MATRIARCH FIRMWARE UPDATE V1.2.0
Firmware version 1.2.0 for the Matriarch contains a number of new features as well as some bug fixes.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE
1. Connect a USB cable from Matriarch to your computer.
2. Open your SysEx sending software.
NOTE: We recommend downloading Bome SendSX for Windows or SysEx Librarian for Mac.
3. In the SysEx software, select Matriarch as your MIDI output device.
NOTE: In SysEx Librarian, this is located in the drop-down menu at the top of the application window.
In Bome SendSX, this is located in the MIDI OUT menu on the menu bar.
4. Select the SysEx file "Matriarch_FIRMWARE_INVALIDATE.syx" included with this download
and click Send. On the Matriarch, the Arp Rate LED will start blinking red/green.
5. In the SysEx sending software, re-select Matriarch as your MIDI output device (Matriarch
reboots and needs to be re-selected after INVALIDATE).
6. Select the SysEx file "Matriarch_FIRMWARE_ERASE.syx" included with this download
and click Send. On the Matriarch, the Arp Rate LED will blink green. Matriarch is now ready for new firmware.
7. Select the new firmware file "Matriarch_Firmware_v1_2_0.syx" included with this download
and click Send. The Matriarch Arp Rate LED will blink yellow-orange while receiving.
8. You're done! Matriarch will reboot to the new firmware when done.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Matriarch Arp Rate LED is still blinking yellow-orange after the firmware has finished sending,
or if the Arp Rate LED stops blinking and the unit does not reboot automatically once firmware has
finished sending, you should try again.
Turn the Matriarch power off and on again, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, and
then start over at step 1.
You can retry as many times as necessary and it will not hurt the hardware. If it doesn't work after two
or three tries, you should contact Moog Technical Support for further assistance.
If you have any questions or trouble with your update please contact [email protected].

Page 3: Global Settings
Left-Hand Controller and the SYNC ENABLE button located in Oscillator 1 until the SYNC ENABLE button begins to blink. This indicates that Matriarch is in the Global Settings edit mode. Now you can use the keyboard commands listed below to make any needed changes to the Global Settings. The SYNC ENABLE button will blink a specific number of times to indicate which Global Setting is currently selected. - Page 4 (none) The effective pitch bend range of the Matriarch PITCH wheel can be set in semitone units, from 0 to 12. Twelve semitones is equal to one octave. Use the lowest 13 white keys to select the corresponding number of semitones from zero/none (C0) to 12 (A1).
- Page 5 1.1 MIDI Input Channel 1 x / 1 x Matriarch can send and receive data on any MIDI Channel, from 1 to 16. Use the first 16 white keys (C0 to D2) to select the corresponding MIDI Input Channel (1 to 16).
- Page 6 The Matriarch Sequencer and Arpeggiator can be set to follow MIDI Clock, and can respond to Start and Stop commands received via MIDI. Depending on your setup, you may wish for Matriarch to ignore some of these commands. Use the first three white keys to select FOLLOW MIDI CLOCK + MIDI START/STOP COMMANDS (C0), FOLLOW MIDI CLOCK ONLY (Ignore MIDI Start/Stop commands) (D0), or IGNORE ALL MIDI CLOCK + MIDI START/STOP COMMANDS (E0).
- Page 7 2 x / 1 x The CLOCK IN jack on the Matriarch rear panel can work in two different ways: as an analog clock input which sets the tempo of the Sequencer’s internal clock, or as a step-advance trigger input, which advances the Arpeggiator or Sequencer by one step each time a rising-edge trigger is detected at the CLOCK IN jack.
- Page 8 2 x / 7 x The Arp / Seq Keyed Timing Reset changes how the Arpeggiator, the Matriarch master clock, and notes played on the keyboard will interact. When OFF, the Arpeggiator will remain locked to the Master Clock so that notes played ahead of the beat (prior to the next step) will wait for the next beat, or clock step, to sound.
- Page 9 The Matriarch keyboard generates a specific control voltage for every note played. The voltage range of this signal appears at the KB CV OUT jack on the Matriarch rear panel, and can be set to (-5V to +5V) or (0V to +10V) in order to accommodate another synthesizer or piece of electronic music gear.
- Page 10 3 x / 9 x The Matriarch keyboard generates a specific control voltage, or gate, whenever a key is depressed. This gate voltage appears at the KB GATE OUT jack on the rear panel, and can be set to +5V or +10V, in order to accommodate another synthesizer or piece of electronic music gear.

- Page 13 V1.2.0 RELEASE NOTES FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE GLOBAL EDIT MODE This firmware version introduces a couple of useful functions which are launched from within the Global Edit system. They are selected like other global parameters, but the functions activate immediately upon being selected, since there is no need to set any additional parameter value for them.
- Page 14 • Unit ID must match the Unit ID of the Matriarch, or set Unit ID = 7F (all). • The Matriarch will reply with a “set parameter” SysEx message for the requested Parameter ID with its current value, with the byte before the Unit ID (byte 14 if counting from F0 = 0) set to 1 to indicate that the message is a reply coming from the Matriarch.
