Matrix-6 FRNKNSTN patch

[Bob Schrum]

     As promised long ago (to whom I cannot recall), here is a SysEx dump 
     my Oberheim Matrix-6 version of the "Frankenstein" sound effect 
     originally done in the 70's on a 2600 by Edgar Winters.  It uses a 
     self-oscillating VCF, frequency modulated by the DCO.  LFO2 gates VCA1 
     with a square wave.
     
     To perform, hold the bottom C on the keyboard.  ENV2 fades the sound 
     in.  The tracking generator shapes ENV1 to hold the VCFFQ in place 
     until ENV2 reaches max.  To change the shape & timing of the fall, 
     adjust the tracking generator points to your liking.  Keyboard 
     pressure cam be used to subtlely affect VCFFQ.  The sustain pedal 
     works to immediately bring the frequency to its low-limit.  Once at 
     the lowest point, the pitchbend and mod wheels allow real-time 
     modulation of the VCFFQ.
     
     For the most authentic sound, you need a reverb unit that will allow 
     you to sweep decay time (room size) smoothly from hall to bathroom as 
     the frequency falls.  
     
     SAFETY NOTE: Please use a compressor/limiter!  I have first-hand 
     experience with power amps going thermal and large JBL's going to that 
     big gig in the sky with this patch!  (Though I can bet nearly analog 
     synth fan can relate similar experiences!)
     
     This file might work with the Matrix-1000 too.  If you come up with an 
     improved version, by all means pass it on.  If you find this file will 
     not load on your unit, let me know.  I'll send hand-transcribed patch 
     parameters.
