Re: Matrix 1000 and detuning of 6 voices

2008-08-14 by Karl

Hi all,

I have never seen one, but there was a rack synth from England called 
the Cheeta MS6. This was close to the M1K, but was also multitam. 
Does anyone know if this synth can detune its voices?      

As far as I can tell: 
If you absolutly have to have voice detuning on the M1K. You could
hardware mod this with a microcontroller. The micro could be wired in 
between the CEM voice chips and the master 6809 cpu in the M1K.
The firmware of the Mod micro would insert a slight delay into each
frequency to detune the voices. Controlling it would be a different 
story. 
All I can think of, is to add a potentiometer on the back (or front)
that is wired into the mod. This knob would detune all the voices at
once. I don't see any way to make this programmable either.  

It is posible, but a lot of work for only one non-programmable 
function.

Karl
