Knob tweaking an Oberheim Matrix6r

Not so much a sound demo rather than a Doepfer Drehbank demo, just aimlessly turning knobs set to common parameters on the Matrix... Put in use it makes programming this synth a joy rather than a chore.
No matrix mods used except for mod wheel opening and closing the filter.

I don't really hear any glitching or slowing of notes in this demo... does that ever happen or does it just respond that smoothly to sysex? Where does the MIDI merging happen? Do you have all the parameters mapped or just a few?

@bluecoast1 - 1. Only a few parameters slow the matrix down, but most work fine as you can see. The M1000 may be a different story though. I dunno.

2. The midi is merged in a merger.

3. The drehbank has 64 knobs, so I've mapped 64 of the most useful parameters. Front panel of the matrix6 is used for the rest.

Yes.

it seems from this video that the matrix6r responds faster to sysex commands then the matrix1000.

(amazing demo btw)

@0e0 Its true... I read somewhere that the 6r has a better buffer for handling incoming data...

Boards of Canada Shmanada...overratted waanbe ambient...Amon Tobin rules the artic tundra of North America.....and btw this demo sucks.....what waste of midi sysex data

@DJPeteJames i played a prophet 08 for the first time the other day and i thought it sounded a lot like the matrix-1000.

@xorezx1

Yes, BCR2000 supports sending sysex with its rotary encoders.

Hi,

Did you have to pre define what each Drehbank controller would effect on the Matrix?

Nice boards of canada sound :D
