Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

PROGRAMMER
We are now ready to start operating the MATRIX-12. The most basic and often-
used section of the Front Panel is the PROGRAMM ER. By now, you've no doubt
tried a few of the Patches and have gotten a feel for the Programmer already. In
the next few pages we will cover the operation of the Programmer in detail and
describe its special features. The Programmer does considerably more than just
allow you to change Patches.

DISPLAY
The Programmer's single display is divided into four sections whose titles are
printed above them on the panel itself, described as follows:
1. PATCH
The term "Patch" has two meanings in the MATRIX-12:
A SINGLE Patch is defined as a programmed sound that the
synthesizer will play. Each sound is programmed into a memory location in
the MATRIX-12 identified by an index number called a Patch Number.
A MULTI Patch is a memory location that permits you to program each of
the 12 Voices with any of the existing SINGLE Patches. It is the MULTI
Patch that gives the MATRIX-12 its multi-timbral (two or more sounds at
once) capability.
The number of the Patch currently selected is shown in this section of the
display. Just to the left of the Patch Number is a letter that tells you the Patch
Mode of the MATRIX-12. "Sfl is displayed for SINGLE PATCH Mode; "AT is
displayed for MULTI PATCH Mode.
The memory capacity of the MATRIX-12 is 100 SINGLE Patches, numbered
SOO throughS99, and 100 MULTI Patches, numbered M00through M99.
