4.4 Update Unison on Note-Off G#2 G#0
4 x / 4 x
This Global Setting is only available while the Paraphonic Unison Global Setting is set to On. When the
Update Unison on Note-Off setting is on, all four oscillators are reassigned to the notes which are still playing
whenever a key is released. Use the lowest two white keys to select OFF (C0), or ON (D0). The Default is OFF.
4.5 Restore Stolen Voices on Note-Off G#2 A#0
4 x / 5 x
When the PARAPHONY switch is set to VOICE MODE 2 or VOICE MODE 4, as the number of keys played
exceeds the current number of available voices, older notes are “stolen” and replaced by newer notes.
However, when this Global Setting is set to On, the oscillator(s) can resume playing the pitch of these stolen
notes – as long as their respective keys are still being held on the keyboard. This can be very beneficial in
mixing mono and poly playing techniques, such as holding a three-note chord, while using the remaining voice
to play a mono-style trill. Use the lowest two white keys to select OFF (C0), or ON (D0). The Default is OFF.
4.6 Tuning Scale Select G#2 C#1
4 x / 6 x
Matriarch is fully compliant with the MIDI Tuning Standard, so you can import, save, and use tuning scales and
intonation systems from around the world. Tuning scales can be accessed via MIDI messages, or by using this
Global Setting to select a Tuning scale from the keyboards. The last Tuning scale selected will is remembered
when the power is turned off and on again. Use any of the white keys to select a tuning table by number, from
0 (C0) to 28 (C4). Tuning table 0 (C0) is permanently set to 12-Tone Equal Temperament. The default setting is
tuning table 0 (C0).
NOTE: Tuning scales are imported into Matriarch via MIDI, and can be sent from tuning software such as Scala,
or the Moog Phatty Tuner. Matriarch supports the following MIDI TUNING STANDARD message types:
· Bulk Tuning Dump (128-note scales)
· Single-Note Tuning (retunes notes individually)
· Scale/Octave Types 5, 6, 8, 9 – 1-Byte and 2-Byte formats.
