I'm trying to find key sounds from my Matrix 6r that I use a lot -- Dreamer, Totohorn, Jocko, and a few others like the great sweep bass sound from the instrument. Even a non-free 6r/M1000 softsynth that could read my patch maps would be worth it if it uses standard controls to do things. (I'm blind, so these stupid bitmapped interfaces do me no good)
