Hi guys, I just picked up a Matrix 1000 and am loving its sound so far. However I cannot get it to change banks using Sonar/Cakewalk. I've searched the net and the forums and just can't find the info on how to do it. Can anyone help me out? many thanks, Sion.

The Matrix 1000 is fully programmable, but not from the front panel. It is essentially a Matrix 6r without the front panel controls, and some extra spaces for presets and RAM. Any Matrix 6 editor will program it. There are editor modules for it in X-or/Unisyn, Galaxy, and MIDI Quest. Probably in SoundDiver, too. MIDI Quest and Galaxy also offer their editors in individual form, if you don't have (or expect to get) enough synths to warrant a universal editor. As far as programming the beast goes, this is one of the deepest synths out there. You could spend years with this critter and not come anywhere near finding all the sounds it will make. Its Matrix modulation scheme is surpassed only by the Xpander/Matrix 12. Essentially, anything can be modulated by anything else, which can be modulated by something else, while something else is modulating what was first being modulated, at the same time as. . . Well, you get the picture. BTW, most of the presets suck. This accounts for why they go so cheap. You have to dig in to make it sing --- Source: http://www.synthzone.com/editlib.htm

I did ask a similar type of question related to Cubase in its User Forum, and the answer was that better to look for a an other editor, like SoundDiver or MidiQuest. For Matrix-1000, you can find even dedicated editors, and, there is even a rare Access Matrix-1000 hardware editor!
