Oberheim Matrix 6R vs 1000

[Andrew Tarpinian]

Hey Jay, thanks for the info. 

There is this iPad app that lets you edit the 1k and the 6R. Apparently the problem with these guys with controllers is the processor can get overloaded when sending large amounts of fast parameter data, so people say real-time can be a little laggy. Though I think hooking up a pedal can work. 

Do you think the 6R is better at live manipulation of parameters?

I saw a couple controllers around but they are almost the price of the synth. So will prob stuck with the iPad one. Cool that access used to make em though.

As a patch-player it works great and of course has a lot of potential, but if you get a controller (I had the Access Matrix programmer, way back when..) you will find 10x the depth for the instrument.  So many parameters are buried deep.  Also, you might wanna live-modulate the params, and in that capacity the 6R is pretty darned cool.  So if you can get a 6R and fit it, go that route - otherwise, do try to get a hardware control surface set up for it...
