[sdiy] Oberheim Matrix 6r ROM image needed

[ChristianH]

Considering that the 1000 has 800 ROM presets, I wouldn't expect it to
have the same firmware as anything else. It *may* be compatible, but
most certainly not the same.

And I seem to remember that there are some M6 or M6r SysEx messages that
the M1000 ignores. Don't have the manual right now, IIRC some additional
performance/effects/combination stuff.
