Hello

I'm not an Oberheim expert or anything,

but I use one of the black 1000's onstage every night.

It's in my rack with a few other things.

(yes, it's been rebuilt, but original firmware chip)

and I've just purchased another non funtioning black one.

I have heard of this "crashing" thing LOTS when using one of the various

ED/LIB's you can find online,and I have always heard the same answer.

It crashes with apple, any apple.

And that's that. From every article, message board, and forum

I could find so far, it's the same story.

EVEN if you are booted up in some type of XP mode.

The EASY solution I've read about is pretty much what I use.

"Acquire" an older cheapo laptop doesn't have 2 B at all fast,

from eBay or elsewhere, and try XP. If that one doesnt work for you,

then one must acquire and old cheapo copy of WIN98.

I use an old IBM T-42,(got that for 90.00 USD on eBay)

and WIN98 that my mum had lying around from days gone by,

and use it exclusively to edit or add sounds (patches)

to my M 1000 with Matrix 2001, and my TX-802.

(actually, if I'm really bored at rehearsal sometimes ,

I watch CSI Miami FLV files on it propped up on my top keyboard... LOL!!!)

I've NEVER had a crash when using that combination.

My other gear is much more current and works with my everyday

laptop & Windows 7.

I would think some genius out there has a workaround this apple problem,

but I've never read or heard of it.

As for that Jsynth.lib, I know I just saw that to download somewhere on

one of the Oberheim pages out there. Someone uploaded

an old copy they had found on their hard drive I think.

I will actually take a few minutes this weekend and see if I have

that one on of my memory sticks. I think I remember downloading

it late one night. But I could B wrong. If I find it, I'll put it in the files section.

Did you already check the files section

My question 2 U is:

I've seen that demo for the OB 6000 software

and went to their site and saw the 40.00 price.

Is it worth the money over the free ones

Does it have a lot more features or animated graphics or something

Or are you just using the static demo like I have

see ya...

Hi, I'm desperately trying to find an editor for my matrix 1000. I've tried OB6000 and all the others I can find online (Midiquest, Matrix2001 seems to have disappeared as well as something called jsynth.lib)

OB6000 and the others I've tried all crash my Matrix1000 when I import patches. It's really frustrating.

My model is a black Matrix1000 firmware 1.03 does anyone know if it's related to the firmware version I heard they went up to 1.11 so maybe mine is an early version.

I am running Mac OSX lion but can also run Windows XP on it so any platform is good.

But always the same issue - some of them half work, but in the end they ALL crash the Matrix when receiving sysex patch dumps and or/editing.
Driving me nuts.

Any help MUCH appreciated thank you!!!!
