Oberheim Clone of Matrix 6 MIDI CC chart, NRPN and OSC map

The Oberheim Clone of Matrix 6 MIDI implementation: 1 SysEx commands, each named, for Claude (MCP), SuperCollider or any OSC app.

Device Oberheim Clone of Matrix 6
Vendor Oberheim
OSC prefix /clone_of_matrix_6
Source πŸŽ›οΈ Derived from an Electra One community preset
Revision per Electra preset
Upstream electra-preset
Driver file devices/oberheim/clone_of_matrix_6.json
Not tested on the device yet

This driver comes from documentation or community data and has not been checked on real hardware. If you own one, a quick test and a pull request promoting it helps everyone β€” see CONTRIBUTING.

How do you control it?

Find the MIDI ports, then start the bridge with this driver:

osc-bridge detect        # prints the ready-to-run line for what is plugged in
osc-bridge run --device devices/oberheim/clone_of_matrix_6.json --out-port <N> --in-port <M>

Then send OSC to 127.0.0.1:7777, for example:

osc-bridge osc-send /clone_of_matrix_6/freq_vcf1

From Claude or any MCP client, the osc-bridge mcp server exposes this driver as clone_of_matrix_6: ask β€œwhat can the Oberheim Clone of Matrix 6 do?” and it reads this map with list_routes. See the MCP guide.

Performance MIDI

Notes, pitch bend and any CC are also available: /clone_of_matrix_6/note/on <note> <velocity>, /clone_of_matrix_6/cc/<number> <value>, /clone_of_matrix_6/pitchbend <0-16383>, /clone_of_matrix_6/program_change <n>.

Limitations

Imported from an Electra One community preset. The mapping reflects the preset author's editorial choices: parameter naming, ranges, and which params are exposed. Untested on hardware in this repo.

Frequently asked questions

Can an AI agent like Claude control the Oberheim Clone of Matrix 6?

Yes: SynthHub's hosted MCP server knows the Oberheim Clone of Matrix 6's MIDI map, and its browser relay lets the agent send it parameter changes or load a sound, each sound change confirmed by you.
