Matrix-12 / Xpander are great synths, but they don’t have balls like Memorymoog / Prophet-5, they have boobs instead…

Resonance to 63 means filter self-oscillation and yes this is normal.

Hello

I have a Matrix 12 (Voice 1.4) (Main Software 1.1)

I like it but when I listen to online samples they sound much better..

Mine seems to lack "balls".. I have no trouble with any tuning.
But my low end doesn't seem to be there and many of the factory presets don't really impress.

Once thing I've noticed is that when I adjust the VCF resonance, there is a HUGE difference between 62, and 63.. in fact resonance=63 is the only time the synth grows a pair... 0-62 is wimpy, 63 is burly.

Is this normal?

I really want to get this thing sounding good!!!
