Re: [oberheim] Matrix 6/1000 patches (not the factory ones)

2012-04-24 by Les Lambert

All I know is I didn't manage to write many for the Matrix 6 as it was too complex for the amount of time I had when I got it.
I used som of the scrambling features in Unisyn, Galaxy probably, to create some more in a particular style I was keen on.
They get named stupidly and generate hours of work reviewing and renaming.

I have collected a lot possibly most of what's been out there, but there aren't really a thousand different sounds to be had, so they tend to be very close to something I already had.
The SoundDiver concatenation of patch dumps into one large library will offer the chance to throw out actual duplicates, 

regardless of what the name is, which helps a bit, but if some unnoticeable controller has been changed, it treats it as a new patch.
Also the lack of name storage in the M1000 makes it difficult to keep track

I have produced forms which give a space for entering comments, so when people borrow my M6 they can review what's in it, init?
But nobody weants to do that, it's too much effort when you have a particular thing you're trying to do, like play a keyboard and get the track moved on.
I do understand, but still......

So I have a couple of hundred that profess to be different in some way. They are stored as SoundDiver Libraries though.
I divided them up later into genres, like Vangelis, Oberheim ( OBXa, OB8 style) and Classic subdivisions like Horns Strings Brass etc, but it's a losing battle.
Now we have samplers, that's all a bit lame.

Is there a particular type of patch you're looking for?

Hi! i've noticed that in the web there's not a share of new and original sysex patches for matrix 1000/6. Do you know something about it?
