54 SOFTWARE VERSION
The micro-processor inside your MATRIX-GR, as we have already
dicussed, is a computer that handles the calculations required to
perform the various functions of the synthesizer. The processor works
according to a pre-programmed set of operating instructions called
"software". Software can be altered at any time by Oberheim to reflect
improvements or additions to these operating instructions. Everytime
software is revised, a new index number is assigned to the revision.
This is known as the SOFTWARE VERSION.
The VERSION of your MATRIX-GR can be displayed at any time simply
by entering this Parameter. When entered, the Date of Release (Day,
Month and Year) of the MATRIX-GR's operating software will be
displayed. Press VALUE and the display will read
"REA D Y?
"
. Press
YES on the Keypad and the display will automatically scroll through a
series of messages relating to the nature and development of your
MATRIX-GR's software. Software Updates issued by Oberheim can be
retrofitted to any MATRIX-GR. Contact your nearest ECC I Oberheim
Authorized Service Center for prices and availability.
55 MASTER TUN E
After you have performed the TUN E function i n MASTER EDIT, the
MATRIX-GR can be manually tuned to another instrument in this
Parameter. VALUE range is from -G3 to +G3, which represents a
tuning scale of + I - a quarter tone.
56 STEREO
This parameter determines the status of the two AUDIO OUT jacks on
the back panel.
When STEREO is set to OFF, the LEFT I MONO jack outputs sound
for both single patches and SPLIT patches (the two playing modes of
the MATRIX-GR) and the RIGHT jack does not output any sound.
When STEREO is set to ON, the LEFT I MONO jack outputs all
sounds from single patches and the sound from the LOWER patch
when in SPLIT mode; the R IGHT jack only outputs sound when in
SPLIT mode, and this sound comes from the UPPER patch.
57 SQUICK
•
"Switch Quick"
This handy little parameter permits the reversing of the Keypad's
numeral and arrow button functions when the MATRIX-GR is in the
QUICK Mode of PATCH EDIT or SPLIT EDIT.
When SQUICK is OFF the Keypad functions normally - the numeral
buttons change the Value of the selected parameter and the < > and
<< >> buttons change the parameter Number.
When SQUICK is ON, the function of the arrows and the Keypad is
reversed. This means that the numeral buttons now select which
parameter to edtt (parameter Number) and the arrow keys change the
Value of the selected parameter. This switch will be remembered by
the MATRIX-GR until you change it and is not lost when the power is
turned ON or OFF.
