Sorry.
I remeber now that probably each CEM chip has a resonance and cutoff section on its own... Am I wrong So the less organic sound on the M1000 is an issue of the "narrow body" Cem instead of the "regular sized" CEM found on the Matrix6. Or maybe a digital control of the filter on the Matrix 1000 makes them to work too "tight", making them to sound a little poorer...As a cat on a leash looses personality... :-)
Anyway, googleing around, I found an interesting thing about the Cheetah M6, that uses the same narrow body CEM 3396 chips of the Matrix1000. And there is the chance, as the site keeper writes, to add some extra waveforms on the Cheetah. Maybe also on Matrix 1000
Here are the pages that maybe could be useful to You:

Just write me what do You think, I know it's too easy to suggest something hard, when You have not to work upon it. But, who knows...
Cheers,

Great idea,pal. I would like to see
implemented a thing that only Matrix6 seems to have ( afaik
) comparing with our little puppy: filter and resonance
discrete for each of its 6 voices.... It makes the sound
fatter, more organic, as I can hear on my analog-filtered
Korg DW8000.Chorus

         This is just a bit of "What
if".
Please treat it as a thought experiment.  
I love my Matrix-1000. I love 8-bit
machinery. And I love modding things, finding simple hacks
that make things better without taking large chunks of
your
lifetime.
Good starting point:
I'll have to take apart my Obie anyway; the battery will
have to be replaced sometime, and there's the v1.13
bugfix firmware update by Fetz.  
But why stop there I think there may be
a couple of things you could do to enhance the M1000's
scope, following these simple
rule:  Tradition: Any modification has
to be downward compatible to existing Matrix
sounds.  
Simplicity: It has to be
simple.  
Aesthetics: It has to fit the
original housing.  
Incrementalism: Even if
it's something big, you'd start small and move on
step by step.
Pragmatism: If it already
exists, don't bother building it, buy it.  
The reason for the last rule is
time - there's never enough of it, at least with me. So
to keep moving, it is vital to be able to stop at any
point
and still have a working unit.  
So these are the things I could come
up with that might be done.:A per-voice ring modulator.
Switched on by an unused bit in, say, the Unison
parameter.  
Switching the
filter from 4-pole to 2-pole.  Making the M1000
respond in real-time.  OK, Number 3 seems to
violate my rules of simplicity and incrementalism - this
is
a HUGE project, or so it seems. The M1000 is an old beast
with a tired heart - the 6809 processor won't be able to
respond any faster. But maybe you can use 21st century
technology to assist it - use a modern single-chip system,
maybe even something like a Raspberry Pi, and have it run
the original firmware, based on the technology behind the
MAME game machine emulator. Then go ahead and replace the
time-consuming modulation calculation routines by native
code. Tweak, repeat.  
The result wouldn't be a
different synth. Anybody who wants to build a totally
different synth may go and buy his or her fucking Eurorack
system. But it would be a better synth. An object of
desire.  
So what
would you dream up for the Ãœberheim
Matrix-1000
