Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

MIDI MONO on the MATRIX-12 allows each Voice to respond to
VELOCITY, RELEASE VELOCITY, LEVER1, PEQAL1 and PRESSURE
independently. This means, for example, that you can use Pitch Bend
and Volume control on one Voice without affecting the others.
MIDI MONO on the MATRIX-12 requires each Voice to respond to
LEVER2 and PEDAL2 globally. This means, for example, that Vibrato
and Sustain Pedal commands received by the Voices assigned to MIDI
MONO affect all Voices-these two Controllers are not independent per
Voice as VELOCITY, RELEASE VELOCITY, LEVER1, PEDAL1 and
PRESSURE are.
MIDI MONO is a MIDI IN (Receive) function only. The MATRIX-12 will not
transmit in MIDI MONO.
TheMATRIX-12asaMIDI
MASTER and SLAVE
We have just seen how the MATRIX-12 can be operated alone, as a MIDI Master
and a MIDI Slave. Because of the independent design of the MATRIX-12's Voices
- each can have its own separate control source -the simultaneaous Mastering
and Slaving of the MATRIX-12 not only possible but easy.
EXAMPLES
The simplest example of a dual Master/Slave connection is to connect the
MATRIX-12fs MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of another synthesizer. Then, connect the
MIDI OUT of the other synthesizer to the MIDI IN of the MATRIX-12.
When the MATRIX-12's Keyboard is played, the second synthesizer plays as the
Slave. When the second synthesizer's keyboard is played, the MATRIX-12 plays
as the Slave.
EXAMPLE #2
The MATRIX-12 can be set up so that an external "device", such as a MIDI
Sequencer or computer, can play its Voices while the Keyboard can be used to
play a Slave instrument:
• In either SINGLE PATCH Mode or MULTI PATCH Mode, assign all 12
Voices to ZONE 1.
Connect the Master controller's MIDI OUT of the MATRIX-12fs MIDI IN.
Select ZONE 1:
Set CHANNEL to the transmitting Channel of the Master.
SelectZONE1,Page2:
Enable MEZJtf.
Disable the remaining Page 2 parameters.
ZONE 1 is now set to play all 12 Voices from the Master instrument connected to
the MATRIX-12.
