Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

STORE
Although we have already talked about the use of this button, we will
summarize its functions in this discussion. As you will remember, the
MATRIX-12 contains 100 SINGLE and 100 MULTI Patches in memory,
numbered 00through 99 on the display for each Patch Mode. These index
numbers are often referred to as the Patch's location in memory.
1. Programming
STORE is used primarily to program or "write" sound Patches into the
MATRIX-12fs memory. Newly created Patches or existing Patches that you
have modified (edited) are programmed into memory using STORE.
STORE is used to program both SINGLE Patches and MULTI Patches into
memory. To program a Patch (either SINGLE or MULTI) into memory:
1. Make sure that the MEMORY PROTECT switch on the MATRIX-12's back
panel is switched to its OFF position. Attempting to STORE when
MEMORY PROTECT is on will display the message...
MEMORY PROTECTED
... and wil not permit you to STORE until MEMORY PROTECT is disabled.
Keep in mind also that the Patch location that you select to write this
new Patch in will be erased and replaced with the new Patch.
2. When you are ready to write the Patch into memory, press and hold the
STORE button down. The currently displayed Patch Number will be
replaced by" **" as long as STORE is being held.
3. While you are holding STORE down, type in a 2-digit number for the
Patch on the Keypad where you want it to be written. The" **"
will be replaced with this Patch Number and the Patch will be written
into the MATRIX-12(s memory.
Notice that you must type in a 2-digit number for the Patch to be stored.
After you type in the first of the two digits, the MATRIX-12 will give you
approximately two full seconds to type in the second digit. If you hesitate
for too long a time, the display will revert to its original state and STOR E
will not occur.
The same will hold true if you mistakenly type in a 3-digit number. The
MATRIX-12 is expecting two digits, one after the other, to be entered from
the Keypad. It recognizes Patch Numbers as being valid only if they are
entered as pairs. The third number of three digits will be understood by
the synthesizer as being the first number of another pair. The first two will
be the Patch Number in which the Patch is actually stored. Be careful!
