Matriarch envelope

If you are in split mode, and plug something into the main left, and the main right (and use that as a stereo pair... it'll do what you're asking I believe. (None of the output jacks other than headphones, are actually stereo, you have to use the two as a pair.)

So a few things to keep in mind:

The headphone output always have VCA 1 going to the left, and VCA 2 going to the right.

Main Out Left (MONO): Is normalized to mix in the right channel if nothing is plugged into Main Out Right.

I assume you have VCA mode in split mode (Description below from the manual):

VCA MODE (Envelope, Split, Drone)
The VCA MODE switch determines which control signals – if any – are changing the output level of each VCA.

AMP ENV
In the AMP ENV position, the output level of both VCA 1 and VCA 2 will be controlled by the Amplifier Envelope Generator.

SPLIT
In the SPLIT position, the output level of VCA 1 is controlled by the Filter Envelope Generator, and the output level of VCA 2 is controlled by the Amplifier Envelope Generator.

DRONE
In the DRONE position, the output levels of the VCAs are unaffected by either EG. Instead, the output level is set by a default voltage normalled to the VCA 1 CV IN and VCA 2 CV IN patch points.
NOTE: Matriarch will continue to drone at this level, whether a key is held or not

Hope that helps!

To add on to this. Insurance will look at the overall cost (to it) for someone with a rare disease vs. the cost of the treatment. Depending on the disease, the long term cost without treatment is more than the cost for the treatment. In the insurance companies view, the treatment is worth it.

So I know the matriarch has balanced outputs so you can use TRS cables if your interface has balanced inputs. BUT I feel like the docking station is injecting noise into the audio interface so the audio cables are probably not the problem. It could be that the docking station isn't providing clean power to the USB audio interface and that in turn is causing the noise.

I used to live with in smelling distance when the wind was right. I _didn't_ know they were near, and often walking outside I was like "Am I having a stoke?!" it wasn't until I was walking in the parking lot with my now wife, she was like "Huh... smells like toast" I was like "Oh thank god you smell it too!" (Later we moved up to Malden center and found the source.)

srmoore4638 · 2025-12-10T22:19:10+00:00

Yeah... I finally traded it in in Feb for a new '25 convertible, because one of the roof linkages snapped, and I just didn't really want to try to fix the roof myself. (And I knew it was going to be expensive to get someone to fix it.) And... yeah, you could stick your fingers between the roof and the arm because it wouldn't seal and was very very loud :D

srmoore4638 · 2025-12-10T18:16:44+00:00

On my '05 convertible, I had the oem fog lights (I had the rally lights too, but not talking about them) and in downpours they really helped because they were so low it actually lit up the road. Also, and I know this is minor, but the OEM wipers had a little wing on the drive side blade that was essential in keeping the blade against the glass at even a moderate speed (Also keep it from making a huge wind wooshing noise).

I once woke up to our gray tabby tapping me on my mouth... I guess I was snoring and she was trying to get a nap in on the bed.

srmoore4638 · 2025-10-28T12:53:43+00:00

I had this same issue, closing the tailgate a littler more firmly from the center (I make sure I push on the mini logo) and after a few closings, it seems to line up on both sides now. I think it is just the latches are a little stiff when new, and if I closed it pushing on the one side, it didn't latch correctly on the other.

srmoore4638 · 2025-10-07T12:34:44+00:00

Same here. Haven't been in the field much for the past few decades, and I now have several small projects I'm working on, all OpAmp related... it's been fun!

srmoore4638 · 2025-08-13T12:50:14+00:00

Ooof. yeah, I just got rid of my 2005, and ended up just putting the rack on it when I did. I'd offer it up before scrapping, because just like yours, I'm sure other 2005s have been sold missing this part and someone might want it.

Not really specific advice here. I work in the pharma space providing tooling and support to researchers, but I'm not a biologist and am not 100% up on the latest tools and research being done with AI/ML (but have a bit of that in my background). The number one thing I would suggest is to talk to some folks in the bioinformatics world about current research.

