What's new in 1.3.0

HIGHLIGHTS With new global setting 5.3 you can switch between four different velocity curves. If you tend to play keys with a harder touch, try switching to LINEAR or STRETCHED to more easily produce softer velocity values. Alternatively, switching to COMPRESSED will make it so that higher velocity values are produced with less physical effort. The Pitch Wheel setting will now come out of the KB CV Out alongside the keyboard information. Try using the KB CV Out to modulate the STEREO DELAY TIME 1 input to create longer delay times when you play higher notes on the keyboard. While holding a note, moving the Pitch Wheel will not only adjust the pitch but now also modulate the delay time as well. CHANGES SINCE V1.2.3: • PPQN IN and OUT improvements. • CC94 added to allow switching voice modes over MIDI. • KB GATE OUT will now follow MULTI TRIG selection. • Octave Transpose controls are now more responsive. • Improved response to the TIME 1 IN CV of the Stereo Delay when synced. • KB VEL OUT (Keyboard Velocity CV Out), KB AT OUT (Keyboard Aftertouch CV Out), KB CV OUT (Keyboard CV Out), and KB GATE OUT (Keyboard Gate Out) correctly update when MIDI notes are played. • Added Pitch Wheel information to the KB CV Out (Keyboard CV Out). • Global setting 4.1 – Delayed Keyboard Octave Shift has been improved and now also applies to the keyboard CV output. • Removed spurious MIDI messaging when HOLD function was engaged.

How to update the Moog Matriarch

Download the Matriarch firmware package from the Moog downloads page and unzip it. Connect Matriarch to your computer with a USB cable and open a SysEx sending tool (Moog recommends SysEx Librarian on Mac or Bome SendSX on Windows) with Matriarch selected as the MIDI output. Send Matriarch_FIRMWARE_INVALIDATE.syx (the Arp Rate LED blinks red/green), re-select Matriarch as the output because it reboots, then send Matriarch_FIRMWARE_ERASE.syx (the LED blinks green). Finally send the new firmware .syx file from the package; the LED blinks yellow-orange while receiving and Matriarch reboots to the new firmware when done. If the LED keeps blinking or the unit does not reboot, switch Matriarch off and on, reconnect the USB cable and start again from the first file.
