Description
The Matrix 1000 is a 1U rackmount version of the Matrix 6R synth – itself a 3U rackmount version of the M6 keyboard. Unlike the M8R, the Matrix 1000 has 1000 presets – but has the same synthesis engine
There’s plenty of software support for the matrix 1000 with sound editors & yet more presets available. It will load, edit & save Matrix 6 patches
Sonically, it’s classic Oberheim with a warm, bright sound that cuts through mixes really well. I used to own a Matrix 6R – it was one of my absolute favourites and the Matrix 1000 brings it all back!
“For big chords, mean pads and 80’s style pop its fantastic. Everyone complains how its not an OBX or whatever, but there really is strong Obie DNA in this machine and punchy analog brass is the best this side of unaffordable monsters. Plus – it’s touch sensitive, and has aftertouch on an analog poly!! – nothing like having cut off tied to velocity, with vibrato on after touch say”
“No matter what style of electronic music you indulge in, whether New Age or Techno Rave, analogue synthesizers still have a lot still to offer, and they work surprisingly well alongside more contemporary digital sounds. It doesn’t really matter that the string patch doesn’t sound quite like strings, or the flute patch exactly like a flute — what really draws you in is the almost organic sense of warmth, movement and evolution that permeates just about every patch you set up” – Sound on Sound
“The Matrix 1000 brings the fat, warm sound of analogue synthesis within reach of mere mortals”
In excellent condition with minimal marks. Tested & working 100%. Photos show the synth for sale
