Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

BUILDING A MULTI PATCH: Phase II
The MULTI Patch that we just created can be modified in a number of ways using
the parameters in the SINGLE/MULTI PATCH PAGE SELECT section. For
example, you may want to set up specialized Vibrato, Panning, Detuning, and
Transposition pages, just to name a few. You might also find the need to re-assign
the Voices to a different Zones.
The functions of the PROGRAMMER are also involved in the construction of
MULTI Patches and will be reviewed in this section as well.The following
information describes these operations, some being new instructions and some
taken from earlier sections of this manual. With the MULTI Patch that we just
assembled as a starting point, it is suggested that you try these features as you
read them.
The PATCH EDIT Buttons
These buttons are active only in MULTI PATCH Mode. PATCH EDITing in
MULTI PATCH Mode allows you to select and manipulate eagh of the
MATRIX-12's twelve Voices independently.
In MULTI PATCH Mode, you are able to press any one of the PATCH EDIT
buttons, all six, or any combination of two, three, four or five. Pressing one or
more buttons at the same time selects that Voice or Voices. You can now
perform a number of different operations:
Patch Selection
MULTI PATCH Mode, among other things, gives the MATRIX-12 its
"Multi-Timbral" capability -the ability for its Voices to play different sounds
at the same time.
If one Voice is selected, the Keypad is used to select the Patch number -
taken from the bank of SINGLE Patches - that this selected Voice will play.
Thus, the MATRIX-12 can be programmed to play 12 different sounds at
once by selecting a new Patch on the Keypad for each Voice, one at a
time.
If two or more (up to six) Voices are selected, selecting a Patch from the
Keypad assigns it to all Voices that are underlined. This is a handy time-
saver. To select more than one Voice, you must press the desired PATCH
EDIT buttons all at the same time.
Voice Selection
When a Voice or Voices are selected in one bank, the corresponding
Voice or Voices are selected and underlined in the other bank. However,
whatever patch selections or edits to the selected Voices' Patches you
make will only affect the Voices currently being displayed. This feature
makes it possible to put corresponding Voices in both Voice Banks in
PATCH EDIT Mode without having to keep pressing the same buttons
again.
