Quinsoft Atari Matrix 6 editor
2007-12-26 by simezagreb
Hi all Here's a real geeky one for any matrix / atari / midi maestro's out there. Just scored myself a mint matrix 6r and have been scouring the net for the best editor for the beast. For usability my personal preference is the Quinsoft editor (Matrix6.zip in the group files section) running under Steem Atari emulator. Small problem though... - it doesn't seem to handle bulk and patch dump requests correctly with the matrix. - other Atari editors like Dr T's no problem with bulk (so I know system is working). - Quinsoft does handle parameter editing fine on sysex - For a bulk dump request Dr T's, which works, requests F0 10 06 04 00 00 F7 (this is correct according to docs) - Quinsoft requests F0 10 06 04 01 00 F7 which isn't correct for a bulk - If I use Bolme's midi translator to correct then the matrix dumps ok but Quinsoft prog doesn't receive it. - The message is always "check the midi leads" I can't see anywhere to edit the sysex commands in Quinsoft. I think the program was never finished correctly. How geeky am I ? Does anyone here use this proram successfully? It's got a great layout and I'd love to use it. Alternatively, does anyone use the encore knobby? How do you find it? Thanks for any geeky answers!! Simon
