Pulses, Drones and VCA Modes on Moog Matriarch

Pulses Drones and Moog Matriarch’s VCAs

**Note: something weird happened with this video when I uploaded it…it clips at times….sorry about that!

A look at the Moog Matriarch’s VCA modes. How to set up a pulse and drone patch and…a lot of theory, especially looking at Matriarch’s internal routing and normalled connections behaviour....Although, this video spends a lot of time talking about ways to filter delay.
