I just tried it on the initialized patch.
The maximum mod of 189 gives a minor 6th (7 semitones).
So in theory (haven't tried it),
for each semitone you want to add, you'd up the mod level by 27.
And to go above that m6th, use a 2nd mod slot, like Examigan says.

Kind of a PITA, but it's a pretty old synth, probably made before semitones were invented. :D

Programming the pitch bend range on the Oberheim Matrix 6/6r machines is a little tricky. There isn't a setting specifically for it, but rather you need to use the Mod Matrix to program the range. What is also weird is that there isn't a full octave amount if you're looking for a one octave bend range. The trick is to use two mod matrix slots, one slot to bend up part way, and another slot with the same source and destination points the rest of the way. One value set to 63 or a minor 6th, another value at 58 or a major 3rd. The combined total amount would create a full octave. Pages 51 thru 53 in the manual spell out how much pitch bend amounts different values generate to specific pitches. The manual is found in many places online in pdf format. It's a scan of the manual, not a true type text manual, specifically:

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/45972 ... =55#manual (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/459729/Oberheim-Matrix-6.html?page=55#manual)

Guessing this would probably apply to all Oberheim matrix synths, hardware or software. Hope this helps.
