Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

The setting of the Voices1 stereo imaging in PAN, the master Vibrato settings
made in WS, the poly or mono Zone / MIDI Channel Voice settings in
V ASSIGN, and the configuration of the six Zones in ZONE are set for all
100 SINGLE Patches equally. In other words, whatever adjustments you make
for these functions for one of the SINGLE Patches, you make for all of them.
It bears repeating that the magic of the M ATRIX-12 is its ability to program
these very same functions individually for each of the 100 MULTI Patches.
4. As you are operating certain functions in the MATRIX-12, the three
40-character fluorescent displays will always tell you the current status of the
synthesizer. Depending on the operation, the displays will prompt ("ask") you
or permit you to make changes. The various knobs and buttons on the panel
will allow one of five types of operations to be executed:
• ON/OFF status - ON = underlined. OFF = no underline.
• YES/NO status.
• PAGE, MODULATION SOURCE or PATCH # select.
• • Numeric VALUE X or Amount select - depending on the parameter,
possible Values are 0 to +63,0 to 127, -31 to +31 or -63 to +63.
• OPTION select - these functions change name when the button is
pressed or knob is turned. In some cases, they will always be
underlined because they are always ON.
5. In operating the MATRIX-12, performing the above functions will require you
to select or choose a parameter, a numeric Value, etc. "Selecting" will be
indicated on the displays by the name or number being underlined. Selecting
is accomplished by pressing the button directly beneath the parameter's
name or the number, etc. in the display.
For parameters that have ON/OFF Status, for example, an underlined
parameter name indicates that it is ON and no underlining signifies OFF.
6. There are also several "Special-Purpose" functions available in the
MATRIX-12 that are not shown in the displays or printed on the Front Panel.
We will cover them in detail later in the manual.
7. The MATRIX-12 employs a basic design function that remembers everything
about the last state its Pages were in when it was turned off. This "Power
Down/Power Up Status" feature restores all functions to the last state they
were in at turn-off when you turn the MATRIX-12 back on. Things like the
Patch you were playing, the last Page that was called up, all of the changes
(edits) that were made, your MIDI settings and even Auto-tune values are
restored exactly.
