Oberheim Matrix-12 - Options

In this situation, we have the most basic MIDI system: playing a note or notes on
the Master (the MATRIX-12) will play the same notes ("doubling" or "layering") on
the Slave. Notes will play from both synthesizers across the MATRIX-12's entire
Keyboard. But there are many more ways that this basic system can be used. The
following examples are just a few suggestions.
OPTIONS
With this basic MIDI system as a starting point, we can come up with a number of
useful configurations using the MATRIX-12 as the Master driving one Slave.
Option 1:
Split MATRIX-12 Keyboard - MATRIX-12 Voices play from the Upper half,
Slave synthesizer plays from the MATRIX-12fs Lower half. We will now use two
ZONEs in order to split the MATRIX-12fs Keyboard.
MATRIX-12 Assignments -
1. All Voices still play polyphonically f ron ZON E1. Do not change
VASSIGN.
2. ZONE 1 Settings:
Pagei- LIMITS = 60 T0127
Page 2 - The following parameters should be enabled only:
KEYBOARD
VOICE ROB (optional)
Be sure that MIDI OUT\s disabled.
3. ZONE 2 Settings:
We will use ZONE 2 to play the Slave. Since all 12 MATRIX-12 Voices
are playing fron ZONE 1 and its MIDI OUT has been turned off, the
Upper half of the MATRIX-12's Keyboard (from Middle C and higher) will
play the MATRIX-12 only. Setting up ZONE 2 as follows will play the
Slave from the MATRIX-12fs Lower Keyboard half only:
Pagei- MODE = ROTATE
LIMITS = 0TO59
CHANNEL = OMNI
