Anyone know what the pressure sensitivity mod might be? The audio outs I'm guess are the individual outs for each voice on one of the side panels of the Matrix-12 although there aren't any shots in the set.
It turns out that some of the earlier Matrix 12s didn't have aftertouch as standard; I'd guess the "pressure sensitivity mod" was a retrofit.
ReplyDeletehmmm maybe its the same with the audio outs...
ReplyDeletei had one once and it had the individual outs on the back...
i thought it was standard then as you could get a kit to give it cv/gate in/outs...
never seen one without the outs on the back... looks kinda bare...
I have one of the earlier M12s. It does not have aftertouch. Aftertouch became a standard feature later on as I recall, and was available as an upgrade for earlier units.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the audio outs, I believe the M12s with the output jacks on the side was a factory option. If there were extra jacks on the back, it may be the Oddernmart mod, which was 12 audio inputs (or 6 for the Xpander).
