RE: [oberheim] Returning and a Softsynth Question

Dear Nicole,
uh-oh, now I understand how hard it is for You... And You have a very unusual interesting setup, too. I will dig about it, one of these days. So, we need a true expert here, not a lame user like me. Come on guys, do Your best !!

       I'm trying to find key sounds from my Matrix 6r
 that I use a lot -- Dreamer, Totohorn, Jocko, and a few
 others like the great sweep bass sound from the instrument.
 Even a non-free 6r/M1000 softsynth that could read my patch
 maps would be worth it if it uses standard controls to do
 things. (I'm blind, so these stupid bitmapped interfaces
 do me no good)
