I think I would take NI Massive and Battery

Seems to be very intuitive how he makes his music. Beter than laptop + mouse. I like the track :-)

@ Mike A
I would suggest to get Cubase or Logic or Ableton Live or some comparable sequencer.
Then get some good VSTi's (Linplug Albino, Native Instruments Massive, Cakewalk Z3ta+ etc.) and a tool for Drums (e.g. NI Battery).
You also need some serious FX plugins, the free Kjaerhus series is good to start with. Ambience is a good free reverb.

thank you, devious! it's the ikea "jerker". I can use it as a "normal" desk, too, very practical!

Doesn't it feel like your child now after you've spent that time and effort doing such?
Well, it was a really hard birth and we have a connection now, but it is not only positiv
Anyways, I don't know what was wrong with your pots, but next time just try some deoxy spray. It works wonders.
They were fully worn, the man who owned the synth before was a professional live-musician who played it since 1985 I had to remove tons of confetti, it was everywhere. I even found a paper-clip under the board
Post some photos if you get the chance.
I would like to, but unfortunately I don't own a cam...

Well the last few times I tried it, it wouldn't power up. But I tried it just now and it works! Go figure. It's not hooked up to anything at the moment though and my rack is kind of awkward to get to the back of but from memory, it has crackly voices and is generally unreliable. Biggest hoover sounds though.
The calibration-function (Master edit: No 52) might do wonders. The CEM 3396 chips are the weakest points in the matrixes, I had to replace one, too. If you need one, call me, I can make a good contact For any special questions go to the hardcore-synth-fetishists at http://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/index.php They have an englisch section, too.

I exchanged the felt on the aftertouch-bar, soldered all cables/ contacts once more and fixed the screws carefully. Now it works again But I don't know exactly, what caused the problem after all.
Aditionally I exchanged all buttons (23 pieces, ugh), replaced the two potentiometers in the levers and exchanged one broken voice chip. It was a lot of work and much sweat but now I'm happy with my matrix 6, everything works fine
Only the surface is not that beautiful anymore, many rusty areas. Maybe I find a solution even for that. Any ideas?

wrong thread i think
ehm... yes but the wine was good anyway
-
thank you for your help, devious!
I already knew the thread at matrixsynth, i started it. I'm sorry for the extra effort, but I want to reach as many people as possible because this seems to be a very seldom problem and spare-parts don't exist anymore.

Hello,
I have a "new" Oberheim Matrix 6 since last week. Unfortunately the Aftertouch doesn't work properly. I assume that the aftertouch-bar under the keys is broken. Do you know where to get replacement parts for that? Are there other synths that have such aftertouch-bars that might fit? It's monophonic, all voices react on aftertouch in the same way at the same time. I mean- they should do that, but ATM they don't

hello,
here you might get informations about repairing the AT:
http://www.alphadial.org/tips.htm#after
BTW: that's a very good alpha juno site!
there was also a more detailed tutorial about that AT-rpair-topic somewhere in the net but i don't find the ling. google might help.

I use Cubase SL3 (the predecessor of Studio 4) and it's really good. But I think Logic etc. are good, too. You just have to know your programs.

Behringer Mixer (cheap quality! The contacts of the "knobs" (potentiometers) don't work properly and that results often in incorrect stereo-panning)
Behringer Pre Amp (noisy as hell!)
M-audio Radium (I don't like the keys. Maybe it's a matter of taste. Sometimes notes get stuck, different keys respond differently to pressure. Programming is not intuitive at all)

how much did you pay for the mackie? i have a behringer here, too, and I'm not very happy with it...

here are some interesting facts taken from: plur magazine nov 97
PLUR: What do you have in your studio?( if you think this is a
secret, you don't have to answer this one)
AP: First of all great acoustics, I designed and built the studio
myself with the help of an architect friend. I have a lot of Roland gear
mostly old analog stuff: MKS's, JX's, JUNO's, TR's. A lot of analog
synths of various types, high-end out board gear like Lexicon and
Valley. Some digital recorders, ADATs etc.......I have a nice GH CH
desk with automation, IBM & ATARI computers and a very special
30 years old Neumann tube microphone.
PLUR: Let's get to the technical side the other musicians are
curious about. What's the main synthesizer or sampler you use?
AP: Emu Emaxўє, Roland MKS50, TR909, TB303, SH101 There's
no main synth really and we don't sample that much but almost
every song we do has: EN EMAX II, Roland MKS 50, TR 909, TB
303, SH 101, and a lot more........
PLUR: Many of your tracks have this long "kick". How do you make
it?
AP: I program the kick on an analog synth of some kind then eq,
compress, gate, sample it.
PLUR: Do you use lots of effect on tracks, like filter, envelope, or
compressor? How?
AP: Yeah, I use a lot of delays, chorusing for stereo image, I
compress the rhythm section sometimes.

I want to buy an alpha juno 2 or an MKS-50 becaus I like the sound of analog gear and menawhile I'm a bit tired of software-sound. Unfortunately I use Cubase SL 3 and it's not possible to control synths with mixermaps or something similar because SL doesn't have this feature (in opposite to SX). Does anybody know if there is a solution to control synths with cubase SL (or another software) on PC and a normal midi-controller that isn't capable of sending sysex (I have an M-Audio Radium)? Or do I have to get a sysex-controller like e.g. Behringer BCR?

interesting and i love your new tracks. kind magic, fresh and inspiring.

some of the cosmosis albino presets make vowel-like sounds. I think the ocs are sent through 2 bandpass-filters with high resonance and different cutoff-frequencies, which are controlled by mod-wheel.
this might help you, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formant

yeah, me too don't know much about fm-synthesis tho...
