[Preset] OB Matrix-1000 / Matrix-6 now version 3 is now final

you mean for a Matrix 6 , right?

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.
