Re: What views on the "Oberheim Matrix-6R analogue MIDI synthesizer module"

2005-04-16 by synthflake

I had a Matrix 6 (keyboard version of the 6R) at one time and had lots 
of reliabilty problems with it. At that time in Oberheims life they had 
some quality issues. Mine was in the power supply. When it was working 
it sounded great. I also have a Matrix 1000 and did some side by side 
comparisons of the two units using the same patches. To me they sounded 
identical, some say the 6/6R sound fatter, I didn't see that. I picked 
up the 6 to program my 1000, but have since been introduced to the PC 
programming method and it's easier and more in depth than the Matrix 6 
was. I use the Matrix 2001 program. I don't won't to chase you off from 
this deal, it may be a good unit, I just have had problems with the 
related keyboard unit. Good Luck!
