Mine shipped from GC a couple days ago and should arrive on Monday. Iām bummed that my new job has me so busy; Iād love to geek tf out on this thing for days.
Of course Iām already thinking how to split those four oscillators off into true-ish poly (articulated notes but all going through the matriarchās two filters + delay at the end). I used to have a voyager and in addition to that wicked touchpad (which has no equivalent in euro, unfortunatelyāitās a true voltage plate like a pressure points, but on an xy axis as well with the ability to hold xy location), I reallllly miss that stereo filter. Hoping this is a good replacement.
I think midi out is going to be my friend there in terms of getting individual gate trigs. I plan on sending the midi to the expert sleepers FH-2 set up to output four voices of gate/note. From there, I should be able to scrounge enough envelopes and vcaās from my system to make the magic happen.
Iām most curious about the delay, though. I sold my moogerfooger 104m for $700 like a fool, now they are hitting around $2k on the used market. Midi clock = musical time/pitch relationships when you sweep the time knob (!!!). Bliss.
The matriarch delay is only 700 ms compared to the longer time of the MF-104m, but iām hoping it gets close. I see in the manual that you can adjust the color of the delay via an os setting (only two options, dark and bright, unfortunately).
