The Master Page is the heart of the MATRIX-12's performance control. Grasping
the operational concepts behind the design of this Page will enable you to quickly
and easily set up the synthesizer's Master functions.
MASTER PAGE
The following tables summarize the parameters of the MASTER PAGE. The
Upper and Lower Display functions in Page 1 will be discussed in detail at the end
of this summary.
Global control for SINGLE PATCH Mode and MULTI PATCH Mode:
CHAIN
MIDI
MISC
CASS
This is the Page where all existing Single and Multi
Patches can be arranged in a logical "link" for live
performance. Once a CHAIN has been written, the
patches can be stepped through by using a footswitch
plugged into the MATRIX-12's back panel ADVANCE
CHAIN jack or by using the V and"-" on the Keypad.
The MATRIX-12's extensive MIDI assignments are
selected in this Page which enable the synthesizer to act
as either a Master or a Slave in a MIDI system - or both, at
the same time.
A Page of miscellaneous parameters that include Velocity
Scale and Velocity Sensitivity adjustments as well as a
PAGE 2 of controls for setting the MATRIX-12's LEVERs,
PEDALs and EXTTRI (External Trigger) polarities.
"Cassette Interface" - provides a method of saving
and retrieving the data you have programmed into the
MATRIX-12 using standard audio cassette tape. The
entire contents of the synthesizer's memory is saved to
tape and can be loaded back into the MATRIX-12 in
its entirety or selectively. A function called CHECK is also
provided to verify the tape and identify any errors.
