Here we have a short demonstration of how the Matriarch arpeggiator interacts with the various paraphony modes. A simple 2 note arpeggiation is started - random pattern with a 2 octave range. Each oscillator is set to a different waveform, and is tuned to either the 8' or 4' octave.
The voice mode is set to 4 note paraphony. Oscillator 1 starts things off. Pretty boring, huh. The delay (longest time setting) is gradually brought in for some animation. Then each oscillator is added, and things start getting interesting. Taking out and adding different combinations of oscillators gives us different rhythms. Then, oscillators are switched to different octaves.
At 1:45, the oscillators are switched to 2 note paraphony. Notice that the sequence becomes a bit more focused.
At 1:56, the oscillators are switched to monophonic mode, for your regular ol' mono synth-through-a-delay sound. This sound is more powerful, but to me, not as animated as it is in 4 note mode.
