Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

SINGLE/MULTI PATCH PAGE SELECT
As we continue to examine the layout and operation of the MATRIX-12's front
panel, the last set of Primary Pages to be covered are the synthesizer's SINGLE
PATCH Pages and its MULTI PATCH Pages. Because these Pages are related
and also because they are programmable per patch, their controls are
shared by the same set of buttons located on the right-hand side of the MATRIX-
12fs front panel.
This section is divided into two parts: one to cover the actual sound patches that
the synthesizer will play - the SINGLE PATCH Pages - and the other to cover
how these basic sound programs can be rearranged to be Split, Doubled etc. -
the MULTI PATCH Pages.
SINGLE PATCHES
The names of the Single Patch Pages available in the MATRIX-12 for sound
programming are listed in this area of the front panel in WHITE lettering. In
addition, Block Diagrams indicating the flow of control and modulation signals as
well as audio signals are printed on the panel as a summary of available parameters
to aid you when programming sounds. As we unravel the mystery behind the
design concept of this section of the MATRIX-12, you will be able to make use of
these "road maps" in the event that this manual is not with you at the time you are
editing.

SINGLE PATCH PAGES
Part 1: Sound Synthesis Pages
VCO1, VCO2 and VCF/VCA
Now that we are familiar with the basics of Page selection and general operating
techniques discussed in the chapter on PAGE MODIFIER, we are ready to
examine the specific operation and function of each of the Pages in SINGLE
PATCH Mode.
"VCO" is the abbreviation for "Voltage Controlled Oscillator" - a circuit that
produces the raw tone or the basic sound of the synthesizer. Since the two VCOs
of the MATRIX-12 Voice are almost identical, we will cover them together.
