Oberheim Matrix-1000 Soundbanks

Volume 1 (Wind Controller)

Wind Controller #1 - A unique bank of 100 breath controlled Pro Patches specially designed for the Oberheim Matrix-1000 by wind controller expert Matt Traum to be controlled with a wind controller such as the WX5, WX7, WX11, WindJamm'r, Akai EWI and EVI, EWI5000, EWI4000s, Nyle Steiner's MIDI EVI and MIDI EWI, MDT, NuEVI, NuRAD, Sylphyo, or Synthophone. Keyboardists can also enjoy these highly expressive Oberheim Matrix-1000 sounds when used with a Yamaha BC1, BC2, or BC3 plugged directly into a keyboard equipped with a breath controller input or plugged into a device such as the MIDI Solutions Breath Controller Box or Anatek Wind Machine.

These sounds require a wind controller or breath controller for proper use. These sounds load inside an Oberheim Matrix-1000 sound module. They do NOT load inside a wind controller.

Designed with the wind instrumentalist in mind, you won't find any pianos, organs, or drums in this Oberheim Matrix-1000 soundbank. You WILL find lots of expressive lead and solo sounds, acoustic and breathy wind instruments, synth leads and basses, as well as some of the fattest unison patches you've ever heard! Through careful programming, the full range of expression is attained simply by transmitting breath control messages. These professional quality sounds are especially warm, full, and exceptionally responsive to your breath expression. Features EVI trumpet, trombone, Metheny, distorted guitar, Lyle lead, clarinet, MiniMoog, pan flute, Brecker, piccolo, Jocko, Quincy, bass clarinet, flute, Chick lead, oboe, English horn, tuba, soprano sax, trumpet, and much more! These wind sounds will "Blow you down"! 5 stars.

Please Note: This Oberheim Matrix-1000 soundbank is specially designed for use with a wind controller or breath controller and thus requires one of these devices for proper use. These sounds require MIDI continuous controller #2 (breath controller) in order to make any sound. If you do not have a wind controller or breath controller you will probably not be able to use these sounds.

EWI Virtuoso Ed Calle Comments...

"Your stuff is great. I am just starting to get the EWI back in shape for the new tour and will be using your sounds extensively. All the best."

Ed Calle, Grammy Nominated, Sony Latin Recording Artist and wind controller virtuoso. Has worked with Steve Gadd, John Pattitucci, Arturo Sandoval, and many other top professionals

"I highly recommend the Patchman Music wind synth library. In my opinion these are the best patches available for pro wind synth players. I find that most of the sounds are very very good." - Gary Bias (M.C. Hammer, Earth, Wind & Fire, Randy Crawford)

"Hi, Matt. I just wanted to thank you for the great sounds you've been providing me over the years, starting with the soundbank for the good old WT11 back in 1991 or so, up to the present. But I have to say regarding the EWI4000s- that this time you've really outdone yourself! I like the instrument a lot even though I'm still more used to the feel of my trusty WX7. And although I was happy to have an axe that could travel with its own sounds, most of those were pretty dull and lifeless. I figured I'd just have to live with that for now, but I should have known better. Once I dragged that Midifile into my DP software and loaded it into the 4000S, it was like the skies opened up. Suddenly, it became a serious synth axe that could hold its own. I can't wait to start combining patches with the VL70-m! Once again, hats off to you for serving us wind-synthers over the years. Best." - Premik Tubbs, saxist & flutist for Santana, Whitney Houston, John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Lonnie liston-Smith & others

"The patches are cool. It makes me sound like Brecker! There are unusual twists in the patches that I haven't heard before - musical twists that make the patches sound exciting. I think this paired up with the VL1 will be incredible. I like all of your 'Lyle' patches - warm, and cool. The Robot patch is very nice! I plan to try these out w/the band very soon. Thanks!" - Aron Nelson, Opcode Galaxy Programmer/Guru

"I have your patches for the Martrix-1000 and love them. You are a great programmer."- Mark Steiner, EVI player and nephew of EVI/EWI inventor Nyle Steiner

"Hi Matt! Just wannna drop a note and say thank you for the Matrix-1000 patches. THEY ARE JUST MARVELLOUS!!!!!! My EVI has never sounded that fat. JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! The Matrix also blends real nice with my XV-5050. You're a genius."

"You might want to check out the Oberheim Matrix-1000 with the Patchman Bank... [it is] extremely responsive with incredibly FAT analog patches."

"I'm really enjoying the new-found freedoms available to me with your wind controller patches for my EWV2000, M1, and Matrix-1000. Playing them is causing me to realize how hard it's been to control and be lyrical with the sounds I've used in the past."

"Just wanted to let you know that I received the Matrix patch bank you sent me... I've only spent a couple of hours with them so far, but I'm impressed. Great job."

"I've found quite a few sounds on the [Matrix-1000] Volume to be pretty useful. Of course, our tastes are all different, and I hesitate to make blanket recommendations to everybody. But Matt does know what he's doing, and these sounds really are properly set up to work with wind controllers."

"The Patchman sounds are great and an integral part of my set-up. They're very expressive and quite usable. (By the way; an unsolicited endorsement)."

"The Patchman patches are very nice, a big improvement over the [stock] sounds. I'm perfectly happy with the Patchman patches."

"Thanks for the patches for my EWI rack!! They are truly great. Please let me know when you do some more for the Matrix-6R, Korg M3R, TX81Z. These boxes have truly come to life for me! Thanks Again."

"Really like the patches, you've done a great job creating a smooth BC amplitude response on the VL and Matrix."
