Fantastic choice, such amazing sounding instrument. I have a Tom Oberheim sem pro but actually prefer the sound of the matrix. Stereoping controller totally opens the m1000 up in terms of programming. These synths sound way better than most modern stuff although would really love to hear a new ob6 compared with matrix 6 / 1000
Bought a Matrix 1000 installed the tauntek firmware and will order the Stereoping controller which is a brilliant piece of kit. Wicked sounds ! Midi mono.
Hey Andy, really like what you're able to make with the Matrix 6! I have a Matrix 1000 myself and I've been wanting to try out the Matrix 6 factory banks to see what I can make from the patches there. However, the only way I've found to load those is through some old mp3 recordings of casette backups, which can only be loaded onto a Matrix 6 or 6r, so if possible would you be able to help out with this? If you could load the banks from the mp3 files and them convert them into syx files that'd be very helpful!
Hi Fabio, yes Matrix 6 is amazing synth.I have owned since early 90s. I have firmware 2.15 so can use with stereoping controller. I programmed most of my patches without the stereoping though. I can email you wav file of my patches if you like so you can see how I programmed the unison patches. I think these patches will work with any firmware.
Hey Andy ! Great video ! I am fighting with my stereoping controller, it does not work. matrix is in firmware 2,13. Where does your 2,15 comes from ? tauntek ? glibly ? and one more thing; I love the sounds in your matrix ! would please send them to me ?
Hi mate, yes you have to upgrade firmware. I got mine on ebay, I think tauntek, will have a check, cost around £15. controller works perfect after upgrade. Do you have m6r or m1000? I will try and send sounds over next week.
@@sylvainblanco Hi Sylvain, I checked my firmware and its called " Dernier 2.15" bought on ebay, cheap. works fine. Will try and send mp3 with sounds file over in next few days
Hey Andy, I’ve just bought one and am having a bit of trouble getting audio from the unit with my Arturia Keystep Pro. I’ve tried changing the midi channels on the keystep as it’s default is 10 but still nothing. Any suggestions?
Hi Angus, have you got it working yet? I use key step with mine, works fine. Make sure matrix is not in split mode, make sure midi channel matches key step channel and use left/ mono audio output. Really powerful synth. I’m hopefully going to make some more handy tips vids soon.
Thanks for that, it actually turned out that the main serial cable had come loose inside the unit so I had to open it up and discovered this, plugged it back in which fixed this issue :)
I just returned to your channel to write to you, I think you should try the DSI Tetra. Compared to my M1000 they sound quite similar, I mean not exactly but it's the closest thing I have heard. They have much of the same structure and I think perhaps also the CEM's are closely related, just a though for you in case you feel adventurous. The Tetra have a couple of nice sub oscillators as well, it's something about the tone and the way the oscillators work together
after 10 years I never knew you could make it play mono like this. Thank you!!!
Thanks for this demo
Just purchased a matrix 1000 and will buy the Stereoping controller as well. Wicked combo!

nice one!
wow man this sounds great!!
Hello Andy! This is a great video!
I just picked up the M6r would be interested in your patches to learn from if you have them available? Cheers!
i love using my matrix 1000 as a mono synth...bassy as heck
Yeah, underrated synth. Once you know a few programming tricks those fat sounds come flying out! Unique sounding beast.
Killer mono sound Andy, nice one.
Hi Andy! Thanks for the video! I have M6R. Lots of new info here!! Can you share these patches in SYSEX?
I came to a point where I used only oscillator one in unison mode. That got rid of the bad chorus/flanger sort of sound.
1:45 👍🏻

Oh my god! This is great! I love my matrix but always hated the unison mode. What is your firmware?

@@andynichol4666 wow, that would be awesome! throughblueglue@gmail.com thanks!
Are you using any sort of LFO tricks to make the unison not sound all phased out? And how do you turn on mono mode???
Great video, a bit of detune in unison is a great way to make it sound good.
Like your playing style :)
