Happy to inform you that the Matrix 6 is now operational and sounding awesome. In my haste to install the used Display Board I overlooked the required keypad buttons which I lifted from the original defective board,a bit of cleaning, put the cover back on, the unit came back to life. Once again, thank you for your interest and suggestions in helping with the repair of this fine synth..with a minimal investment this Oberheim Matrix 6 will be used in my home studio for rehearsals and recording...

Those are not error codes. It's the display reading crap. Try the initializer ion... Hold the red button, then power up. It should come up in calibration mode.

HiI don’t know the error codes but my advice is to check the power supply voltages carefully. I found that minor variations (2-3volts) can cause weird things to happen in that synth.ScottFrom: oberheim@yahoogroups.com [ mailto:oberheim@yahoogroups.com ]
