Also, the Master need not have the ability to Split or Double (Layer) its keyboard.
These functions can be done on the MATRIX-12 through the use of its ZONEs.
As a simple starting point, enter SINGLE PATCH Mode on the MATRIX-12 and
select any Single Patch. Enter MASTER PAGE, select VASSIGNand assign all
12 Voices to ZONE 1. Define ZONE 1 as follows:

EXAMPLES
MATRIX-12 as a Simple SLAVE
Referring to the connection outlined above, playing the Master controller will play
the same notes on the MATRIX-12 with a "doubling" or layered effect. If the Patch
that you have selected on the MATRIX-12 employs Pitch-Bend, Vibrato, Volume
and Sustain Pedals, Velocity/Release Velocity, or Pressure, these Controllers will
be active assuming that your Master is transmitting them.
EXAMPLE #2
MATRIX-12 as a SPLIT SLAVE
The MATRIX-12, through the use of ZONES, can be programmed to play two or
more different sounds at the same time in MULTI PATCH Mode. Although
discussed in greater detail in Part 5: CONSTRUCTING the MULTI PATCH,
we will cover some of the basics here.
In this example, we will set up the MATRIX-12 to play two different sound Patches
in a Split Keyboard arrangement. Each part of the Split will be a 6-Voice. This
split will play from the Master controller even if it does not have a
Split capability of its own.

M99 are programmed to be blank from the factory.
