Oberheim Matrix-12 sys ex & patch data

Post by spacialacuity » Wed Sep 10, 2014 12:28 pm

I'm looking for a copy of the Oberheim Matrix 12 programming data. This information was supplied originally on a audio cassette tape with FSK modulation scheme. This information is used to reboot the Matrix 12 to it's originally operating condition. Any usable format, like a .wav file would be great. Thanks

I too am looking for the rich Matrix 12 Patches as I just toasted my patches when I reset my IC chips on the Processor board and thought I killed the whole synth but it needed the memory reset and retuned and then it still sounded dead until I loaded the Expander audio and now it works but I have lost the fat sounds and it now sounds just like the Xpander instead. Ooops!

Here is the expander Mp3 cassette load factory patches for the Xpander:

Ok so even though the owner manual says Xpander data can be used, it actually does kind of mess up the synth... So yes, I have found the Sysex Matrix 12 data of factory patches set number 2. I also have a bunch of goodies on a hard drive and I will look for them and share when I find them... I will return and report. I will also try and place all goodies on an accessible URL for any Matrix 12 user who need help. I also have a YouTube video being prepared to cover a few maintenance things on this synth I will share later.

It appears that I must have experienced temporary "STUPID" as I cannot seem to find anything but "Conversations" , "Attachments" and Files attached under the "More" drop down menu and there does not seem to be a folder at least that I can find indicating "Matrix 12 Patches" ?
