Oberheim Matrix-12 - Lower Display

Lower Display
The LOWER display permits the operation of the synthesizer's three Master Tune
functions. These parameters are not programmable per Patch, but will remain set
in Global memory as they are until you change them, even if you call up another
Page, turn the MATRIX-12 off, etc.
MTUNE
-OCT+OCT
TRANSPOSE
This is the MATRIX-12's Master Fine Tune adjustment,
used to tune the entire synthesizer as a whole to other
instruments. The rotary control directly beneath the
number readout is used to make this adjustment. Its
range is from -63 to +63 which represents a quarter-
tone sharp or flat. A setting of 0 is A=440Hz.
These two parameters are the Master Octave Switching
controls. Use these buttons directly beneath their
displays to operate these functions. The range of this
function is five octaves. -OCTwill transpose the
MATRIX-12 as a whole down a maximum of three octaves
in 1-octave increments; +OCTtransposes up a
maximum of two octaves in 1 -octave increments.
When these two controls are used, a value of 72will be
added or subtracted from the value shown in the
TRANSPOSE control in the adjacent display segment
until the upper or lower limits of transpose are reached.
See its description below.
This is the MATRIX-12's Master Transpose control which
transposes the entire synthesizer in semi-tone
increments. Its range is the same as the Master Octave
Switching controls: three octaves down or two octaves
up. The display will indicate the number of semi-tones of
transposition numerically from-36 to +24. Use the knob
directly beneath the number display to adjust this
parameter.
