Oberheim Matrix-12 - Reset; Mute

RESET The flESETparameter performs a comprehensive default
function to the MATRIX-12's MIDI settings. A "default" condition
is simply the basic settings used as a starting point for the
synthesizer's Global parameters. Executing RESET results in
the following:
• resets all MIDI assignments in MASTER PAGE.
• turns on OMNI MODEfor all ZONES in SINGLE PATCH
Mode.
• performs the MIDI "All Notes Off" command to:
- any notes being played on the MATRIX-12's Keyboard.
- any notes received by the MATRIX-12 via MIDI IN.
- all instruments slaved to the MATRIX-12 (sends "All
Notes Off" via MIDI OUT).
The MATRIX-12fs MIDI defaults are as follows:
MUTE The MUTE parameter simply performs the same MIDI "All Notes
Off" command as in RESET, but does not otherwise default
the MATRIX-12. This feature is handy when it becomes
necessary to mute notes but not affect anything else in the
synthesizer.
The AK/TEfeature is primarily designed to provide a way to
manually defeat MIDI Notes - those transmitted to the
MATRIX-12 via MIDI IN and those tranmitted from the MATRIX-12
to its Slave(s) via MIDI OUT- in the event that one or more of
these notes "lock" or get "stuck on". It will not, however, affect
the Envelopes1 settings of the current Patch in the MATRIX-12
and will let the sound die out naturally if its Envelopes have long
Release times. Selecting TUNE PAGE will cut the Envelopes'
Release times short.
t OMNI Mode is turned on (underlined) for all six Zones - whether Voices have been
assigned to them or not- in SINGLE PATCH Mode only. The Zones in MULTI PATCH
Mode are not affected because they are programmable.
