Oberheim Matrix-12 - Display Modes; Patch;Voice Editing

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.
As an example, if Voices 1 and 2 are selected, changing Banks selects
Voices 7 and 8. Voices 1 and 2 will retain their settings but are no longer
selected because 7 and 8 are now being displayed. Performing edits
affects only those Voices being displayed.
3. Display Modes
The PROGRAMMER display permits you to work with only six Voices at
one time. The VOICES 1 -6/VOICES 7-12 button permits switching
between the two banks of Voices. You can switch between the two Voice
Banks at anytime in MULTI PATCH Mode and in the PAN and VASSIGN
Pages of SINGLE PATCH Mode.
4. Patch/Voice Editing
There will be times when the sound of one or more of the SINGLE Patches
used in a MULTI Patch will need to be edited. As an example, you may
decide that a particular Patch would sound better in the MULTI Patch if it
just had a few changes made. It is possible to edit a SINGLE Patch while it
is in a MULTI Patch.
To edit a patch for one Voice:
1. Press the PATCH EDIT button of the Voice that contains the
Patch you want to change so that it becomes underlined. This
actually enters "SINGLE PATCH Mode" for this Voice
and the PAGE MODIFIER will now display the SINGLE PATCH
Pages for the Patch assigned to this Voice.
2. All of the Single Patch Edit Pages under the front panel heading
SINGLE/MULTI PATCH PAGE SELECT are now active so thatthe
actual sound of this Patch can be edited because the MATRIX-12
has effectively entered SINGLE PATCH Mode for this Voice alone.
You can now make whatever changes to the Patch that you want.
3. After you have made any changes to the Patch, you can compare
this edited Patch in the MULTI Patch with its original, unedited
version. Just press its PATCH EDIT button and the original version
is recalled from memory. Its Patch Number will flash off and on to
remind you that you are Comparing.
4. Your edits to this Patch can be programmed into memory as well, but
this will also affect this Patch in SINGLE PATCH Mode. Make sure
thatthe MEMORY PROTECT switch on the MATRIX-12's back
panel is switched to its OFF position. Press and hold the red
STORE button. While you are holding it, type in the 2-digit Patch
Number on the Keypad. Again, please keep in mind that if this
function is performed, you will have also permanently
edited this particular Patch in its SINGLE PATCH
location as well.
