Transform your synth: 10 semi-modular pairing ideas shown with Moog Matriarch

Semi-modular synths. You can't save presets. The patch cables are a hassle. Who needs 'em?
Well, for one, Eurorack pairings are your best shot at transforming a synth into something very different than what you got when you bought it.
In this video, I explore 10 such ideas with Moog's Matriarch, plenty of which should be relevant for other semi-modular synths.
A word about the download attached to this post: specifically to Matriarch, many of the patch points that are useful for extending it are on the back and unfortunately aren't labeled on the top panel.
Remembering what they were and accessing them was such a hassle while making this video that I had to make a little cutout I could stick somewhere to remind me where they were and what they are. I've attached it to this post. If you have a Matriarch, you just might find it useful!
All my best,
Ziv (using arts and crafts templates is now part of the work done on the youtube channel "Loopop"...)
EDIT: Patron Steven Goldberg sent in another cutout option in case you have more real-estate to place it on, it's quite nice!

yeah indeed it would be hard to match the key you press to the right oscillator
2021-02-07 20:33:45 +0000 UTCI had a question for you. New to my Matriarch... I get a bit frustrated that each oscillator voice is subject to the same amplitube envelope and was wondering there is a module that could take the outputs of each oscillator and make an individual ADSR for each. I've also wondered if this would even work - wouldn't each note event send another gate that would reset the trigger for each envelope? So... would there be a way to recognize each note event as being exclusive to a voice and then set the envelope to be specific to that voice. All of this because I just want long padded out voices for each key that I play that don't have to conform to the initial envelope triggered. (maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way entirely?)
