via Artesia on this Midibox thread"Heres a little project for you,
its been sat at the back of my mind for a while, that it should be entirely possible to make a oberhiem matrix xpander / m12 type synth from the venerable m1000 rack units, by realising the full potential of what should be possible with the humble little cem3396 chips they are based on.
It seems abit of a shame that the chips are capable of fast, realtime control changes; yet the m1000 processor is so slow ..it just cant cope & the filter cascade should also be hijackable in the manner seen in the matrix 12 / xpander synths (for massive filter choices)... however they also lacked some niceitys, like -proper- resonance control, continuiously variable stereo pan for voices (preset pan positions) ...and having much faster envelopes would bring the chips to life for percissive sounds.
this project intends to allow the user to get the best out of the humble chips, and allow them to realise their full potential - and with a little luck, the project should be a considerable improvement on the xpander synths too ;)"
