Ah..yes, you're right, I meant the Xpander rather than Matrix-6. I guess I was thinking 6 voices vs 12. Serves me right for posting late at night.

So yes, the Matrix-12 prelim manual was shipped along with an Xpander manual. Later, the finished the Matrix-12 maual and shipped to me, so I have all of them. The Xpander manual is a lot thicker than the Matrix-12 prelim operating guide, and the Matrix-12 manual is a lot thicker than the Xpander manual. So, I could scan them if needed, but I'll have to break the scans into multiple small files.

I'll scan them if you or anybody here really needs them. Just beware that I operate very slowly....

The guide has about a dozen or so illustrations of what the Matrix-12 VFD displays show during various operations, but nowhere near a full 59 illustrations of all the pages and sub-pages. The Preliminary Operations Guide is really a small subset of what was later published in the full Matrix-12 Owners Manual.

Still later, after the retro fit, they gave me a Pressure Sensitivity Owner's Manual Addendum. I have (paper) copies of all of these.
