Another great course as always. I'm hoping there will be a more in depth follow-up course that could perhaps include more sound design examples and how to integrate Matriarch into a modular setup

Very nice, but I would have liked to have seen the kind narrator—one of the best at Moogs—go into more depth and more patching or other examples. The course seemed short!
