I have a M6 and a M6r now with Access controller and I have had a M1000 in the past,there is a very thin difference in sound. The CEM are interchangeable a

I have had the Matrix-6 and really cannot confirm such a dramatic difference. I *can* tell you that the build quality of the Matrix-6 was less than impressive.

Hi, i recently bought a Matrix 12. The only thing is that the plastic palnel beneath the buttons en displays have become yellowis during the years i guess.

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?

I have three Matrix-1000s. I have nothing against the 6r, and if you are really into programming it from the front panel, I might recommend that instead.
2010-04-14 by LarryS
I completely and totally disagree. (hey, that’s what these lists are for, right?) I had the 6R and now have two M1000s. I wil never own another 6R.

I have two M6r s in my rig and wouldn t trade em for anything...I like the sound, the biuld and the easy programming. Derrick

Definitely 6R!! You can get all Mx1000 programs on the internet, and you can load them via Midi. Also you can do split/layer with 6R!!!! Only thing that it has

Gee the M1000 is only one rack space. That said, if you can spare the rack space keep the 6R. Bi-timbral/separate outs/front panel editing is definitely

In theory, you should be able to switch RAMs at the same time you switch ROMs, so you don t lose data when changing from one program to the next. It would

Definately a hardware problem, where exactly I cant say. The auto tune works by temporarily disconneting and controls to pitch, ie mater tune, pitch wheel etc.
