That’s also my impression: I compared some factory patches in Matrix 12V with my hardware Matrix 12. The sound of the hardware synth is much richer and fuller. And I usually have the impression that Arturia soft-synths try to cover that by using a lot of effects. That’s why I rarely use Arturia synths anymore, I like soft-synths from u-he much more.

Hi Tony,

I have both an Xpander and the Matrix 12V, and whilst the Matrix 12V sounds awesome, it sounds nothing like my Xpander. I used the Matrix 12V as patch programming inspiration for the Xpander - finding patches I really liked, and then attempting to re-create them on the Xpander. Other than very simple patches, rarely could I get sounds to resemble each other on both. Having said that, the Matrix 12V is still a great VST in it's own right and has a great sound - but I wouldn't say it's close to an original Oberheim.

Cheers,

Davros

Hello Xpansioners!

I don't have a Matrix 12 and I'm likely never to have one particular at a price I'd want to pay.

Arturia is having a 50% off sale on their flagship VSTs, the Matrix 12V is part of the Analog collection which is on sale.

I thought I would buy this if the Matrix 12V could read the Xpander/MAtrix 12 patch? files, so I wrote to Arturia support inquiring about that feature.

Unfortunately, the Matrix 12V won't read the Matrix12 nor Xpander patch files

although it would be trivial to add that support.

If Arturia got enough requests to add that feature, who knows they may even decide to add it ;-)

Do any of you currently have (or have used) Arturia's Matrix 12V.

I'm curious to find out how you like it.

I'd also like to get one of the patch files to see if I can decipher the format.

I could always try to write my own patch converter.

thanks

Tony
