So, you've got a nice bit of kit ya, but it's missin' analogue.


So far the lovely SE-1X, but please, give your first choices...

Conditions:

- It's gotta be new
- It's gotta be all analogue, (uhummm, no dco)
- Under 2200 USD please.

lemme tell ya, Matrix6 and Matrix1000 have the same level of programmability once you start using s/w editors.

you could try to program Matrix6 via its tiny screen and one data slider interface but you´d probably get sick of it pretty fast. not to mention that all important parameters are written on top of the Matrix6, so they are usually scratched beyond repair due to rackmounting. Matrix 6 is maybe a bit cooler because it has a bi-timbral mode and M1000 is only monotimbral. oh, and some people claim that M6 has a warmer sound due to cheap japanese components used. Matrix1000 was built in the USA and features (allegedly) much better components (assuring better reliability and logevity, again allegedly).

Both are as complex and powerfull as you want them to be. the sound is kinda silky and smooth, and it takes a bit of work to get away from its 80´s origin IMHO. i´ve managed to make my M1000 sound ruff and growly, although its definitely better suited for pads, leads, and such.

my 2p. who was asking about Matrix in the first place? am i at last going to get someone to exchange sounds with?

cheers, m.

What are Junos like now. I played with one once and liked it. I know they were the staple in dance production at one time but are probably considered old hat now. I've got a friend who's got only analogue. Some vintage stuff like a fairly rare Arp. Does something like a Matrix or the MOTM modules give you wilder sound possibilities then?

yeh   junos are dco as opposed to 'true' analog vco, so you'll get different textures. i believe the juno 106 is more or less 2 oscs (no fm but yes on sync) lowpass, lsiders for envelopes and stuff. other junos are handicapped from there.. less sliders et c. nothing your sn can't handle.

never played a Matrix, but I do own and play a
106...

Dunno if their old hat... cuse I still hear them
everywhere. But even IF it is so, it's a great
sound with A LOT of inspiration.

The synth engine coupled with that Curtis filter
chip is the best combo ever... just gorgeous

Filter does step tho with a lot of resonance. No
one will notice tho, cuse evey step sounds like
a new note (which is great character).

Anyway, try to get it just for fun... You'll never
know what will happen. Once I got the 106, I
threw my JP-8k out the window... (JP-8k is up
for sale btw, $ 700 if anyone's intrested).

I love that filter stepping. have tried to emulate it with some success. Wish I could get a 106.
