Hi Trevor,

Welcome to the list!

I too met Tom Obie at the '87 Summer NAMM in Chicago. I had my pix
made with him but the camera screwed up. "Bert" Bertovic, who felt
sorry for me, sent me a pix of Bert, Tom and some piano player named
Herbie Hancock....... haha I have it on my wall. Bert wrote the
Matrix 12 and Matrix 6 manuals (the good ones!) and worked PR for the
company. I thought he was pretty good but he must not have been good
enough!

I have a Matrix 6R which I would trade you for the M 1000. It has two
characters (No 7-8) out in the LED. Everything else works perfectly.
I also have the 1000 patches for it.

I also have 3 DMX and Xpander. The Xpander is not for sale-just
yet...... :)

You can email me at: tenorsax20@...
