Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

4. ZONE 3 Settings:
We will use ZONE 3 to play the Slave #2. Set it to receive on Channel 2.
Setting up ZONE 2 as follows will play the Slave from the MATRIX-12's
Lower two Octaves only:
Pagei- MODE = ROTATE
LIMITS = 0TO59
CHANNEL = 2
By changing CHANNEL from OMNIXo 2, this ZONE will
transmit on Channel 2 as it will now over-ride what has been
set as the MATRIX-12's Basic Channel.

KEYBOARD CONTROLLERS
SUMMARY
As you can imagine, any number of configurations involving independent control
of up to six Slaves can be accomplished. Connecting more than six just limits you
to doubling the additional synthesizers. The two main parameters involved are
LIMITS which set the Split Points and CHANNELv/hlch allows you to isolate or
combine MIDI OUT control from the MATRIX-12's Keyboard.
The MATRIX-12 as a
MIDI SLAVE
As a Slave in a MIDI system, the MATRIX-12 offers an enormous amount of
flexibility in the way that it can be controlled from a Master instrument. Even if the
Master controller that you are using to drive the MATRIX-12 has a limited MIDI
implementation, the MATRIX-12 can still perform a number of control functions
from the receiving end.
Getting Started
Connect the MIDI IN of the MATRIX-12 to the MIDI OUT of the Master controller.
Your Master instrument needs the ability to transmit 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 the Master to determine what Controllers it can transmit and what
Controller Numbers it is using. These settings should be matched on the MATRIX-
12 unless you are instructed in the examples to change them.
It is not critical that all Controllers are transmitted by the Master. Some MIDI
synthesizers do not transmit nor respond to Volume Pedal, Velocity or Pressure,
as examples. It is not important that your Master have these features but will add
greatly to the usefulness of your MIDI system if it does.
