Re: [oberheim] Matrix 6R - only Left/Mono out works...

2006-12-17 by klosmon

This comes up frequently (I've had several Matrix 6/6R units brought in for 
repair with this "problem") -- it's another case of "RTFM"  ("Read The 
Friendly Manual").

I quote from page 8:  "When STEREO is set to ON, the LEFT/MONO jack outputs 
all sounds from single patches and the sound from the LOWER patch when in 
SPLIT mode;  the RIGHT jack only outputs sound when in SPLIT mode, and this 
sound comes from the UPPER patch."

To learn how to access & program SPLIT mode, RTFM
(read the funny manual)
(read the fine manual)
(read the funky manual)
(READ THE FRIGGIN' THING)
