Today we're making a generative ambient patch using only a Moog Matriarch (Dark edition because it looks cool), some inappropriately lengthy patch cables, and a trusty Edison lamp people really seem to like.

Love these videos and your presentation. The Matriarch is such a beautiful instrument. Every time I find myself in a stale creative state I turn to the Matriarch and just zone out. I’ve owned it for awhile now and I’m still finding new things to do with it. One trick I found with the sequencer (by happy accident) is that with a sequence playing you can press and hold the Ratchet, Tie, or Rest buttons for performance effects, my favorite being the Ratchet (probably not so useful in a slower ambient patch but definitely useful for groove oriented sequences). I don’t think it’s mentioned in the manual. I like to think that it’s such a unique instrument that even the engineers are finding new things to do with it as well.

Really appreciate your reflective introspection. The patches are pretty nice too :)

Fantastic video. I just spent my afternoon with my Matriarch and your guidance, and the patch sounds absolutely beautiful. Thanks!

[@JamesonNathanJones]

An afternoon well spent! Thanks for watching, Andy 🙏

[@Micha_WS]

Nice patches, i love them. Good helpful Walkthrough. Keep up the good work.

[@fallprecauxionsmusic]

yet another helpful walkthrough of another really nice patch. thanks so much!!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Hi James ! - I LOVE these semi modular , Matriarch setup videos - i...learn...SO....Much...! More of them please - 😘

[@brandonlovestech454]

As a Grandmother owner, I love these Matriarch videos so much and can only hope to own one soon to complete my collection. Just kidding, it’ll never be complete.

[@JamesonNathanJones]

No such thing as a complete synth collection haha 😅

[@fallprecauxionsmusic]

this is me echoing every bit of what BLT (bacon, lettuce & tomato, is it?) just said here. which is to say, "hear, hear!!" & bravo, doctah jones!!

[@auralplex]

got a couple of grandmothers myself

[@cynthiaroberts7206]

Thank you. Love your videos. More Ambient, delicate Matriarch.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Again really interesting and most defo more like this would be awesome.

[@johnnyo8471]

Beautiful Job Friend! Well understood ‘ your hearts in it!

[@ohstanley3058]

Got my Sunny D, patch cables and ready to go! Love the matriarch content

[@JamesonNathanJones]

Great choice of beverage right there :)

[@synthdom-cc8qc]

learning so much. thank you.

[@fully_privatized_mass_medium]

this is so awesome, thank you

[@Handheldsounds]

"Grab a Juice Box" LOL. Love your channel btw!

[@mistergenerator5430]

A cool West Coast IPA and settle back. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@alkali6]

Love the patch from scratch videos

[@78thandSynth]

What a way to wrap up a Sunday. Thanks always man. Have it at 50 bpm with Syntakt doing that deep bass and bell thing. (Edit - E mixolydian)

[@78thandSynth]

i got into this one again and flipped a couple things. She was angry.

[@Cutflower]

Nice!

[@MandelscapeDA]

Finally... Real content... I can watch again........

[@VinylWave11]

I have a Matriarch. I have a hard time wanting to use any other synth, software or even my other hardware synths, since I received it. I have a Korg monologue XD which I also love but everything about the Matriarch feels like an extension of me

[@dodgedforgottenn]

Cool patch! Wish you would have let it play awhile at the end.

[@namenaim1560]

Great stuff. Thanks. A marvellous instrument. Pity about its cheap sharp edged plastic end cheeks. Any way to change them for nice wood?

[@rodrigolaporte274]

I was saving for a Summit and almost there, but thanks to you sir and your videos, I'm now 90% geared towards a Matriarch. Moog should pay you or something. Sadly the Matriarch is a bit more expensive than the Summit in my country. And I'll go with 4 voices instead of 16. But DAMNNNN how it sounds!

[@JamesonNathanJones]

I can honestly say it’s one of my favorite purchases. It’s definitely a different animal than the Summit, but I can’t seem to stop playing it. Maybe a Matriarch then a Peak down the road ;)

[@mrazomor9299]

Amazing tutorial as always, really digging these more in-depth tutorials, really great results too. One question though, would you care to share how did you got those distorted, lead-type sounds off of your track Dismember? Thanks alot!

[@JamesonNathanJones]

Thanks! Ooh throwback…. If I remember correctly, the distorted rhythmic sequence is from the e352 wavetable oscillator on that track. It’s one of my favorite uses for that module.

[@mrazomor9299]

@@JamesonNathanJones Thanks! I'll look into that module, that track and album as a whole give such a Trent Reznor/Atticuss Ross score vibe.

[@favoriteblueshirt]

I have to think twice about switching on the power to my modular, time just slips away, as I ask myself what would happen if I modulated that filter FM now with this LFO (*number 8)? And on and on. Fun video I kept laughing.

[@BlackMan614]

Having a hard time choosing between the Pro3 and Matriarch. I have an extensive modular setup so its not like I need more patch points but they seem to both have intuitive sequencers and... oh, I know. I need you to do a Pro-3 vs Matriarch video!

[@JamesonNathanJones]

How about this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j56Xe59jiL97ibs :)

[@emikarecords]

thanks! I dont have a juice box tho

[@RobertMatichak]

Question: Why did you use an LFO to control the seq rate instead of just using the seq rate itself? Thx great vid.

[@RobertMatichak]

Is it because it’s Generative patch?

[@JamesonNathanJones]

Yes, just using the lfo to add to the randomness of the patch and allow the rate to change over time on its own.

[@macdaddy52]

sorry but the pics aren't helping cables in the way to see setting it would be better to use a blank patch pdf
