Oberheim Matrix-12 - Answer to Bonus Question

2. "POSITIVE/NEGATIVE"
INPUTS such as an LFO or Lever, on the other hand, have outputs that
alternate between negative and positive. P0INT3 in this case represents
the selected INPUTS "0 level". Setting a PO/A/TValue to 31 results in no
output, below 31 is negative and above 31 is positive.

from a Positive/Negative input such as an LFO or BENDER
Other examples of what can be done with Tracking Generators are:
1. Using an LFO (a Positive/Negative type modulation) as the INPUT, select
its TRIANGLEwave to be modified. Set POINT2 and POINT4\o
Amount values of 63. The result is a waveform that is closer to a Sine wave.
2. A variable or "continuous" controller such as a Volume Pedal or (Positive
modulation) can be turned into a switch-type modulation by setting
POINT1 through 4to 0 but POINTSlo 63. Only when the controller
approaches its maximum input level (over 80%) will anything other than 0
come out of the Tracking Generator. You can assign the Pedal directly to
other destinations in the Patch as normal, giving you the gradual control of
one function with the full range of the Pedal while switching on the second
destination only near the top of the Pedal.
ANSWER TO BONUS QUESTION
Turning an UP SA W into a DOWN SAW means that we are intending to
reverse or invert the direction of the UP SAWs waveform. To accomplish this,
simply set the POINT Values so that the TRACK'S normally positive-linear output
is inverted to a negative or inverse-linear output. Use the following settings:
