"The Oberheim Matrix-12 is the synth you've asked us for more than any other, and it's here. Oberheim's most ambitious analogue synthesiser, reborn with modern power.
The Matrix-12 gave Vangelis, Depeche Mode, The Orb and Technotronic some of the thickest pads, sweeps and basses ever recorded. Twelve voices, a fifteen-mode filter and Matrix Modulation, with the routing map printed on the panel because no screen could show it.
This is the only official Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander software instrument, created with Oberheim and Marcus Ryle, the original designer. We modelled the oscillators, filter and envelope shapes against the hardware, then made the matrix visible. Drag from any source to any knob and watch the Flow diagram and Mod Matrix show exactly how each voice is built.
Six keyboard zones with micro arpeggiators, full MPE, four Macros, onboard delay and reverb, and over 570 patches, including 190+ originals from the Matrix-12 and Xpander. The deepest synth Oberheim ever made is now the easiest to understand.
Presented by Alex Ball.
Analogue Soul. Digital Power."
I Own a Matrix-12. GForce Got Closer Than I Wanted.
video upload by Vulture Culture
"I own an Oberheim Matrix-12. GForce and Oberheim have made the first official plugin version of it, so I put the two side by side and tried to break both.
What I found:
VCO drift is identical, which is the thing people actually want from an analog emulation.
Filter FM is where plugins usually fail, Arturia in particular, and it is the most impressive thing here.
All fifteen filter modes are very close, though you generally have to push the resonance further on the software to match.
There are real differences in the noise, in oscillator brightness and in the envelope and LFO times. Some of those might be my 41 year old unit rather than their model.
It does not sound exactly like my hardware. It might sound exactly like the hardware they modelled it on.
DISCLOSURE: GForce paid me to design some of the factory presets for this plugin. They did not ask or pay me to make this video, and they have no control over what I say in it."
The most ambitious analogue synthesiser Oberheim® ever made, Matrix-12, reborn with modern power.
Twelve voices, a fifteen-mode filter and Matrix Modulation, with the routing map printed on the panel because no screen could show it. Rare, heavy and costly to keep alive ever since.
This is the only official Oberheim® Matrix-12 and Xpander software instrument, reimagined.
