Oberheim Matrix-12 - Enables; Systemx

ENABLES The ENABLES Sub-Page is where the MATRIX-12's MIDI
parameters are turned on (underlined) or off (de-underlined).
These functions - located in the Upper Display - have either an
ON or an OFF status, hence the term enable. This Sub-Page
also contains the MATRIX-12's MIDI IN VELOCITY Scale
selection, located in the Lower Display.

SYSTEMX "System Exclusive" - Each MIDI instrument has
several functions that make it different from other brands.
The System Exclusive code of a MIDI instrument is used
to identify the synthesizer in MIDI and distinguish it from
other manufacturers' products in the system. Thus, each
manufacturer of a MIDI instrument has a special MIDI code
that distinguishes it called a SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
message. It allows, for example, two MATRIX-12s or a
MATRIX-12 and an XPANDER to perform certain
functions that one MATRIX-12 hooked up to "Brand X"
cannot do because of design differences.
One example of this is the ability to send the actual Patch
data (not just the patch Number) from one MATRIX-12 to
another by using MIDI parameter SEND. SYSTEM
EXCLUSIVE allows this type of communication to occur
that cannot happen between two different brands of
synthesizers. If you plan to store MATRIX-12 patches on
your computer, it must first be programmed with
Oberheim's SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE code before this can
take place.
This parameter permits SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE to be
turned ON (underlined) or OFF (de-underlined).
"SYSTEMX" as it is shown on the display is not
necessary for routine MIDI functions.
