Oberheim Matrix 12 - My sounds...So far. video by Tim Mantle / Psalm37patches

"I've had just over two weeks with this thing, here's a few of the unpolished sounds I've come up with so far."

Oberheim Matrix 12 - Lyle Mays / Pat Metheny "It's for you"


"My attempt at 'THE' sound, using the Oberheim Matrix 12."

Moog, Nord and Oberheim Noodle

"Recorded live, no edits!

A quick one this week! It's been a while since I did a music only clip so here one is! :D"

VAI 13. Siel Cruise

"Siel Cruise mono synth and divide down string machine in action again. The tremolo pedal chops up the poly section and the Roland Space Echo adds the swing."

"The K5m rack-module version is basically the same as the K5 except that it has 126 adjustable harmonics and 4 assignable audio outputs and a stereo mix output. If you plan to use the K5 strictly as a sound source in an established MIDI studio, the K5M desktop module version is more compact and practical than the keyboard version."

Posting for the pic of the inside below. Pretty amazing how small the engine board is. This one is scuffed with the following seller's notes: "Anyway, it's in used condition - when I got it the keybed wobbled and the data entry knob needed DeOxit. So, I took it apart and reinforced/replaced the keybed supports with new screws - it now plays as good as new, aftertouch is perfect too. In the interests of full disclosure for the sale, I've added a couple of photos of the inside of the synth showing where I've reinforced and renewed the key struts. They should last a long while now.

Likewise, the single endless pot on this - the data dial - suffers from potentiometer jump (like the Dave Smith synths) and needs a regular DeOxit but it perks up nicely. Being so knobby, the data dial isn't as essential as it otherwise might be, it's not required for patch switching or general programming. I can link a buyer to the DeOxit I use on Amazon which cost me £7 (being flammable, it obviously can't be posted). If you own hardware synths, it's a good thing to have around anyway.

All the other rotary knobs and sliders work perfectly - one of the envelope sliders (sustain) feels a little scratchy but the data input slides perfectly, it's not a problem. The paint has peeled around one of the buttons (the track 1 button) as the photos show; but the buttons work fine. There are no missing pots.

The moulded ends often get cracked and go missing, as they're the only plastic bits - but these are intact and strong. A few scratches and dents but nothing huge."
