The buttons on the left play basses and chords, and, on the right melody

Advantages of a chromatic buttonboard are that it is very fast, you can
play huge chords no
matter of your hand size, and, the fingering is the same in any key, which
makes tranposing
a piece of cake.

Re: Matrix 6R Remote?

 

I dont know how complete it was. I bought that 6R in the early 90's.

how complete was this oberheim prototype? did you get a photo of it by any
chance? weve got an access matrix programmer in that were going to sell in
the near future (its on our website if anyone wants to see detailed photos).
its a nice box, especially if youve got a matrix1000, but it doesnt give
access to all parameters (like modulation routings).

Hey All,

Has anyone ever seen the Remote Control unit for the Matrix 6R?
There is a 5 Pin DIN input on the front panel that says REMOTE.
This is not midi I/O. The Manual says it's for a rack mounted remote
control programmer, that will make programming much easier.

Thanks envia,

Ahh that works, After a quick browsing, this synth sounds pretty good.
I am still not sure about weather it can make a hover sound, but
will dig a little deeper later.

Re: Xpander/M12 Easter Egg

 

Hi All,

Are the Hi MOM's from Xpanders? Mine is an M12,

The M6R does this also, as follows,

Go to Master Mode, paremeter 54 (Version)
Push the fourth select button (value)
Display will say ready?
Push Yes and watch the message scroll.

As Follows:
Go to Master Page
Press Page Two
Press Version.
While the version is displayed:

Hold down Store, and press Page 2

Additional pushes of Page Two, will toggle between 2 pages of the

Re: Cheetah and something else (accodion)

 

Hi envia,

I worked in an organ/keyboard repair shop in 98/99. The acordian guys
had the most sophisticated midi setups. They Could do almost anything
with their rigs. So I have always maintained these folks to be true
visionaries.

Karl

btw I am having problems making these links work. Any ideas what I am
doing wrong?
