ARTURIA – Matrix-12 V – USER MANUAL 22
 Play Test Tone helps you to troubleshoot audio issues by confirming whether
sound can be heard through the correct device.
 Your connected MIDI devices will appear in the MIDI Devices area. Click the
check box to accept MIDI from the device you want to use to trigger the
instrument. In standalone mode, Matrix-12 V listens for all MIDI channels so
there’s no need to specify a channel. You can specify more than one MIDI
device at once.
2.2.2 Audio and MIDI settings: Mac OS X
The process is very similar to initial setup for Windows and the menu is accessed in
the same way. The difference is that OS X uses CoreAudio to handle audio routing
and the audio device selection is made in the second dropdown menu. Apart from
that, the options work the same way as described in the Windows section.
2.2.3 Using Matrix-12 V in plug-in mode
Matrix-12 V comes in VST, AU and AAX plug-in formats for use in all major DAW
software such as Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools and so on. You can load it as a plug-in
instrument and its interface and settings work the same way as in standalone mode,
with a couple of differences.
 You can automate numerous parameters using your DAW’s automation
system.
 You can use more than one instance of Matrix-12 V in a DAW project. In
standalone mode you can only use one at once.
 You can route Matrix-12 V’s audio outputs more creatively inside your DAW
using the DAW’s own audio routing system.
