I've been away from Reason for a while and my knowledge has slipped away. I have created a set of arpeggio patterns in Matrix but importantly (musically) is the addition of a second note to sound with the first note in each arpeggio pattern (e.g. a C-E-G-C with the D in the bass). Since Matrix can only trigger one note at a time how do I get the second note using the same instance of the synth? My current workaround was to create a second instance of the synth with a second instance of matrix with the set of chord tones. But that isn't very elegant and I assume there is at least one much better way to achieve this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Presuming you want to stick with using Matrix, could you have two Matrix into a Spider then into the synth?

I do it by using MoPol Re by Lectric panda. It's a free one. Just connect your matrixes to cv(note) and gate and use outbut B from MoPol device into a synth you want.
There's three outputs form MoPol. See which one you like/need, but it seems to me you want output B.
