The Arturia MatrixBrute is a hugely versatile analog synth that features three Brute oscillators, two output filters, five analog effects, and a vast modulation matrix. Already considered a modern classic, MatrixBrute opens up countless creative opportunities that will keep even the most adventurous synthesist exploring for a lifetime.
Analog sound, digital brain
MatrixBrute features the best aspects of both worlds. Pure analog sound creation and shaping, with comprehensive digital mapping and preset storage behind the scenes. Those familiar with Arturia’s iconic MiniBrute and MicroBrute will feel right at home sitting at MatrixBrute’s control panel; with access to Arturia’s trademark sawtooth, pulse, and triangle waves, as well as the unique Brute waveshapers. MatrixBrute also features two superb filters: Arturia’s acidic Steiner-Parker, and a creamy ladder filter based on Bob Moog’s legendary design.
The power of the matrix
Whether you’ll use MatrixBrute for music or sound design, the possibilities expand almost infinitely when you start integrating the modulation matrix. Letting you virtually patch hundreds of points, you’ll discover sounds you never thought possible. The matrix has many different functions, and also lets you save and recall presets, and acts as an advanced step-sequencer.
Macro magic
So many knobs to tweak, so many sounds to shape. With such a limitless array of possibilities, you’ll quickly realize the downside of only having one pair of hands. Fortunately, MatrixBrute features 4 macro encoders that let you stack several parameters into one knob, putting you in full control of your performance.
