PROGRAMMING THE MA TRIX-6R
As we mentioned earlier, all of the operating parameters of the MATRIX-GR
are printed on the top panel, arranged into groups of related functions
called Pages. In this section of the manual, we will examine each of these
features and discuss what they do and how they operate.
The PATCH EDIT Page contains the basic sound producing and modifying
functions of the MATRIX-GR. "Editing" a patch means making whatever
changes are necessary to produce the sound you want. In addition to the
basic components of a voice - the oscillators ( DCOs) , VCF
I
VCA section,
envelopes and LFOs - you will notice that there are many modulation
features in this Page as well. These are the most often-used modulation
routings and were included in the PATCH EDIT Page for practical reasons.
Because of the elaborate network of modulation designed into the MATRIX-
6R, a separate Page - MATRIX MODULATION™ - is used to program
modulation for special purposes.
The PATCH EDIT Page contains 1 O "Sub-Pages", each dealing with a
specific part of the final sound that you hear. In this section of the manual,
we will talk about each of these Sub-Pages and the functions within them,
and find out how they affect the overall sound.
The DCO - short for "Digitally Controlled Oscillator" - is the circuitry that
produces the basic tone or sound of the patch. Since the two DCOs are
almost identical, we'll cover them both together.
00 & 1 0 FREQUENCY
This function determines the pitch of the DCOs. VALU E range is 0
to +63 (five Octaves and a Minor-3rd) where each VALUE
increment represents one semi-tone.
01 & 1 1 FREQUENCY MOD BY LFO 1
The pitch of both DCOs can be modulated by the first LFO.
VALU E range is -63 to +63 where O as the VALUE represents no
effect and +63 is maximum modulation. -63 is maximum "negative"
modulation obtained by inverting the LFO's waveform 1 aoo out of
phase.
02 SYNC
(DC01 only)
1 2 DETUNE
(DC02 only)
These two functions operate the opposite of each other and are
described as follows:
