thanks for the input retali8 and rude66. I'll check it out tomorrow. The seller does seem like someones who's first prize is his lowest price, but i'll see.
I ran the mac editor yesterday just to see how it works and i must say i'm pretty impressed with all the possibilities this machine has, the modulation matrix and all the different settings are pretty advanced.
Ha !
Using the editor was a step forward... but having a Drehbank with the Matrix 6 is really amazing !Finally hands on control
Hi, do you use the drehbank icw the editor? Or did you program all the knob using the drehbank software?
In the last case, can you give me an example of the strings and values I need to enter. Just for one knob is fine.
System exclusive is not so easy.
No i only used the Matrix editor to look for the sysex string it's sending out ( using midiox ).
Then i used the drehbank editor to put the sysex strings in the drehbank.
So now i don't need to have that shite computer powered on just to make a patch 
For the Matrix the sysex string should look like this : F0 10 06 06 -- xx F7
-- being the parameter you need to figure out and xx being the value ( 0- 63, or 0-3 or whatever )
You don't have to put the value in the string itself, but you need to adjust it in the edit knob screen of the
derhbank edtor.
I can advise you to make a list of the Matrix patch edit parameters in the order they are listed
on the casing :
00 DCO1 FREQ
01 DCO1 FREQ MOD / LFO 1
02 DCO1 SYNC
etc... up to
98 LFO2 SAMPLE INPUT
and then start filling in the corresponding sysex parameter.
It took me a weekend to learn about and get used to the HEXA decimal system but once you get it
it's just as simple as normal counting . Only when you get from 09, the next value isn't 10 , but 0A !!!
This goes uptill 0F , and then goes up to 10.
When i figured that out i had a big Einstein moment 
which you won't have because now i told you... sorry...
So
00 DCO1 FREQ 00 so the string would be F0 10 06 06 00 F7
01 DCO1 FREQ MOD / LFO1 01 F0 10 06 06 01 F7
...
15 DCO2 WAVESHAPE 0F F0 10 06 06 0F F7
etc up to
98 LFO2 SAMPLE INPUT 62 F0 10 06 06 62 F7
well this is about all the info you need to get you going... in fact you don't even need to think that much anymore.
Only make that list and fill in the sysex values
Have fun programming!
Cool, thank you!!. I'll give it a try some day. I'm familiar with hex counting.
very cool. and very practical.
there was one here in holland on marktplaats for 400 euri last night.. but if you want the one for 500, try to talk him down, most sellers are willing to give something..
Lol the guy that was selling it here in holland for 400 just changed the auction and raised the price to 450!
that's unbelievable...even a matrix 6 is getting hard to get for a decent price.
I paid 300euros for a 6r like three years ago and I thought it wasn't cheap (well it was, and still is in really good condition).
You could look for a matrix1000 also.
Fuck I hate it when people jack up the price after listing it for a lower price! motherfuckers
Seen that a few times lately
Btw Pauli, liked that jam you posted...zoned out to that pretty hard while i was meant to be working yesterday. haha
