Oberheim Matrix-12 - The Unit as the Master

EXAMPLE #4
3-Way LAYERED Keyboard
Referring to the 3-Way SPLIT that was created in the last example, the three
Patches used to create the Split can be layered simply by overlapping the Zones'
LIMITS numbers as in ourfirst DOUBLE example:
ZONE1
ZONE 2
ZONE 3
LIMITS
LIMITS
LIMITS
36 TO 96
36 TO 96
36 TO 96
EXAMPLE #5
SPLIT + DOUBLE Keyboard
Again referring to our original 3-Way SPLIT, we can set up the MATRIX-12's
Keyboard so that ZONE 1 plays from the Lower half of the Keyboard and ZONEs
2 and 3 are layered and play from Upper half. Again, this is accomplished simply by
re-defining the Zones' LIMITS:
ZONE1
ZONE 2
ZONE 3
LIMITS
LIMITS
LIMITS
36 TO 60
61 TO 96
61 TO 96
EXAMPLE #1
MATRIX-12 as the Master
Even though we have made many changes to our original MULTI Patch in the
previous section, the following examples will start with this same simple MULTI.
You may want to re-initialize the MULTI Patch at this point using STORE + CLEAR
before proceeding.
MATRIX-12 Driving 1 Slave
Using our experimental MULTI Patch, connecting a Slave instrument's MIDI IN to
the MATRIX-12's MIDI OUT constitutes a simple MIDI Master-Slave system. For
proper interfacing to occur, be sure that the MATRIX-12's BASIC CHANNEL is
set to 1 and your Salve synthesizer is receiving on Channel 1 with its MIDI
Controllers turned on.
In this situation, we have the most basic MIDI system: playing a note or notes on
the Master (the MATRIX-12) will play the same notes ("doubling" or "layering") on
the Slave. Notes will play from both synthesizers across the MATRIX-12's entire
