Oberheim Matrix 6R vs 1000

[Andrew Tarpinian]

Hah! Though I couldn’t do the keyboard, out of space. 

Reading the manual, quite an interesting setup, with the waveform settings, harmonic levels, and double mode with the 2nd EG. Plus the extra 2 EG stages are kinda neat. Almost reminds me of some ideas in the DX, which came out the same year.

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...
