Ah ... the sound Oberheim What a treat!

The Matrix 1000 is a U.S. firm synthexpander the Oberheim synth known for its very high end (one of the only real competitor to waldorf) who wishes to embark on the market for small studio launched the series to the second matrix half of the 80 ann. The most famous matrix: the matrix 6.

The matrix1000 presents itself as a 1U rack (black or white depending on the version), connection midi in / out / thru, TRS release 6.5, a screen and some buttons on the front ... but most of the bike and inside.

UTILIZATION

Typically a synth School with a multitude of oscillators editable via a Mac or PC software (Logic and SoundDiver UnySyn MOTU) or with a control surface (access, Kenton, etc.).. square waveform, saw thooth, synusoid, etc.. the almost infinite possible when we learn a bit of a handle a lot of software to use

possibility to save 999 presets directly accessible via the paved numrique facade.

SOUNDS

What a sound!
and the OOUI is the hallmark of Oberheim, a sound of clarity and a reminder that those in power at exorbitant prices synth .... It sounds good recess sometimes a bit 80's but hey it was almost 20 years while the poor matrix is ​​normal but by digging well and working a bit on the synthesis we get a sound out amazing.
and mono output so if you want stereo sound you need two matrix1000 (but then saw his side by the Okaz it cost less and less in a recent waldorf)
To give you an idea of ​​the type of sound you can get away with a matrix and a little practice a few Listen Future Sound of London or Cabaret Voltaire (yes, matrix inside!)

OVERALL OPINION

The dimension of the occasion and quite variable on this machine (depending on demand), but it tends to rise above his time, as many understand the true power of the matrix!
I think the report is such a synthesis is quite personal one likes or not hook at all ... I love .... :-)
