Oberheim Matrix-12 - Master Section; Volume; Tune Page; Upper Display

MASTER
The MASTER Section of the MATRIX-12 permits the selection of the GLOBAL
functions - the overall functions of the synthesizer that are not programmable per
Patch-that affect the entire instrument regardless of what Page is selected later.
VOLUME
This knob simply controls the overall audio output level of the MATRIX-12. When
it is fully counter-clockwise, the mixed AUDIO OUT jacks - LEFT, MONO and
RIGHT- are effectively turned off. Full volume is achieved when the control is
turned fully clockwise.
The VOLUME knob simultaneously controls the output of the synthesizer
through the LEFT, MONO, and RIGHT AUDIO OUT jacks on the MATRIX-12's
back panel. It also controls the volume output of the MATRIX-12 in
CASSETTE MODE as a monitor during data transfer.
If you have your MATRIX-12 retro-fitted with the optional Individual Voice
Outputs, the Master VOLUME control has no effect on their output level.
TUNE PAGE
The TUNE PAGE key selects the MATRIX-12's functions that affect its overall
tuning. Pressing this buton displays the available Tuning parameters:

parameters not tuned on other synthesizers. PW selects the calibration
of the Voices' Pulse Widths to insure uniformity among the 24 oscillators.
RES calibrates the Resonance level of each of the 12 Voltage Controlled
Filters (one per Voice). VCFtunes the frequency of each Filter. VCA, like
