PATCH Mode____________________________________________________________________________________________16
8. PATCH Mode
Note: On each patch change – no matter if engaged from Programmer's PATCH Mode described here, on the Matrix
frontpanel itself, even on receiving Midi Program Change messages from the DAW – the Programmer syncs with the
Matrix automatically. Means: you do not need this mode at all, it just offers a convenient way to jump to patches from
the programmer itself.
This is the mode to select programs for your Matrix.
After selecting a patch you will see the pic to the right for the
Matrix 6. On the Matrix1000 it looks a bit different as it shows
bank and program numbers instead of patch names.
The menu entry „DMP?“ is covered below.
Using the keys PRV and NEXT you can scroll through the patches
of your Matrix.
To skip to distant patch numbers you can as well use the
encoders for tuning in the number of your choice. The display
shows something like shown to the right.
Matrix 6:
•
Encoder 2 changes the 10 digit
•
Encoder 3 increase/decreases in single steps
Matrix 1000:
•
Encoder 1 changes the bank number
•
Encoder 2 changes the 10 digit
•
Encoder 3 changes the 1 digit
Press 'YES' to load the patch.
Menu entry „DMP?“
Since firmware fersion 1.07 there is another menu entry to the
left labeled „DMP?“ After selection it you will be presented
somethig like the picture the right shows.
Pressing the key labeled „M1k“ sends the program content
currently stored in theo programmer to MIDI OUT in
Matrix1000-Format. Accordingly „M6“ sends the program in
Matrix6-Format. As the M6 does not offer an edit buffer you
must provide a target store position for the dump to be stored
– CAUTION, NO UNDO! The target can be set with the encoders
between 00 and 99.
This DUMP Function starts to make sense when using the
external Miditool called PolyChainer for stacking two Matrix 6
or 1000. After the dump both connected synthesizers hold the
same program to sound identical.
Or use 'XIT' to leave Patch Mode.
