Oberheim Patch Programming Experts

Hi. I've got a Matrix-6, which I've had for years and still love. It's getting a bit unreliable at times...and also, I've been trying to move everything I can to softsynths. I got Sonicprojects OP-X (reaktor), OBXa emulator, which so far has been very good. Thought there's a couple of Matrix-6 patches I'd like to recreate as closely as I can on this new softsynth. The original Matrix sounds, I believe, were based on Xpander or OBX patches. In particular, patches (on the matrix-6) "OBXA-D2" and "ODX-7". The sounds are very similar to the synth sounds on "The Beautiful Ones" by Prince, if that reference helps at all. I am pretty good at programming the Matrix-6, but I just don't have the facility with the OBX programming to know how to try to back-translate to program similar sounds... If anyone can help me with this, any tips, I would really appreciate. Maybe someone even has the patch parameters from an Xpander or OBXa that match those Matrix-6 sounds some. Thank you
