Matriarch Easy Patch Documentation

In this quick-hit vid I show you a DIY video trolly. It is a result of me being lazy. After all, isn't laziness the mother of invention? I'm quite sure that once you make this you will find other uses for it. For me, it was just too time consuming to sketch out my Matriarch patches. I now can quickly take a panoramic photo with my iPhone, toss the the photo into a spreadsheet and then set up my matchbook in the spreadsheet. I hope you find this helpful.

Awesome Info. Look forward to future videos.

Nice idea, waaay better than pretending that scribbling on paper isn’t as archaic as drawing blood with leeches

Hi folks! Okay, if any of you subscribers has a Matriarch AND you watched the video here, then you probably wondered what this method of photo documentation offers. You are welcome to a high-res photo from my method here: drive.google.com/file/d/1wzAVCOF0lioMFk1Y9-0EPf2Q2kpvEcmt/view?usp=sharing This is not a malicious or nefarious link . . . it's just a .jpeg which you are free to view and download as you wish. I know, would I trust such things? I'm not so sure. However, I do want to share this stuff more openly, but YT wants creators to have 1000 subscribers before they unlock the YT community share feature. At my rate of subscriber uptake . . . maybe by 2050 I'll have enough subscribers!😁 For what it's worth . . . . Here's a description of the patch to go along with the photo: Arp adjusts Audio Rate LFO (from modulation) as noise source. Cutoff from mod wheel adds grind. Utilities LFO feeds from mult-B Attn 1 & 3, Arp Clock Out feeds LFO rate. Exp Ped CV to mult-A → CVin Attn 3; Input Attn 2. Attn 2 out to CVin Attn 1. Attn 1 out to Cutoff in 1 and VCA 1 CVin. Attn 3 out to Cutoff 2 in and VCA 2 CVin. Patch comes alive with parallel filter mode. The expression pedal offers a tremendous impact in both Arp depth as well as stereo separation. Modwheel offers grunge and noise control provides beautiful subsonics from audio-rate LFO. Long story short: This is an exciting patch!

I had the same idea for my modular setup but not the capacity to build it. Is there something already done?

Great question and thanks for asking! I started with an Ikea drawer slide I had sitting around. It was a bit sketchy but held some promising results so in the spirit of concurrent engineering I halted that concept to try another. The wood beam concept held so much more promise and was so simple that a pivot was obviously the best course. You could try and improve the drawer slide. My next idea was to use Lego. Believe or not we do a lot of teaching undergrad engineering students using Lego. We even modeled the mechanical linkage for the aiming system of a Bradley fighting vehicle using Lego. Does this help jump start you?
