Curios what that solar panel looking strip is on the left under the controls. Note this one is being offered for parts due to battery damage. Some pics of the inside below.

"The Main CPU board had battery damage and this is very common for these there were only around 2000 ever made and I see around 4 on ebay world wide per year.

The voice boards are undamaged as far as i am aware and all filter chips and DCOs are on the board. the only work on this that has been done is the CPU board. It has been stripped back to reveal the PCB underneath that does not have too much damage. Please see the pictures below."

Update: I heard back from the seller. The strip is a paper preset sticker.

Oberheim Matrix 6 Editing

Published on Jan 6, 2013 AudioCentralMagazine·107 videos

"A frightening programming session on the nightmarish data entry of Oberheim Matrix 6. It seems an eternity, but in the Eighties this was the most common way to program the less expensive synthesizers: one parameter at time, first select then entering desired values!!!
God bless potentiometers and encoders (and Editor programs...)."

In my opinion it's not that bad actually. Everything is laid out in order, the first 10 parameters is DCO1, the next 10, DCO2, the next 10, VCF/VCA, and so on. There are no submenus. Everything is only one layer deep. You can see a pic of the parameters on the 6R in this current MATRIXSYNTH-B post. See the Patch Edit section in the bottom. You can also flip through parameters vs. having to enter the number for each. Sadly their is no slider for editing values like some other menu driven synths, so you have to button up, down or enter the value you want. Nothing beats knobs. On OS version 2.13 of the Matrix-6 you can map external MIDI controllers to each parameter. Access made a Matrix Programmer and you should be able to use other controllers that support MIDI Sysex including some for the iPad.

Synthy jazz multitracking

Published on Jan 5, 2013 mik300z·55 videos

"Happy new year folks, this is a liitle song I started in the kitchen dropping some chords, melodies and jazz percussion into the ESQ sequencer then playing along with various parts (clumsily), trying to come up with a song. Levels are off the wall, especially the elec piano at high notes apologies! I really liked the chord sequence, kind of happy/summery sounding . The drums are from the juno G, also the E.piano , i'm playing the juno 6 lead and the rest is from the esq itself. I tried using the Roland vp330 vst but its so heavy on the CPU I had to record directly to cassette as ableton just couldn't handle such a powerful sound;)....erm no the vst is just not perfect but I dont mind, having the sound of the vp330 is good enough for me! Funny, i enjoyed recording to tape for a change..oh the memories:):)"
