LFO1 : destinations can be freely assigned into the matrix modulation LFO there are basically 2 modulators (shapes: sawtooth up / down, triangle, square, random, S&H and noise) with variable depth, 3 retrig modes and lag mode. Finally 2 dynamic VCA controllers (linear or exponential) also generated by the Curtis IC.
In addition 2 RAMP GENERATORS: a kind of EG-triggers with only attack portion which can be defined using the RATE parameter. The 3 EGs are triggered in 4 modes: retrigger, free flown, reset. EG3 is be assigned into the matrix control EG2 is routed to amplitude by default but can be re-assigned by matrix control EG1 is assigned into the matrix control It follows the FM basic principle like Yamaha DX-7 but in this case the DCO1 is the modulator and the VCF is the carrier.ĮNVELOPE 3 EGs (4 segments + 1 delay time + 1 main level) The VCF can auto-oscillate and consequently modulate the DCO1 by Frequency Modulation process. 3 keyboard response curves : linear + 2 exponentialįILTER the system take advantage of the Curtis 3396 from the DCO which includes a 4 poles resonant filter. unison stack mode (6 voices, no detune) voice split / dual modes: 2+4 / 4+2 / 6+0 / 0+6 ("0" to splillover data by Midi) keyboard split in 2 zones "LOWER" and "UPPER" bender lever can be assigned to pitch DCO1 / DCO2 / both Middle values are combo mixes of saw/triangle (waveshaping) * range value is from 0 to 63: 0 is the sawtooth, 63 the triangle. VOICE main core based on a 8-bits Motorola 6809 CPU manages 6 channels polyphony.Įach voice is composed by 2 (quite) identical DCO oscillators based on 6 X CEM 3396 IC (big body version).
Pedalswitch input for sustain or analog trigger 1-10V range input (for LFO retrig or EG) Main out (it is stereo: 2 sounds can be split)Įxpression pedal input (cutoff / volume or assignable to the matrix) The main panel features a 16-characters VDF fluorescent display (adjustable brightness), 20 membrane buttons, 1 volume slider and 2 levers for pitch bend and modulation control. KEYBOARD 61 keys with velocity and aftertouch (the "pressure").
The Matrix series gets the name the Digital Matrix Control a digital way to internally route signals and modulation to different synt section, simplified from previous huge modular patchbays. Affordable analog polysynth derived from classic Matrix 12 / Xpander intelligent technology.
