Re: [xpantastic] Re: Transfering Matrix1000 patchs over to an Xpander?

2008-08-12 by PeWe

Well said, Karl, - these points below are the difficult ones.

Like you, I did it by writing all on paper 1st,- but I cannot agree to the parameters scale exactly the same.
They do numerically, but what´s audible is different, so I had to change these values which was a lot of work.
Unfortunally, I lost these patches after all this work later because the disk, I stored the patches on, wasn´t readable anymore.
I gave up then because of the time investment, but I learned pretty much of programming Xpander and M1K and earned money w/ it.

Finally, I think it´s a better idea to buy a used Matrix1000 in addition and if a Xpander exsits already...
200 bucks,- how much time someone can invest for 200 bucks coding a program or transfering files and rename ´em ?

All is possible in the end, but what a complex work and what for ?

Hi Tony,


" Write em down on paper and program
them in the M12".


As far as I can tell the ranges are all the same.
(except for the portamento and the wave shape) Oberheim did a nice
job here, making the ranges compatable "I remember calling there Rep
once and told him so".

there are all those hardwired mods on the M1K.
I count - 18 Rats, that only leaves 2 out of 10 custom mode routings.
This creates a problem with the Xpanders 20 routing max.
I guess you could ditch some of the less used hard wired routings
in the M1K like portomento by velocity.


Yes, you are right many
compromises.


But kinda possible.
