M1000X Oberheim Matrix-6/6R and Matrix-1000 Software Editor Now Available for Mac OSX

Dave Cornutt's M1000X editor for the Oberheim Matrix-6/6R and Matrix-1000 has been ported to OSX. You'll find the full details and download on Sequence 15. The post gives a good overview of the synths as well. Note the original Matrix-6 does require OS 2.13 to work with external editors.

"I've finally found the time to get Xcode going on my Mac Mini and rebuild M1000X, the program I published some years ago for doing patch editing on the Oberheim Matrix-6/6R and Matrix-1000. It now runs on Intel Macs under OSX 10.8 (it should also work under 10.9, but I have not tried it)...

Oberheim produced many of these synths, and because of the limited user interface they are regarded as less desirable than many other analog synths, so they can be had at reasonable prices. If you're looking to get into vintage analog inexpensively, this is a good way to do it -- get one of these synths, and then use M1000X to overcome the UI limitations."

Pics of the inside below.



"Simmons SDS7 with eight cards (!)

- Each of the eight cards has a CEM3372. a CEM3340, and an original ROM

- Cards include: Bass, Tom, Tom, Tom, Snare, Hi Hat, Cymbal, Cymbal.

Sold as-is. The unit powers up and the brain looks to be clean but I can't get the machine to do much more. I am completely ignorant of the OS, which is a bit archaic, so that's not helping. Also, the unit is missing a few of the plastic hats/indicators that sit on the very top of the knob. The original plastic knobs are still there and the pots seem to work fine."
