D Create an “arpeggiator” using two Matrix devices and the Spider
CV Merger & Splitter.
By merging the Note CV output from one Matrix with a Curve CV output of an-
other Matrix, you can transpose the Matrix pattern in real-time, a bit like an ar-
peggiator.
1. Create a Subtractor and a Matrix device.
Connect the Matrix Note and Gate CV outputs to the Subtractor Sequencer
CV and Gate inputs, respectively.
2. Program a pattern for the Matrix.
In the following text this is referred to as “Matrix 1”
3. Now create a Spider CV and a second Matrix device and connect
them as in the picture below.
Note that the Note CV output from Matrix 1, and the Curve CV output of Matrix 2 should
be connected to the Spider. The merged output is connected to the Sequencer Control
Note CV input on the Subtractor.
4. On the Spider CV, turn the trimpot for the input connected to the
Note CV output fully to the right.
This setting will retain the correct pitch relationship for the notes played by
the pattern.
5. On the Spider CV, turn the trimpot for the input connected to the
Curve CV output to “32”.
This will produce a Curve CV output that corresponds to semitone steps.
6. Set the Curve type switch to “Bipolar” on the back of the second
Matrix (Matrix 2).
7. Flip the rack around so that the front panels are showing, and make
the following settings for the “Matrix 2”:
• Set the number of steps to “1”.
• Set the Curve/Keys switch to “Curve”.
