Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

Naturally, using the MATRIX-12fs LEVER2 or a Master Controller'sVibrato Wheel
are the most popular methods when using Vibrato as a performance modulation,
but this parameter allows you to use PEDAL2 for this purpose as well.
AMP = OFF
If turned OFF, the VIB will run at its output level set in Page 1 AMP.
AMP = LEV2
AMP = PED2
If LEVER2 or PEDAL2 is selected, the amount of Vibrato will
depend on using the Lever or Pedal. Set Page 1 AMP to 0 and let
the Pedal or Lever bring it in.
Amount If LEVER2 or PEDAL2 is selected, you can set the range of the
Lever or Pedal in this parameter. It is variable from -63 to +63.
Depending on the polarities of the Levers set in Page 2 of MISC,
positive values increase the amount of WSas the MATRIX-12fs
LEVER2 is pulled toward you. Negative values reverse this
action and the amount of VIB will increase as the MATRIX-12fs
LEVER2 is pushed away from you.
MATRIX-12 CONTROL: BASIC OPERATIONS
As we mentioned just a moment ago, the Master Page is the heart of the MATRIX-
12fs performance control and contains all of the parameters that allow you to
determine the precise way that the synthesizer will play. Think of the Master Page
as your "Home Base11 where you can perform the basic management of the
synthesizer's playing capabilities.
The MATRIX-12, as a result of its flexible design, permits you as the player to use
it in four different ways, as...
... an INDEPENDENT, stand alone instrument.
... the MASTER instrument in a MIDI music system.
... a SLAVE instrument in a MIDI system.
... both a MASTER and a SLAVE, at the same time, in a MIDI system.
The following discussions will instruct you how to use the MATRIX-12 in each of
these four situations. Once you get acquainted with the enormous flexibility of
this instrument, you will be limited only by your imagination.
The Ground Rules
In order for all this new information you're about to get to make sense, we'll be
starting out using the Master Page functions in their most basic form. Set up your
MATRIX-12 as follows:
1. We want the MATRIX-12 to be in SINGLE PATCH Mode. Refer to the
Programmer display and make sure that a Single Patch has been selected.
You can select any Single Patch you want.
