you mean for a Matrix 6 , right?

23

Correct, for the matrix 6

@Newlgnis thank you so much for the great contribution to further develop this preset.
Just tried the preset for the matrix6 and wonder if the feature request from @mllwaukee has been implemented by @NewIgnis.
As I can wether pull a patch from the matrix6 nor change current patch, I can change parameters of the current on though.
I wonder if the issue is on my end or if the feature hasn’t been implemented (yet).

The new version 3 is out, now compatible with firmware version 3.6

  • V3.0
    • Globals save function!
    • You can switch between Poly and Mono mode.
    • Envelope controls switch between ADSR and ADR
    • Improved visuals
    • Bi-directional program change
    • Bug fixing

I still plan to add:

  • patch initialization
  • show the 800 preset patch names
  • test it in psuedo mpe / guitar mode with an Expressive Osmose

Awww thanks for sharing this is great!
Very much looking forward for the pseudo mpe mode if that happens :))

All patch names in banks 2-9 for the Matrix-1000 now resolve.

Thanks @kiwigrass for the help with the pdf - excel conversion.

Added now : 3 init patches on page 5, enlightening the basic sonic capacities:

  • ordinary triangle
  • pure FM via filter
  • hard sync setting

I just tested the Matrix, and it indeed plays in psuedo MPEmode. For the Matrix you need to put it in mono mode. Regular mono modo , also called Guitar modo, puts the 6 voices in subsequent MIDI channels.
By using an Osmose as controller, and putting this in Multi-Channel mode, this controls the Matrix with separate aftertouch, velocity and pitch bend per note.

I do have the impression the Matrix levers 2 and 3 (so mod wheel and breath control) are only listened to on the base channel. So with Osmose lever 3 is not useful (the Osmose only triggers it every six notes, but lever 2 can be controlled via the mod slider on the Osmose, albeit for all 6 voices at once.

Still: impressive. It’s simply amazing such an old synth is capable of being so expressive.

@NewIgnis thanks for your work and contributions, I am having an issue with my Matrix 6
Context: using new Electra Mini, Matrix 6 with Tauntek firmware

I cannot get the Matrix 6 to respond to the electra at all, I have tried adapting your preset to the mini (based on Martin’s description in a different thread about using the beta app to open two layouts and copy controllers over)
I have also tried directly with new sysex controls

I have gotten my electra to work with other synths via Sysex and CC, and I can get my Matrix 6 to respond to Sysex from a Novation Remote SL Mk 1, though only when the Matrix is already in the Patch Edit mode

Any tips or thoughts you can share to help illuminate are appreciated, but no problem if not

Unfortunately I’ve never had the Matrix 6 , so testing was and is not possible for me .
There are 2 orange switches on page 5 to go into Matrix 6 mode:

  • set the Matrix 6 edit
  • choose between M-1000 and M-6 behaviour.
