Matrix Ctrlr EDIT Menu

The EDIT menu is the companion of the live panel and is used to edit less relevant parameters of a tone and its name. Usually you set a fixed value into the EDIT mode while you tweak parameters value on the live panel.

Pressing EDIT shows the different sections available :

  • KEY1 : DCO & LFO settings
  • KEY2 : FILTER & VCA settings
  • KEY3 : ENV1, ENV2, ENV3 settings
  • KEY4 : KEYBOARD & PORTAMENTO settings
  • KEY5 : MODULATION MATRIX settings

Use PAGE to cycle the different pages of a section and EDIT to return. Press a KEY to enter a section.

DCO & LFO section :

Page 1 : DCO 1/2 affected by pitch Bend, Vibrato or portamento

  • KEY1 select DCO1 or DCO2,
  • KEY2KEY4 activate

Page 2 : LFO 1/2 affected by vibrato, bend, portamento

  • KEY1 select LFO1 or LFO2,
  • KEY2KEY4 activate

Page3 : LFO 1/2 modulation

  • KEY1 select LFO1 or LFO2,
  • KEY2 LFO AMPLITUDE modulation by RAMP1,
  • KEY4 LFO SPEED modulation by Channel Aftertouch (PRESSURE)

Page 4 : LFO parameters

  • KEY1 : set LFO1 or LFO2
  • KEY2 : LFO mode single, multiple, external or nothing
  • KEY3 : source
  • KEY4 : Lag
  • KEY5 : retrigger

use the encoder to edit the value

FILTER & VCA section :

Page 1 : filter modulated by pitch Bend, Vibrato, portamento or keyboard velocity

Page 2 : VCA parameters

  • KEY2 : AMOUNT (VCA Level)
  • KEY3 : VCA modulated by velocity
  • KEY4 : VCA modulated by ENV2

use the encoder to set the value

ENVELOPS section

Page 1 :  ENV3 main parameters

  • KEY2 : ENV3 Attack
  • KEY3 : ENV3 Decay
  • KEY4 : : ENV3 Sustain
  • KEY5 : ENV3 Release

use the encoder to set the values

Page 2 : other ENV parameters

  • KEY1 : select ENV1, 2 or 3
  • KEY2 : selected ENV Dealy
  • KEY3 : selected ENV Amplitude
  • KEY4 : selected ENV Release mode (nothing, free run, DADR, both)

use encoder to set value

Page 3 : other ENV parameters

  • KEY1 : select ENV
  • KEY3 : ENV triggermode
  • KEY5 : LFO

use encoder to set value

KEYBOARD & PORTAMENTO Modes

Page 1 : portamento

  • KEY1 : portamento mode
  • KEY4 : Velocity
  • KEY5 : portamento rate

Page 2 : keyboard behavior

  • KEY1 : keyboard note mode assignation
  • KEY4 : unison

press KEY to set value

MODULATION MATRIX :

Page 1 : the Matrix !!

simply select the parameter using KEYS and edit the value within the encoder

  • KEY1 : slot (there are 10 available)
  • KEY2 : the SOURCE
  • KEY3 : the DESTINATION
  • KEY5 : the AMOUNT

Page 2 :  RAMPS parameters

  • KEY1 : select RAMP to edit
  • KEY2 : set RAMP speed
  • KEY3 : ramp trigger mode
  • KEY5 : ramp input trigger

use encoder to set value

Page 3 : 5 segments tracking ramps parameters

use the KEYS to select the segment, then edit with the encoder

EDITING NAME of a tone

A tone can have a 8 characters name. Use the encoder to set the characters. You can press the encoder to edit the following character or the arrows on the display.

NOTA : Notice the name isn’t saved into memory : you have to return to PATCH main page and press SAV.

SAVING A TONE INTO OBERHEIM MATRIX MEMORY (200 slots)

useless since the Matrix Ctrlr can contain 1000 tones in its memory

PARAMETERS RANDOMIZER

Press key under to set a randomized value (experimental feature).

There are two pages of parameters to randomize.

Voices allocator : midi router for 4 devices

Dear Folks,

During the last summer we have hired a new specialist at the lab : ChatGPT ! And it has helped us to develop a midi router : 1 input / 4 outputs for dispatching up to 24 notes on 4 similar devices.

The existing owners of the Matrix Ctrlr and several Oberheim Matrix 1000 will instantly understand the benefits of this router !

For the moment it is an independant firmware that works with the circuitry of the Matrix Ctrlr. The goal is to include this app in the firmware of the Matrix Ctrlr. You navigate the app using the encoder and clic to enter or return from the menu

The 4 devices can be combined to work as 6 stereo voices, 12 voices or even 24 mono voices for example. Those behaviour are named routingMode and the encoder set the value

There is one main midi channel that can be set by the encoder and you have several pages of menus, one being the Voices allocation monitor

We even pushed the thing by implementing an arpegiator but the display interface isn’t ready yet ..

You can download the midi Router below and test it in your Matrix Ctrlr. You’ll use the USB update method

Midi_Router_Sustain_FltrChannel_mode7CC1jaugesPC_OK.ino.with_bootloader.mega.hex

It does pass Control Change, Program Change, Pitch Bend, Sustain pedal, Poly & Aftertouch. You can test it and give us feedbacks
