Oberheim Matrix-12 - Slave Synthesizer Assignments

Getting Started
Your Slave instalment needs to have the ability to receive MIDI Notes (Notes,
Velocity and Release Velocity) and Controllers (Pitch-Bend, Vibrato, Volume
Pedal, Sustain Pedal, Pressure/After-Touch and Patch Changes). Consult the
Owner's Manual of your Slave to determine what Controllers it can transmit and
receive and what Controller Numbers it is using. These settings should be
matched on the MATRIX-12.
It is not critical that all Controllers are recognized by the Slave. Some MIDI
synthesizers do not respond to Volume Pedal, Velocity or Pressure, as
examples. It is not important that your Slave have these features but will add
greatly to the usefulness of your MIDI system if it does.
As a simple starting point, enter SINGLE PATCH Mode on the MATRIX-12 and
select any Single Patch. Press MASTER PAGE, select VASSIGNand assign all
12 Voices to ZONE 1.
EXAMPLES

Using the set-up above, the MATRIX-12 is playing all 12 Voices from ZONE 1
polyphonically. Connecting a Slave instrument's MIDI IN to the MATRIX-12fs MIDI
OUT constitutes a simple MIDI Master-Slave system. For proper interfacing to
occur, the following checklist will cover the necessary settings:
