Love this. Thanks to God,I was able to afford a refurbished Matrix 1000. If it ain't Sequential Circuits. It must be Oberheim. Nothing better than those smooth warm vocal sounds
Thank you Hemibass! ;-) Not all of them are mine, some are borrowed, but almost all my gear is from 80's / early 90's. It's what I need for the music I love. Cheers!
I'm thinking to get the rack version too. The Xpander and OB8 I saw them on sale only twice here in Japan. Not easy to find . I would love to play with them! Cheers! :)
One of the first synths I ever put my hands on at the music store. I was 17-18. I'd buy whatever drum equipment I could afford that week and then check out the synths. I fell in love with the 'Monster' patch on the Matrix. It began a long fascination with synthesizers I still have. Great job playing!
Thank you PM! Something similar happened to me. I learned piano at age of 8 years old, switched to Drums, and came back again to keyboards years later! Cheers! ;-)
Great sounding synth if you clean the pins of the Curtis chips and reseat them. I only recommend this for people with some familiarity around circuit boards. Great for pads and polysynth patches. Tons of modulation capability although it is tedious as hell to program without an editor. The great thing is, that these really are not that expensive compared to other vintage gear.
You play beautifully. A compliment to this lovely synths. My 6R has a patch called "STARBRASS" but I didn't see it on your list. Obviously it was there when I got it and might have been a custom patch from the user before I bought it. What a great synth. Terribly under-rated.
Recently sold mine (that I had bought new in the 80's) and kinda regret it. I wanted a synth with knobs because programming the Matrix-6 IS a pain, so I bought a Dave Smith Rev 2. Don't get me wrong - great synth with incredible capabilities, lush and brazen, but there's something about the sound of the Matrix-6 I miss. In particular, the string patches just can't be beat. While it only has 6 voices vs. the Rev 2's 8, it still to me has more of an analog feel. Miss it.
Man, I freaking love this! I'm really happy I came across your channel cause I also dig the 80s sound and want to hear more, good luck with what you're doing!
Got a Matrix 6R and Matrix 1000 in the rack. Been there for years. Nothing they can do I can't replicate on the modular or Mutable... Holy crap! Mutable has shut down. That's sad news...
Any polysynth can sound good with chorus and reverb added to mask its limitations. I own a Matrix 6 and it doesn't stack up to my OB6 Desktop Module as far as getting the Oberheim sound. So I use the Matrix 6 as a MIDI controller to play the OB6. 😁
hello eaglechild! is it possible to share the sysex of this set of presets? it could be great, best regards. And keep up the good works on this amazing channel
I have heard that this is not the best synth for bass sounds. I've seen one listed locally and am thinking about it. Do you think the comment about bass sounds is fair? And are these preset or custom voices?
Mmm..well..it depends of the style of music you want to do. If it’s more electronic style (EDM, DnB etc..) I would go for another alternatives (Waldorf Blofeld, Novation A Station, Yamaha AN200, AN1X…etc. If you want to play more 80’s (synthwave…etc) I recommend you check the Roland JX-10 or JX8P. Really good basses on there. Hope it helps!
My "Monster" patch doesn't sound this good, I think the previous owner fucked with it--does any know where I could download that patch online? Thanks in advance!
Hey Westbethkid. That could be because I used external effects probably. Anyway...if you want the sysex of the patches, I still have them. Email me and I send them to you. Chriskeyboards1984 @gm.. Cheers!

Cheers! Lovely synth, sounds and tasteful playing. Would love one of these.👍👍👍 ... Timestamp 0:00 never seems to work. Try 0:01 instead for the intro.
Cheers! Lovely synth, sounds and tasteful playing. I would love one of these.👍👍👍 ... The new generation OB6 is great fun though.
Oberheim made the best sounding polysynths of the 80s.
Agree! 👍✨
…maybe of all time. 😳
Well done. Best prove that not the synth, but the playing makes the difference...
Thanks a lot for the kind words man! 🙏✨🎶
Could listen to those 80s voices all day.
Cheers
Thank you very much J.J Hayden! ;-) Cheers!
Love this. Thanks to God,I was able to afford a refurbished Matrix 1000.
If it ain't Sequential Circuits. It must be Oberheim.
Nothing better than those smooth warm vocal sounds
Thank you Eric. I always felt very attracted for those Vocal sounds too. Very unique ;-)
The quad Oberheim Matrix-6 got seen in season 6 of Kids Incorporated.
Great synth. You have such a cool collection of 80's instruments!
Thank you Hemibass! ;-) Not all of them are mine, some are borrowed, but almost all my gear is from 80's / early 90's. It's what I need for the music I love. Cheers!
Love those pitch bend/mod levers on the left.
Yes, I like them too. All the Matrix 6 design itself it looks pretty awesome ;-)
Awesome demo of an amazing synth. Good job! I have a Matrix-6 and a Matrix-1000.
Thank you Joel! 🙏✨
this sounds AMAZING! imagine it through some mad fx units
Thanks man! I appreciate it! ;-)
regret selling my Matrix 6 rack and even though I have both Xpander and OB8 I still miss it, totally different synth and sound
I'm thinking to get the rack version too. The Xpander and OB8 I saw them on sale only twice here in Japan. Not easy to find . I would love to play with them! Cheers! :)
@@eaglechildkeys the rack beefing this up would be one warm unique epic wall of sound bro!

Beautiful synth!!! Got one too!!! And always in use!!
Thank you Oldtimer! It's really an excellent synth. Surprisingly you can get cheaper than the Juno 106 in Japan!
Wao!!! Eaglechild excellent. The sounds are amazing. Also the performance. Good job!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words GW2010! ;-))
Awesome sounds... Your demo made my day, thank you!!!
Thank you very much Pilotmike! ;-) I appreciate it man!
I get so lost in the passage by Jocko and all the Piano, EP & Keys sounds🤩Great job, Chris, so many inspirational moments❤💯
Thank you Emily. Love the EPs on this synth too.✨🎶
Great sounding synth if you clean the pins of the Curtis chips and reseat them. I only recommend this for people with some familiarity around circuit boards.
Great for pads and polysynth patches. Tons of modulation capability although it is tedious as hell to program without an editor.
The great thing is, that these really are not that expensive compared to other vintage gear.
Thank you Don! That’s true. I prefeer the Matrix than the Juno.
Here in Japan you can get it for a little bit more than half of the price of the 106!

Thank you for the kind words David! 😃 I don’t have that patch. Probably is a custom one in your Matrix. Cheers! 🎵

Hi Wepin,
I know what you mean.
I sold mine too and I bought an OB6. Of course I’m very happy with it , but also I miss my Matrix :/
Stunning
Thank you John! 🎶
Man, I freaking love this! I'm really happy I came across your channel cause I also dig the 80s sound and want to hear more, good luck with what you're doing!
Thank you very much man for the kind words..I really appreciate it! ;-)
@@eaglechildkeys :D
Piano sounds are top notch. I'm amazed from an analog
Thank you Bradleylinemihler. Yes, are really nice. 🎹🎶
Awesome sounds!

Thanks for this 🙏
Thank you Noel! I appreciate it man..🙏✨🎹

Thank you Embodi Breaks! I like it too ;-)
Some great sounds here! Would love some of these for my Matrix 6.

Amazing sound dude! Pianos, EP and Keys are soo fucking nice!

Wow sonido analogico total !
Gracias compañero! Un saludazo! ;-)
Magical!
Thank you D I!🙏✨🎹

4:40 When Birdland sounds like Billie Jean … ;)
Yes! Birdly Jean! ;-)
I sure do miss it. I was kind of hoping you'd show fireball.
These sound amazing!
Thanks man! 😃✨👍
nice playing
Thank you Matt! ;-)
Beautiful... excellent demo!
Thanks man! 🙏✨
@@eaglechildkeys Absolutely, our style preferences in music and synth sounds are identical!
@@synthartist69 I think so too! 🤘🏻✨🎵
Got a Matrix 6R and Matrix 1000 in the rack. Been there for years. Nothing they can do I can't replicate on the modular or Mutable... Holy crap! Mutable has shut down. That's sad news...
I sold my Matrix 6 but looking for the rack version too ;-)
Hello! Awesome playing, and those are wonderful patches! Any way to get them? :) Thanks!
Amazing 🙌🏻
Thanks Matt! 😃✨🎶
Nice playing, amazing synth! I have the rack(M6R) version and a Matrix 1000 in poly chain for 12 voice. Sounds huge!
Thank you M80! That’s awesome. I’m trying to get the Rack version of the Matrix 6 too✨🎹
@@eaglechildkeys Yw! Now I'm trying to get one the Matrix 6! Keys feels good? Aftertouch is amazing!
@@M80- The keys feels good. Not the best synth keys I’ve tried but they are nice ;-)
@@eaglechildkeys Thanks! Ahh, one question : Do you have factory patches for download? Because I need them for back up.
@@M80- Sure, no problem. Can you email me please? Chriskeyboards1984@ gmail.com
"I get so weak in the knees...."
SWV ❤️ Yes! 😃✨
@@eaglechildkeys My man, is there any way I could get the SysEx files for these presets?
emailed you ;)
@@SunShingles Sure ;) Can you write me to the email in the description of the video please?
And the keypad is on the left like it's supposed to!
Cheers! ;-)
Are these the factory default sounds? They’re so stylish and great
Thank you Jean-Luc. Not sure if are the original factory sounds. The previous owner had these in the synth. Cheers! ;-)
13:49 - quite a bit like intro to "Lea" by Toto... Steve Porcaro did use an Oberheim synth at that time, didn't he?...
Not sure if he used or not, but now that you mention it, it does have a strong resemblance to the intro of "Lea" by Toto. Good ear!
@@eaglechildkeys Thanks!😃👋
8:56 SWV in the House
Sharp ears mate! Thanks! 🎹✨
Dude I love the Brassy sounds of Oberheim, are these are factory presets?
Not sure Fj Francois. When I bought the unit it came already with those sounds ;-)
Man I just bought one Matrix 6r from Syntaur last week, and is coming on this Tuesday, I’m happy.
Any chance you would be willing to share these sounds? Great stuff! I would gladly throw you a couple bucks for your time!
Hello Jim. Can you email me?
Chriskeyboards1984@ gmail.com
Cheers!
Same here
Are you selling these presets? They sound amazing!
Thanks! Can you email me please? Chriskeyboards1984@ gmail . com
Deberías realizar una complicación de melodías completas, son increíbles.
Muchas gracias! ;-)
Compilación. COMPILACIÓN.
Any polysynth can sound good with chorus and reverb added to mask its limitations. I own a Matrix 6 and it doesn't stack up to my OB6 Desktop Module as far as getting the Oberheim sound. So I use the Matrix 6 as a MIDI controller to play the OB6. 😁

Hi Samuel. These already came with the Oberheim when I bought it. Not sure if they are factory or not… :/
Are these patches available for sale?

Hey Paul! Sure ;-) Can you email me please?
Great, I'm still a fan of Oberheim: it sounds terrible! Are these sounds that you have programmed?
Hi Gerome,
They came with the unit when I bought it! Cheers!
Does anyone know how close the obxa and matrix series are?
please cover the song Angkara - Power Metal (from the album Power One).
Hi Andri! I don't know the band but I will check ! Cheers! ;)

Thanks! ;-) Sure, no problem. Can you email me please? Chriskeyboards1984 @gm….
@eaglechildkeys Are these the factory presets?
FUCK YEAH OBERHEIM MATRIX 6 BITCHES!
🎶🤘 😀
Hey! Are these stock presets? I have an m6 and i've been wondering whether I have the stock patches or not?
Not sure Silas. When I bought it (used) it came already with these sounds. 🎵
are this your custom presets ?!
great playing eaglechild! these are still a bit of a cheap weapon eh...

Both is a nice combination 🤘🏻✨🎸🎹
I just noticed you have your volume at around 25% 😄
