OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hi Francesco - 

 

Sounds like one of the voice chips is bad.

 

Try this - play the notes up the keyboard from one end to the other one at a
time and see if the bad note repeats itself every 6th note.

Hi, everybody,

 

I am a new user of this group, writing from Italy. I wish somebody could
help me, please: I have always been loving the Matrix1000, wishing to
purchase one. I think I find out one in my hometown, but, after a careful
test, in which the 99% of the functionality was ok,and the sounds and the
filters was magical, I luckily noticed in the end, that a random note played
less "fat" or having a strange behaviour, while the rest played
marvellously. More strange, if I tried to play again the same "bad"note,
after playing another "good" one, it sounded right, while another note that
had sounded correctly before,now,running my finger on the keyboard, it
sounds strange!!! I tried to test all the oscillators behaviour, playing a
single"good sounding note" at least 8 times, and everything sounded ok! So I
am puzzled between a bios or another chip failure, or simply ,and more
wished option, a low battery,since I am almost sure that it has never been
changed during all the years it was in the music shop. Anyway, the display
was on and shiny and the buttons on the panel did their work flying, when I
pushed them during the test....Could I trust a machine like this? Maybe
somebody noticed the same "trouble" on his Matrix1000, and maybe knows how
to fix it.....Please, help!!

I hope I could have explained clearly myself.

Many, many thanks for answering me,

 

Francesco.
