It's a cool little synth, and that's a pretty great price. It's quite a bit
thinner sounding than the Matrix 12 or Xpander, also by Oberheim, but still
capable of some quite cool sounds. I had one back in the day, and often
wish I still did.

as I recall, there is a mode that assigns each of the 6 voices in the
Matrix to different MIDI channels, so if the GR-1 can output each string on
a different channel, you should be in business.
