  3. I don't have the Matrix but are they "rubbery & silent" like the LP or are they "hard and clicky"?

  6. I really love mine. Mine also has the 12 out modification. Oh, and the buttons are hard and clicky.

  8. The encoders and displays often go bad and replacements are hard to come by. The software envelopes suck too.

  9. Dr Sound, NYC,..back in the days... I remember one time the shop's owner pulling out an expander..brand new out of the box...1994..95ish... amazing piece..the Matrix 12 is a much better lust loving toy in a living room than a useless piano...but that's just me
