Oberheim Matrix 6/6R/1000

Single Patch Editor

This editor will work with the Oberheim Matrix 6, 6R, and 1000. These machines have slightly different sysex and capabilities: so if you are working with the Matrix 1000, you need to check the "Matrix 1000" box. If you are working with the 6 or 6R, you need to keep that box unchecked.

Communicating with Edisyn

Make sure that Memory Protect is off (see page 36 of the manual).

Restoring Patches 0...199 on the Matrix 1000

If you erased these patches, you can restore them from sysex files stored in the file resources/Matrix1000Banks.zip in Edisyn's repository.

About Patch Names

The Matrix 1000 and the Matrix 6 store patch names differently. The 1000 doesn't actually store a name, but just information about bank and number. If Edisyn sees this, it will attempt to replace this placeholder name with the original "classic" name. This will include the writeable patches less than 200, unless you uncheck "Use Classic Patch Names" in the Matrix 1000 menu.

Looking Up Patch Names by Classic Matrix 1000 Name

If you would like to load a patch from memory, you can look it up by patch name in the Matrix 1000 menu.
