Oberheim Matrix-12 Sounds

http://gstormelectronica.blogspot.com/
This is sound demo of the Oberheim Matrix-12 synthesizer. All but two of the patches are my original creation and hopefully shows some of the ridiculously flexible sound architecture that is possible with this board. I'm playing some riffs both of my own original music and from some of the bands that have influenced me. The last bit, Intro to Gunslinger, while it is short it DID take a couple of weeks practice to get it right and is backed by a Machinedrum.

A summary of song riffs played:
G-Storm - Miranda (By The Sea)
Radiohead - All I Need
Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence
G-Storm - Cerulean Deraileur
Jimmy Van M ft. Terra Deva - bassline from Love Like Sleep
G-Storm - Spaced Out Beauty
New Order - Blue Monday
G-Storm - Aerial
808 State - breakdown from In Yer Face
Garbage - You Look So Fine
Sasha - Mr Tiddles
Go West - intro to Call Me
G-Storm - untitled track
G-Storm - Expectations (a really old unrecorded track of mine)
Spaced Out Beauty
M83 - You Appearing
Expectations
Immersion Domain - 1000 Images (I used the same Limuidz factory patch on the Xpander for that track)
Van Halen - I'll Wait (Eddie used an OB-Xa, I believe)
G-Storm - Descendant
Vangelis - Blade Runner (Opening Titles)
G-Storm - Gunslinger
G-Storm - intro to Gunslinger

Recorded via Alesis Multimix-8 and into Macbook w/ only occasional additional effects from the Multimix added for select sounds.

this is the most amazing synth I ever heard, sounds so fat!

@5p1r17 Check out my new track Aerial. The Matrix-12 and Andromeda wickedness shows prominently.

Thanks for the demos.1:28, 2:37, 5:26, 6:20.

Anyone share the same sentiments as me, how I wish each track could be longer & I can melt away in the lushness, fattest, thickest of the best analog pads ever......

@dreamrecorder thanks for checking out my videos and music! -g

I've got an Xpander and I LOOOOOOOOOVE it

Oberheim FTW

@666patrickbateman666 You can say goodbye to all your free time now =) TRICKS!: It is possible to assign more than one instance of the same mod to a single destination. Also, just because the OSC FREQ says "0" doesn't mean it can't be set lower....for a full octave lower, assign two instances of ENV3 to OSC1 FREQ, set the first mod to -63 and the second to around -58 (or so) using OSC2 as tuning reference. Hmm...I wonder if LFO frequencies from the OSCs are possible?

5:25 - Pad to die for!

Great programming skills, and I love how juicy and meaty this synth sounds. I heard the Matrix had slow LFOs, I don't remember if Xpander had the same speeds on the LFOs. But man Oberheims are great
