Hi there,
I don't know if it's of any use to you guys but here are a couple of other options, pardon me if they were already mentioned.

I haven't used Matrix 1000 or MatrixEd, but I can say I've used most of the other ones you guys talked about and the only totally reliable solution I have found is using the Cubase patch script panel found on the Cykong site. It is also the nicest GUI I have come across for editing the Matrix.

Note that you don't need the newest version of Cubase to use it, in fact you could probably find a 'lite' version for free or next to nothing hanging around - like the demos you get with certain hardware for example.

Editors -
Mac OSX based editor called Matrix 1000X by David K. Cornutt:

PC Win '95 editor that may work with XP, called MatrixEd:

Cubase patch script editor for Mac or PC, the only reliable solution I have found:

> 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.
