Re: Faster envelopes on Matrix 12/Xpander - Conversation with one of the designers

2008-09-09 by analogholic

Wow, 

I´m personally not "obsessed" with faster envelopes on my Matrix 12, I 
rather get reminded of it whenever I play it, don´t need a scope for 
that. It´s so fxxing great, but would be even greater with faster 
envelopes IMHO.

I have some really fast machines like the P5 and the Minimoog D, so 
it´s not like I have to get the M12 faster.

None of the machines I have are "perfect", in fact I have mods thought 
out for most of them, but that´s the way I am I guess :)
I´m gonna syncmod the Mini next...hope that´s not like cursing in 
church :)

When I have the time, I will start out by change the resistors on one 
of the voiceboards like Mr Doidic suggested. After all, it worked out 
on the SE-1. 

Cheerio
