Nothing new.
News of this patch editor has been posted several times, here and other places.

Wow, random patches for my Xpander!

I'll pay $15 for this if only a donation.

Re: Matrix-12 / Xpander - switches replacement?

Congrats !

For me, that?s weird ?cause I contacted him too because of the switches after reading the message below and got no reply :-(

I?m not sure about the encoders but I?m intersted too.

Thank You!
I just received some switches from Doug. Nice and easy transaction!

Now all I need is a replacement encoder and I will have a 100% working Matrix-12!

would ALPS part # STEC16B04 work to replace the encoders? Looks like they are about $2.50 USD each from Taiwan

Well,- I?m searchin? ...

Original is Marquardt Switch 6401 which seems to be a discontinued part.
I measured my original switches and what eventually comes close most or will fit is the actual Marquardt Series 6425 Keymodules w/o LED and Keycaps for Keymodules 6425, Series 826 ...
These caps are available w/ printings (for the numwerical keypad p.ex.) and w/o printings, grey colour and 16mm spacing.
Download here ...


Marquardt standard switches overview
Marquadt standard switch catalogue
(both english and german langage available)

... and look yourself

unfortunally, there are no technical drawings in the catalogue and up to now I?ve found no dealer to buy one sample to compare w/ a original.

It would be great to have a guy here in the group who?s able to do more accurate measuring w/ his Xpander/ M-12 than I did,- and to get the tech drawings it might be necessary to organize a group buy before asking the manufacturer I fear.
I doubt the company would sell a single or only a few items.

Unfortunally, my technical english isn?t that good to describe the exact measurements of the originals here but maybe someone else could do,- I hope.
There are the contact pins, their separation distance (5mm) and their horizontal position (don?t know how to describe without a tech drawing, it?s somewhat special in this case), the overall size of the switch (16x16mm),- mounting pins and their separation distance (14mm) as well as their horizontal positions (diagonally: left upper corner /right lower), the separation distance of the caps mounting pins (8mm) and horizontal position,- and height of the switch (9mm).
I used a sliding caliper but won?t guarantee the precision here,- it was not so easy w/ the built-in original switches .

It would be great someone would double check and eventually upload a tech-drawing of the original into the files section ! - But next is to get a sample and/or a tech drawing of the replacement? for a comparison.

O.T.:

I have the same prob w/ a Oberheim XK, have all the values but don?t even know the manufacturer of the original switches because it?s nowhere documented, so it?s much more tricky.

New specification files for Xpander and Matrix-12

 

Hi

I have replaced the scans I uploladed last week in JPG format by PDF files passed trough OCR: they take less space.

The 1987 files are the back side only of the flyer: the front side was a color picture, which I decided to avoid to save space.
Re: Matrix-12 Owner's manual Supplement (UPDATED)

 

Thank you Greg...

I will look at that.
Actually, I would like to create a clone of the Xpander user interface, but I like the idea of the MidiBox modules..

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.
