Oberheim Matrix-1000 1U Rackmount Analogue MIDI Sound Model

The analogue Matrix-1000 is essentially 1,000 Matrix patches in a single-space compact rackmount MIDI module. It has the same synth architecture as the Matrix 6. Each of its 6 voices have two DCO's, a low pass filter, 2 VCA's, 3 envelope gens, 2 LFO's, and 2 ramp gens. The sounds are plentiful and good enough, however sounds can only be edited via MIDI, so you'll need an external MIDI editor to edit parameters. You can also load sounds from the Matrix 6 via SysEx or software.

The Matrix 1000 provides an excellent source of pads, textures and ambient sounds. It has 195 "keyboard" sounds, 118 "strings", 130 "woodwinds & perc", 239 "synthesizer", 119 "bass", 74 "lead" and 125 "effects". For the price, there is no better way to find genuine analog Oberheim Matrix sounds in a compact and very in-expensive rack module that is loaded with more sounds than you'll ever need! Notable used of the Matrix-1000 include Apollo 440, Juno Reactor, Moby, Cirrus, Fatboy Slim, Laurent Garnier, ATB, Depeche Mode, Future Sound of London, Pet Shop Boys, and Faithless. (VintageSynth)

This Matrix-1000 has been upgraded with the Tauntek Eprom, version 1.20. This upgrade does the following:

The Tauntek differs from the V1.11 factory firmware in these respects:

• It fixes the bugs concerning MIDI control of parameters 29 (ENV2 to VCA) and 53 (ENV1 Sustain) 
• Unison detune can be controlled via MIDI CC #94. 
• While tweaking a parameter, the Matrix displays the value on its LED display
• Parameter can be controlled via MIDI NRPN, according to standard
• Fast control response: Smooth, musical control of the most-used parameters – the handling of 20 frequently-used parameters is speeded up to real-time. No stepping, no freezing.
