Click the Rel Edit button in the Zones section of the upper panel to enter Relative Edit Mode.

Rel Edit allows you to edit multiple voices at once. Easily altering tonally similar groups or zones, or assigning macros on masse. Edits are relative, and differences between voices in a group are maintained. For instance, with a group of two voices, where one VCF Frequency is set to 10% and the other 50%, adjusting the 10% one up to 20% will make the other voice now at 60%.

Voice Tab Bar and Voice Selection

When entering Rel Edit mode you’ll see white outlines surround certain voices in the voice tab bar. These are the voices in the current Rel Edit Group.

By default all voices in the same zone as the currently view (blue) voice will be added to the group. You can add or remove voices from the current Rel Edit Group by holding the shift key and clicking the tabs.

Hold shift and click the tabs to add and remove them from the current group.

Assigning Macros and Modulations in Rel Edit

Where possible, Matrix 12 will allow you to assign modulations and macros in Rel Edit. However it will not overwrite any current assignments. If a new assignment made in Rel Edit mode cannot be made you’ll receive a message in the central LCD screen that it failed and for which voice.

For example:

Each parameter can only be assigned to one Macro. The process is the same. If the parameter is assigned to a macro in one voice, and you use Rel Edit to attempt to assign a different macro to that voice, it’ll skip that voice.

Modulation Depths

Modulation depths will only adjust across voices in Rel Edit mode if the other voices have the same mod source as the viewed voice. Others will ignore the edit.

For example:
