Oberheim Matrix synthesizers are a historic product line of analog synthesizers from Oberheim featuring a method of synthesis which Oberheim called "Matrix Modulation" as a method of defining preset and user patches. While the Matrix 12 (a 12 voice version of the Oberheim Xpander along with an added keyboard) are based on CEM Oscillators, the two models Matrix 6 and Matrix 1000 are notable for their implementation of DCOs, which maintain a completely analog sound but are controlled by digital circuitry, making them much more stable. The Matrix 6r and Matrix 1000 are both rackmount versions of the Matrix 6. Matrix synthesizers continue to be popular due to their characteristic late-1980s analog sound.

Famous quotes containing the word matrix:
““The matrix is God?”
“In a manner of speaking, although it would be more accurate ... to say that the matrix has a God, since this being’s omniscience and omnipotence are assumed to be limited to the matrix.”
“If it has limits, it isn’t omnipotent.”
“Exactly.... Cyberspace exists, insofar as it can be said to exist, by virtue of human agency.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
