Just for the record, we don't want the village idiot back. We were happy to
let him go away to somewhere else.

Subject: [oberheim] Re: ear2ear analog patches for the matrix 1000
Hi Sean,
I know what you mean 35 euros for me here in the U.S. is a reach. We need to
give Texas back their village idiot...
I'm using Midiquest 9.1 to edit this Matrix-1000 and it works great.
There is a profile for the Xpander too. Same with Unisyn for Windoze but you
need an older Win98 PC.
The Xpander looks to be very similar but I've never seen any software to
convert directly from one to the other. This would mean you'll be spending
long hours transferring the data from the Matrix to the Xpander. Maybe some
else in the group has more on this...
One more note on the Ear2Ear patch banks. There is a bank of 5 demo patches
available on their site so you can check out their work.
