Re: Matrix-12 Owner's manual Supplement


 

Hi Greg,

it looks like that my reply to this post, earlier today, was not sent or was lost... Here is a simpler version of what I am looking for:

On page 21 of the Matrix-12 Owner's manual, there is a reference to a manual called the "Matrix-12 Owner's Manual Supplement".

The quote: "...there are a total of 59 Primary pages and related Sub-Pages lurking within the Matrix-12. As a learnig aid, we have listed every one of the 59 Pages' displays in the Matrix-12 Pages Directory".

The Xpander manual and the Matrix-12 manual are not showing all the drawings for all the options available for the Xpander or Matrix-12,
even if the Matrix-12 manual is more verbose than the Xpander one.

What I would like to get is a text file (or a video on Youtube), that would list or show the contents of all the displays (with their column position), the leds' status from the Page Modifier section, etc. For example, pressing the button for VCO1, which leds are ON,
which buttons are inactive, what is seen when we use the encoders, etc. Is someone interested?

Of course, I would not need to ask all this if I could spend one hour with an Xpander..

I have a project to create a personal standalone programmer (microprocessor based, emulating the Xpander User Interface) to be used with my Matrix-6: I am tired of the membrane switches.

Thanks.

Hi,

The only official thing I know about pages is the list of pages in the document "OberheimXpanderMidiSpec.zip" in the Files/Documents section, of this group.
Could you explain a little bit more what are you trying to emulate, I do not understand clearly your needs.

On the Xpander, to change a parameter, you first need to send a page select, and then a parameter change:
ex:
page select: F0 10 02 0B 20 00 F7 (VCO1, subpage 0)
param change: F0 10 02 0A 00 08 00 00 00 63 00 F7 (bottom button...)

see the OberheimXpanderMidiSpec doc for details.

You don't need to resend a page select for the next param if it is still in the same page/subpage than the previous one.
Page/subpage select takes a lot of time to be taken in account by the Xpander.

/Greg.

Hi
I am a new member to this list.

I am looking for the "Matrix-12 Owner's manual Supplement" (scans or PDF) that the Matrix-12 Owner's manual (first edition) mentions on page 21.

It is supposed to show all the 59 pages and sub-pages for programming the Matrix-12: a Matrix 12 pages directory...

I would like to emulate the Xpander or Matrix-12 programmer
for my Matrix-6.


Thank you very much.
