Matrix 1000 Oberheim controller

Postby Quai34 » 12 Dec 2015, 04:19

Hi guys,
Hardware or software ? I just discovered at the same time these two products that might enhance my interest for my Matrix 1000, being able to tweak the sounds....
What do you thinks, have you ever used one of these? Which one would you buy? (I know, price not in the same range....)
Software editor :

Hardware controller :

Thanks in advance for your opinion....

You need the firmware upgrade from that Swiss guy, and an iPad.

Seriously, get an iPad. There are so many great editors for iPad. I use it for my TX7, the matrix 6, the Matrix 1000, the JX-8P, MKS-70, and JX10 w/ Vecoven upgrade.

hi,
I have an IPad already....and undershot that the apps you are talking about is mpfrim midi designer right? I sound it in typing Vecoven upgrade....but it seems that you gave to build/design your own controller?
Cannot/don't want to do that , seems to complicate for me....

There are plenty of layouts available for free. I don't use MIDI Designer for the matrix, just for the others. Vecoven upgrade is a firmware/hardware upgrade only for the JX-10/MKS-70.

But I think for the Matrix 1000, the TB MIDI Stuff app and the free layout may be the better choice.
