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

I am waiting for a matrix 1000. I have a BCR2000 knobbox, so I am not 
really interested in PC1600 patches, but would love to hear HOW you 
programmed the box (did you use sysex or NRPNs as the manual suggests 
is possible without further explanation?)!!
