Oberheim Matrix 1000 issues

2007-02-04 by Quazimodo

Hi Guys,

Hope someone here can help.

I have a Matrix 1000. It started missing notes - so I got a few
CEM3396 chips and replaced a couple of them. The missing notes
returned but now it is behaving strangely on different patches. Most
patches sound right and I'm getting all 6 voices but now and then on
certain patches it behaves very wierdly. For example on a patch that
should be "Monophonic" and FAT I am getting POLYphonic and weedy
sounds - and then playing the six notes in succession within that
weedy patch (105) they jump octaves on certain ones.

Anyone any ideas - I don't think it's the CEM chips now.
What else could/should I be looking at replacing?

Cheers in advance.
Tom
