Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

and recognized by the Slave MATRIX-12. The same holds true when
connecting a MATRIX-12 and an XPANDER, except that certain functions on
the MATRIX-12 not found on the XPANDER (such as ZONES 4,5 and 6,
VOICES 1-6/VOICES 7-12 and the MISCPage in MASTER PAGE, etc.) will not
be recognized on the XPANDER. Consequently, if the XPANDER is the
Master, certain of its functions will not be received by the MATRIX-12.
Examples of this are the CV Input selections, XMITCV'in the MIDI
ENABLES Page, etc.
If the Master Oberheim instrument enters the TUNE PAGE, the Slave Oberheim
instrument will also enter it. However, if the Master is tuned by selecting any
one of the TUNE parameters, the Slave Oberheim will not tune because it has
been programmed to ignore MIDI Tune Request.
MIDI Patch Change Commands
When using the MIDI Patch Change function, both Oberheim instruments
must have SVSTEMXenabled (as well as PATCH, of course) in order for
the Slave Oberheim to respond to the Master's switching between SINGLE
Patch Mode and MULTI Patch Mode.
SYSTEMXmust also be enabled on both the Master and Slave Oberheim
instruments for MIDI Patch Changes to occur when using the ADVANCE CHAIN
footswitch or the V and"-" buttons on the Master Oberheim.
If CHAIN \s being used on the Master Oberheim, it will send MIDI Patch
Numbers to the Slave Oberheim on the BASIC CHANNEL when the
ADVANCE CHAIN footswitch or the V and H-M buttons are used. Just be sure
that PATCH and SYSTEMX are enabled for both instruments. If SYSTEMX
is disabled on either the Master or the Slave Oberheim, the Slave will not
respond at all to Patch Changes made from the Master in CHAIN.
CONTROL This parameter selects the ON/OFF status of the MIDI
Controllers (LEVER1, LEVER2, PEDAL1, PEDAL2 and
PRESSURE) whose MIDI Controller Numbers you
selected in the MIDI CTRLS Sub-Page.
Important: Please take note that this is a Global function and
depends on the status of the ZONES when MIDI OUT is
used. For example, if ZONE 2 is using MIDI OUT but
CONTROLLERS is not selected for that ZONE in
Page 2, the MATRIX-12 will not transmit MIDI Controllers
with the Notes sent from that ZONE even if CONTROL
is selected here. When CONTROL is selected in this
Page, all Voices assigned to a ZONE that has MIDI IN
selected or Voices assigned to a single MIDI Channel to
receive on will recognize MIDI Controller information.
• When ON (underlined^, the MATRIX-12 will transmit and
receive MIDI Controllers globally.
• When OFF (de-underlined), the MATRIX-12 will not
transmit MIDI Controllers and will ignore MIDI Controller
information transmitted to it when it is a Slave.
