No.
There�s much more not working as expected w/ the M1K depending on what you want to do, but you�ll find such issues in almost any other midi keyboards and tone generators too, regardless their age.
It seems, not too much musicians recognize(d) and go/went deep into the power of midi because it�s a complex system and the same is valid for the manufacturers of midified instruments, hardware or software.
I myself have the impression, midi is 2nd row in the heads of users and developers.
It�s no secret, w/ the 1st upcoming midi processing machines like the Yamaha MEP-4, it was a nitemare to understand this system for users because they had to learn HEX and the midi specs, too much for musicians who only wanted to play.
So, the interest in midi was always limited and focussed on the rudimentary functions, note on/off, velocity, channel after touch, CC#4, PB and mod-wheel, program changes, bank changes later.
If these things work, it covers the demands of 90% of the users of midi hardware synthesizers.
B.t.w., I think, I don�t know all my machines very well because I didn�t everything possible with every machine.
But what I�ve done once, I know,- just learning by doing and like almost any musician, I hate reading manuals :-)))
I remember, I buyed a TX816 in 1985 for a tour and I was confrontated w/ a machine which offered 3 push buttons per tonegenerator with acces to nly a very few parameters.
I had only a Commodore SX and a DX bankmanager available and had to collect and organize patches but editing to do w/ a DX7 keyboard transmitting parameters over midi. All was new to me and there was a timepressure of a rehearsal of 10 days w/ a setlist of 30 songs to learn and to program. My Mini, the OB-8 and the Prophet 5 became a no-brainer and this torture drove me nuts,- but I learned a lot about midi.

Nobody seems to be able to get NRPN work on Matrix-1000.
And for a good reason: NRPN is not properly implemented. Looks like somebody started coding it and then had to quit in a hurry...

A early example of the distributor wanted to release the machine before it was finished and because of the users limited expectations (see above), only a few people became aware of the bugs and the machine became a mega seller,- he, he, he
