Inverting Attenuators
and Stereo Movement
Matriarch features a stereo filter,
which is really two filters layered
on top of each other and routed
separately to the left and right
channels.
Patching the modulation oscillator to the
CUTOFF 1 IN (like we did in the previous
section) moves both filters up and down,
since the CUTOFF 1 IN is normalled to
the CUTOFF 2 IN. This means that a
voltage patched to CUTOFF 1 IN will also
be patched to CUTOFF 2 IN unless there
is something else patched to CUTOFF
2 IN, so we have the same signal from
the MODULATION section moving both
FILTER 1 and FILTER 2 simultaneously.
As it stands right now, we don't really
have a stereo signal: both FILTER 1 and
FILTER 2 move up when the modulation
oscillator goes up and they move down
when it goes down. Let's now explore
how to add stereo-depth and movement
through patching.
MAKE THIS CONNECTION
By using more utilities, we can easily
patch this stereo movement. Patch
the modulation WAVE OUT to an
ATTENUATOR input as before. This
attenuator will be the knob that controls
the modulation depth. Next, let's take the
ATTENUATOR output and route it just
above to a MULT input. It doesn't matter
which of the four jacks in the MULT we
use, but let's use the top left jack.
The MULT takes a signal and allows us
to send it to multiple destinations. Since
we have a signal patched into one of
the jacks, all of the remaining jacks now
contain copies of that signal.
