sustain Pedal will short the tip to ground.
EXP PEDAL IN (Expression Pedal Input)
This 1/4” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) jack provides a +5 Volt signal on the ring
connector. Operating a compatible Expression pedal – such as the Moog EP-3 –
connected to this jack will attenuate this voltage so it can be used to vary
any controllable parameter.
EXPRESSION INPUT: Scaled by the Expression Pedal, then buffered and scaled to
come out of the EXP CV OUT.
EXP CV OUT (Expression Pedal CV Out)
The signal from the expression pedal is buffered, and
is then made available at the EXP CV OUT jack, where
it can be routed to control the value of any parameter,
either internal to Matriarch or on any other synthesizer
or Eurorack module.
CV OUTPUT: 0V to +8V
KB VEL OUT (Keyboard Velocity CV Out)
The Matriarch keyboard generates a control-voltage signal based on the
Velocity of notes played on the keyboard. The signal available here can be
routed to any controllable parameter, either internal to Matriarch or on any
other synthesizer.
CV OUTPUT: 0V to +5V (0V to +10V selectable via Global Settings)
KB AT OUT (Keyboard Aftertouch CV Out)
The Matriarch keyboard generates an Aftertouch control-voltage signal
based on the pressure applied to any keys that are already being held down.
The signal available here can be routed to any controllable parameter, either
internal to Matriarch or on any other synthesizer.
CV OUTPUT: 0V to +5V (0V to +10V selectable via Global Settings)
