Oberheim Matrix-12 - Single Patch;Multi Patch Switches; Edit Compare

SINGLE MULTI
PATCH PATCH
These two switches enable you to select between the two banks of Patches in
the MATRIX-12, referred to as "Patch Modes". You are able to switch back and
forth between SINGLE PATCH Mode and MULTI PATCH Mode at any time:
• If the MATRIX-12 is in MASTER PAGE or TUNE PAGE when the Patch
Mode is switched, it will remain in the MASTER or TUNE Pages. Notice that
the Lower display is removed in the MASTER PAGE displays of MULTI
PATCH Mode. This is because these four Sub-Pages are programmable
individually in MULTI PATCH Mode.
• If the MATRIX-12 is in any other Page when the banks are switched, the
last Page that the synthesizer was in previously in that Mode will be
recalled. This enables you to switch between Patch Modes without losing
your place.
EDIT COMPARE - Notice that the SINGLE PATCH Numberorthe MULTI
PATCH Number is underlined. This indicates that it is currently selected. If you
make any changes at all to a Patch, an edit indicator dot will appear in the lower
right-hand comer of the Patch Number to remind you that the patch has been
edited. You are able to compare the edited version of the Patch with the
original programmed version.
• If you have edited a Patch in SINGLE PATCH Mode, press the SINGLE
PATCH button once to begin comparing. The underline will disappear and
the Patch Number will flash off and on. The MATRIX-12 will recall the
programmed version of the Patch and playing the synthesizer will allow you
to hear what the Patch sounded like before you started making changes.
• Selecting different Pages will also permit you to view the original settings
of the Patch as well. This feature is extremely useful, especially if you have
made many changes and need to see the original values.
• You cannot perform any new edits while the MATRIX-12 is comparing.
Attempting to use the knobs and buttons in the PAGE MODIFIER
Section for purposes of editing will have no effect and the controls will
appear to have gone dead.
• You cannot STORE (program into memory) while comparing. If you attempt
to STORE the patch while comparing, the Upper display in the PAGE
MODIFIER Section will read:
COMPARING - CANT STORE
• You cannot change to a different Patch Number while comparing. If you
attempt to switch to another Patch while comparing, the Upper display in
the PAGE MODIFIER Section will read:
COMPARING - CANT CHANGE PATCHES
