Oberheim Matrix1000 Editor

It is not possible to edit the Matrix-1000 on the hardware panel. It was meant as a preset machine - with 800 rom-presets and 200 editable nvram-presets. In fact it is a full featured Oberheim Matrix-6 synth in a 1u rack case. The .syx patch/bank files are compatible but the Matrix-1000 cannot save patch names. That's the only difference.

Because of this potential (getting a Matrix-6 out of a Matrix-1000) there are several hardware and software ediors around. This one is my contribution to it. It may not beat a hardware-controller but I'd say it has a different purpose. This panel allows to edit every single parameter of the Matrix-1000. E.g. I think that the Global/Master parameters are quite important but very rarely handled by editors. Moreover, the editor is a panel with motor-faders featuring total-recall of all parameters. Select a patch on the editor and look at the patch how it is done. All faders and switches visualize the actual patch running on the synth.