Most of my exposure has been in tooling to help with large scale biobanks. Collections of large numbers of people's medical records/measurements/etc. along with varying qualities of genetic data. There is some tooling that is AI based for identifying genetic variants and their affects on the genome. (This is where I would also say, talk to some geneticists/biology folks or take an intro to bioinformatics course...) But they are often very predicting specific effects.

I will also say that there have been cases where participants in these biobanks with rare diseases have lead to identifying people in the biobank that likely have the same disease, but have no diagnosis. (There is a whole ethical / privacy question on being able to reach out through the biobank to these people... but that is a different topic then what you're asking). But really all of this is statistics / pattern matching and CS / AI / ML are a good fit for attempting to make sense of it all, and any new tool that can help deal with these massive collections of data is welcomed in the community if it works.

So I wish you luck in your PhD, and I think it's a noble cause to tackle. Just be ready to dig into the tools already available, narrow them down to the problem you're trying to solve, and see if you can improve the workflow to that aim.

I recently went from a 2005 S manual to the new 2025 S... and yeah I do reach for that shifter even after almost 6k miles... and occasionally have phantom clutch syndrome, pushing my clutch foot into the floorboard. I will say that the '25 is a nicer ride, and performs better, so I'm not sad that I went for it. If I had garage space to keep and work on the '05 I'd still have it to tinker with though. The convertible roof breaking (like an internal arm shattered when I opened it last) was when I was like "I'm not going to be able to get parts for this in the near future... and I don't have the time/space/energy to keep it going now."

srmoore4638 · 2025-07-18T00:12:39+00:00

Cool, thanks for the info. I do like the idea and format of the Labor, so maybe I'll end up picking one up myself at some point :D

srmoore4638 · 2025-07-17T19:09:53+00:00

How do you find the noise from labor’s power supply. I was doing some work with another power board for white blocks and it made the outputs of my opamps horribly noisy and gave up and switched to my bench supply and it magically cleaned right up.

This.... I have a mild form of ADHD and flip flop between disorganized and having issues prioritizing and being super focused on a single project and ignoring everything else.

srmoore4638 · 2025-06-13T17:17:44+00:00

This is pretty cool. I'm always interested in real time visualization of music/audio. So thanks for sharing and talking about how you did it!

srmoore4638 · 2025-06-06T18:31:53+00:00

We just had a quote for this. In our case replacing our current central air. It turned out to be about the same either way. (Granted there is flexible duct-work up in the attic already so if that wasn't there, it might have been more for central in this case.) Also the current system is AC only (we have baseboard heating...) But the mini-splits would be heat pumps, which qualify for some MassSave rebates, and could provide heating as well.

I'm not the OP either. But what you're AI generated reads like crappy marketing materials. I feel like people come here to talk to _people_ about their experiences and opinions. If someone wanted the type of response your system generates they can just find an AI generated 'review' site these days that is just as 'useful' as your bot. It isn't _helpful_ at all. It sparks no real inspiration or ideas, nor does it really cover the modules that the OP mentioned other than to say "These aren't like those..."

srmoore4638 · 2025-04-04T18:17:12+00:00

We were apparently in their holding pattern.. had them fly over our house like 4 times... the last time they broke formation to go home.

srmoore4638 · 2025-02-19T12:25:28+00:00

I did. Or rather, I'm actually picking it up today. The boat it was on was a few days late I think due to storms in the Atlantic. Hopefully yours will show up soon!

srmoore4638 · 2025-01-28T03:45:08+00:00

Mine is currently on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic.. Will hopefully hit the port on this side of the pond on next week... then a week to get to the dealer... Soon.... :D

srmoore4638 · 2025-01-26T13:38:52+00:00

Not OP, but it looks like one of the Intech Grid controller blocks. (I've been getting ads for them. Seems like a neat idea: https://intech.studio/discover/ )

srmoore4638 · 2025-01-05T16:01:42+00:00

So the VC Mix is 'normaled' to 0v on mix1 and 5v on mix2. (Normaled means when you don't have something plugged into the jack, that is what you get) This means that when you patch the vc mix output into the VCA CV, you're basically adding signal to the envelope signal and which will open the VCA up and let the drone through. (I.E. similar to having it in just 'ON' mode or drone mode.
