My daughter turned 4 today. She's very much into Octonauts, so I have to be Captain Barnacles, Peso, or Shellington (and I think my impressions are pretty spot on). She got her wish - which was to have Shellington put her to bed tonight. There's nothing I enjoy more than being with her and reading books or pretending to be octonauts (which happens to take up probably 80% of our time together). When I ask her who her favorite person is, it's no longer Papa. It's "Barnacles" or "Shellington."
I imagine, years in the future, she'll call me from college and I'll say, "Kwazii, sound the octo-alert," And she'll just say "Daaaaad...."
Anyway, this track just sort of represents those lucid moments I have with her, with my family, just enjoying what really is the best part of being here on Earth.
Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb.

lovely, just lovely. someday i hope to convince my matriarch to sound so good. i spent last year dealing with cancer and chemo and recovering but i've got my little studio set up a month ago now with my matriarch, my grandmother, my microfreak, and my model:cycles and i'm starting to learn, starting to play. in the meantime works like this give me something aim for. thank you.

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that! I’m glad to hear you’re feeling ok. Hopefully you will be cancer free moving forward. The matriarch is a great synth and I think it doesn’t take much to get it to sing so hopefully you have no problem with it!

This is just sublime sir! I stumbled upon this last night, as I went to bed, searching for as much as I can devour on the Matriarch before I take the plunge and get one… This piece sent me drifting off into a peaceful slumber and upon reading your description just now, it blew me away! Belated happy birthday to your daughter, cherish those moments. I’ll be “devouring” the rest of your Matriarch videos for sure! A new sub here for thee, peace ✌️

@MIDERA 3 года назад

Hey thanks. Much appreciated! Sorry for the late reply. Did you buy a Matriarch?

@chitlun 3 года назад

@@MIDERA Yes I did, I’m smitten! What an incredible instrument and I’ve barely scratched the surface of the possibilities… Been getting some very pleasing results patching in my Subharmonicon, DFAM and MiniBrute 2S, I just wish I didn’t need to work or sleep!

Yeow, Captain! Happy Birthday to yours. My daughter turned 5 last week and Octonauts has been left behind. The capacity for synth-ing increases though, and I've the Reface CS to thank for that.

@MIDERA 3 года назад

I will be totally depressed when my daughter gives up Octonauts… your daughter is playing your reface CS though???

@SandcastleTheory 3 года назад

Beautiful. I almost bought a Matriarch the other day. Went to purchase an Argon 8M, almost left with the Moog. Honestly, I have no practical use for one, whereas the Argon fits into my live rig perfectly, but damn... If I were to make a purchase for the sake of luxury, it'd be one of these. Wonderful sound-design and playing here. Cheers!

@MIDERA 3 года назад

The Argon has never really interested me, I think because my Virus TI covers the same ground. The thing I like about the matriarch is that it is so different from all of my other gear. I write completely different things with it. Definitely a personal favorite of mine. But it’s good we have choices and it sounds like the Argon was the right choice for you! I think it’s a bit cheaper too!!!

@SandcastleTheory 3 года назад

@@MIDERA Ya, the Argon is nearly half the price of the Matriarch. It was a purely pragmatic decision, to be sure. The Argon simply ticks the most boxes for my specific setup, but it's nowhere near the top of my list of favorites. My gear works for a living though (or rather, it used to, as I recall, before the pandemic), so it has to meet tighter protocols. Sometimes that's unfortunate. Haha... ;) Cheers!

@jeremjerem 3 года назад

Beautiful 👍 Expensive synth but it's for me a true "instrument" And happy birthday to your daughter 😉

@MIDERA 3 года назад

Hey thanks! Yes, I agree, it's a great instrument. I would likely keep this over many others, because it is so unique.

@lifesynthtance 3 года назад

Sounds absolutely stunning, Matriarchs delay paired with Blackhole sounds massive, lush ambiance. Getting ever closer to pulling the trigger on a Matriarch…. Thanks to you lol. Happy Birthday to your daughter btw.

@MIDERA 3 года назад

Thanks :) I think you won’t regret the matriarch (though it depends on what you have already). I think it’s an excellent synth with a ton of interesting things to keep you busy for years.

@lifesynthtance 3 года назад

@@MIDERA A DSI Pro 2 is the closest synth I have to the Matriarch, being 4 note paraphonic also, the Matriarch just seems so much more musical and engaging. Could get lost in it for days at a time I’m sure !

@final_mile_music9713 3 года назад

Do it Craig. The Matriarch is the best synth I’ve ever owned. It’s a keeper.

@MIDERA 3 года назад

I’ve contemplated getting a Pro2, even with the Matriarch. I imagine they’re somewhat equivalent, but the Matriarch keeps me away from buying a Pro2. I would probably feel the same way if I had the Pro2!

@MIDERA 3 года назад

I think my Prophet 10 or Virus TI are my favorites. But the Matriarch is wonderful. Actually, I’d probably rather have my SH-101 over the matriarch if I’m honest… just a lot simpler. But it’s hard to know considering I have them… I don’t know, would really have to think about it.

@Thekingdomwithinco 6 месяцев назад

@Midera in your expert opinion and experience, would you rather take the Moog Matriarch or the PolyEvolver with you to a desert island? You can only take ONE ... 🤔

@MIDERA 6 месяцев назад

Well, first, I’m not an expert so I would probably not ask me anything. But personally, I get way more joy out of the matriarch than poly evolver. Obviously you can compare specs and the Poly Evolver is “better” in that it’s an actual polyphonic synth. But I find I have more fun with the Matriarch. That said, neither would be a desert island synth. That would go to the access virus.

Beautiful again. Hey, are those patch cables? That’s the first step, it’s like opening the door and taking a peek inside.

@MIDERA 3 года назад

They ARE indeed patch cables. I wanted to figure out how to add a binaural effect. I actually have added patch cables before! I have a few videos of them added.

@Handheldsounds 2 года назад

Have you found a good way to apply velocity modulation to Filter cutoff? Going through the mults to both Cutoff inputs works but the velocity sensitivity is so light. I couldn't find a way to change the sensitivity yet.

@MIDERA 2 года назад

KB VEL OUT --> Utility input then utility output ---> Mult. Send Mult to Cutoff 1 (only) and set the attenuator to max? Does that work? Otherwise you could try to just send KB VEL OUT to Cutoff 1 and see how that works. I don't know though.

@benbeazley2974 2 года назад

Hi Midera - I love this and it's funny as my kids are both obsessed with Octonauts. I have just ordered a Materiarch. Do you have any notes on the patch you could share

@MIDERA 2 года назад

It’s very depressing, we showed our daughter How to Train Your Dragon, and now she’s obsessed and only wants to be a dragon and no longer cares about Octonauts. I’m very sad about it. Hmm… I don’t remember my patch settings. If I have any idea, I’ll let you know!
