OBERHEIM SYNTH

My winning team is Mx6+Mx1000=12 poly (group mode). 
First bank of Mx1000 is identical as on Mx6.
Poor men's MX12....
Nice slick good looking keyboard!!!
At least there's no need to worry about polyphony, and collection of sounds (1000)...
Works for me!!

      On the Matrix 6R midi volume does not work, but only can be made to work by

explicity assigning it to a VCA.

Not exactly convenient.



"wearable keyboard", huh?  LOL!  That was precisely what I got my first 6R

for!  Fabulous.  I always wondered who else ever did that.



Luckily, I've gone to M1000 (2 of them) since then.  And, alas, I'm really

too old and ugly to do much dancing with a keyboard any more.



Roland Axis and Yamaha KX-1



Still got 'em :-)
