GLOBAL SETTINGS
Most Matriarch front-panel controls relate to creating sound. Below the surface, there is another level
of parameters known as the Global Settings, which determine how the instrument operates, and how
it can connect and interact with other electronic instruments and audio equipment.
To access Matriarch’s Global Settings, simultaneously press and hold the HOLD [SHIFT] button
located in the Left-Hand Controller and the SYNC ENABLE button located in Oscillator 1 until the
SYNC ENABLE button begins to blink. This indicates that Matriarch is in the Global Settings edit mode.
Now you can use the keyboard commands listed below to make any needed changes to the Global
Settings. The SYNC ENABLE button will blink a specific number of times to indicate which Global
Setting is currently selected. When you have finished making any changes, simply press the SYNC
ENABLE button to exit the Global Settings edit mode.
Once you are in the Global Settings edit mode, you can freely select different groups and parameters
using the black keys, and can switch the value of the selected parameters by using the white keys, until
you press the SYNC ENABLE button to exit. Double-tapping on a white key will both update the setting
and exit the Global Settings edit mode simultaneously.
NOTE: Global Settings are retained even when the power has been turned o.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
Global Settings are organized in groups of ten. An individual parameter in the chosen group is selected
using one of the lower 10 black keys, starting with C#0. The white keys, starting with C0, are used
to set the value of the chosen parameter. The first 10 parameters are in the default group, and no
group selection is required. Additional groups are selected using one of the upper black keys, starting
with C#2. To access these additional parameters, hold down the Group Select key while pressing the
individual Parameter Select key.
