Haken Audio EaganMatrix Module

This versatile module can act as a sound source, a sound processor, a CV source (via connection to an external Control Voltage Converter), a Midi source, or a customizable combination of all these capabilities.

Haken Audio’s EaganMatrix Module offers:

• Polyphony: Nominal 1, Maximum 8
  Direct CV note control is limited to 1 voice at a time, but higher polyphony avoids voice stealing when EaganMatrix presets have long decays, and higher polyphony is often useful for Midi input.

• 4 Per-note CV Inputs: W, X, Y, Z

  • Gate (W) — Triggers at 1V, with max range -10V to +10V

  • Pitch (X) — 1V per octave, with programmable offset for Middle C; useful input voltages are a subpart of -10V to +10V (depends on the programmable offset selected)

  • Timbre (Y) — Function depends on EaganMatrix preset; voltage range is normally 0V to 5V, but -5V to +5V can be useful when combined with a programmable offset

  • Loudness (Z) — normally 0V to 5V, but -5V to +5V can be useful when combined with a programmable offset

• 4 Global CV Inputs: i, ii, iii, iv
  Functionality depends on EaganMatrix preset; these CV affect all voices (notes from WXYZ and Midi); each global CV is normally 0V to 5V, but -5V to +5V can be useful when combined with a programmable offset

• 2 Analog Audio Inputs: Left and Right, or Mono

• 2 Analog Audio Outputs: Left and Right, or Mono Sum
  -12dB switch selects between Eurorack Level and Line Level

• Midi over USB
  Allows bidirectional MPE and MPE+ connection to other devices; allows connection to the Haken Editor for editing and archiving EaganMatrix presets (USB-A cable included with purchase)

• Universal 3.5mm Midi In (Type A, Type B, and TS)
  Allows connection to other Midi devices without need of computer or USB (adapter to 5-pin DIN Midi In included with purchase)

• Type B 3.5mm Midi Out
  Allows connection to other Midi devices without need of computer or USB (adapter to 5-pin DIN Midi Out included with purchase)

• i2c Port for Communication to the Control Voltage Converter
  (a switch selects between 3.5mm Midi Out and i2c functionality)

• 12 Switches, 1 Rotary, and LED Matrix
  A menu system allows stand-alone operation without need of computer, and provides monitoring for notes being played and CV input levels
