Oberheim Matrix 1000 Sample Pack

Here are 181 samples from the Oberheim Matrix 1000 synthesizer I made a few years ago (apparently on a lonely christmas evening looking at the file date!) – all free for you to use in your own music productions to load up in your sampler – all in 16 bit WAV format! Lots of typical Oberheim spacey pads, strings, brassy stuff etc.etc.etc. Fresh ingredients for your MPC, Octatrack, Electribe, Ableton, FruityLoops, Tracker whatever you use to further your experiments in musical alchemy!
A littlebit of info about this synth:
a 19″ rack version of the Oberheim Matrix 6/6R stacked with 1000 preset patches. Two oscillator analog 12db Filter substractive synthesis with extreme modulation capabilities – You can’t edit it from the front panel but its fully editable with an editor, controller or ‘other’ Matrix 6/6R.

The sound is beautifull….sparkling, lush …..sharp but not harsch. Excells at brassy, plucky sounds, strings, pads but basses and other stuff can be quite decent too. Overall a ‘sophisticated arcane’ sound, nubile analog. It can sound incredibly scary and eerie. The Oberheim Matrix 1000 really shines with a bit of reverb
some sound demos:
Deep Japan influenced Oberheim tones
Jazzy & Lazy Oberheim sounds
Badalamenti strings transmorphing into SID style PWM
