Now the 4 pots on the left of the SSC set the levels for each instrument, the 4 pots in the top
row alter cutoff, the middle row tweaks resonance and the bottom row individually detunes
the oscillator. For each instrument individually! What you will hear is just - DELICOUS.
You think
'That whole multi mode thing sounds complicated'
?
Well, please have a seat and read on.
There is even more!
The Waldorf Microwave does not take the Midichannel into account for SysEx editing,
it uses 'Instrument numbers'. Now the SSC's 4 pots to the left, responsible for the level
in SSC's multi mode have an additional important feature: they change the SSC's
internal target instrument number, to which the edit-messages in the normal edit-
mode (=not the Multi Edit Mode) should be sent to. This allows you to switch between
SSC's multi mode (upper and lower button lit) and normal mode (only one button lit)
and use the SSC's normal parameters on any of the microwave's first 4 instruments.
Thanks to the 8 edit buffers of the Microwave, your changes will be held.
SSC edition '1006R' for Matrix 1000 / 6 / 6r
This edition was designed to get most out of the Matrix1000's presets. And it works
well together with the 'Init patch' you can send from the SSC into the Matrix.
In addition the 1006R-edition is highly specific optimized to allow a somewhat intuitive
and fluent programming of the Matrix-1000/6 family. They are commonly known to
behave mulish when being edited over midi. Unfortunately this is due to the
software-/hardware architecture of the synth itself and can currently not be improved.
(We say 'currently' because there are rumours about some nerds trying to develop a
complete replacement for the outdated main brain of the matrix-family...)
The Matrix 6 wants slightly other SysEx-messages than the Matrix 1000. You have to
teach the SSC which synth it should serve with messages. How to swap between them
is described in '3. Operation -> Learn Midichannel Mode'.
Due to a firmware bug of the Matrix 1000 Sustain of Env1 can not be set by SysEx
command. Therefore we intentionally left this parameter out to have space for
another additional parameter which works. Matrix 6 owners might forgive us.
(Massive complaints of Matrix-6 users about this missing parameter might lead to an
update of the parameter layout and a suitable faceplate.)
