Oberheim Matrix-12 - Single Patch;Master Page; PAN Page

Multi Patch and Global data are ignored - existing data will not be changed.
If a Multi Patch or Global data transfer is attempted, the XPANDER will read
"DATA COMPLETED" but will not actually load any information.
Any XPANDER can read tapes recorded at high speed.

SINGLE PATCH Mode uses four of the MULTI PATCH Mode's "Control Pages" so
that the MATRIX-12's 100 SINGLE Patches can be played like a normal
synthesizer. Although these SINGLE PATCH Mode MASTER Sub-Pages lack
the sophistication and programmability of their MULTI PATCH Mode counter
parts, their presence is necessary in order to play any of the SINGLE Patches: you
must have a way to assign the Voices to play from the Keyboard, Pan them in the
stereo mix, add Vibrato and select the available Keyboard performance modes in
ZONE.
Thus, the MATRIX-12 provides a type of "MULTI Patch'1 that is reserved only for
SINGLE Patches. And the settings that you make in these Sub-Pages hold true
for all SINGLE Patches -they are Global. Once you have made the necessary
settings, the MATRIX-12*s SINGLE Patches can then be played normally from the
Keyboard or from MIDI IN. MIDI OUT capability can also be selected while in this
Mode.
PAN
The PAN Page permits you to direct the audio output of each Voice between the
LEFT and RIGHT stereo outputs located on the MATRIX-12's rear panel. Their
operation is really not much different than that of a mixing console except that the
stereo "placement11 is limited to seven positions (plus OFF) instead of being
continuously variable. Each Voice is set independently and can be assigned to
any of the seven placement positions desired.
