Arturia steps up its game with MatrixBrute

[Flareless]

I just received this link from Arturia. Holy crap this thing looks cool!



Just when I decided I would be spending all my cash on modulars

[EDIT] Post title corrected - thanks!

Not MaxiBrute, MatrixBrute.

Meh, another mono synth. We need a real analog polyphonic (more than measly 6 voices) monster. Too bad Alesis went bankrupt with the Andromeda and never corrected the many bugs in the firmware.

Common Moog Music, where's the modern day version, 8 voices Memorymoog we're all waiting for ?

Sweetwater says that it will be $1999 USD.

Save a few more pennies and get the DSI OB-6...

[latigid on]

Looks like a logical progression over the Voyager, at least in terms of the controls.

[Flareless]

Damn that OB-6 is nice!

[mmarsh100]

Yeah, huh? I've always wanted an Expander or OB. I hope it's not three grand :/

[thealien666]

Yep, DSI OB6, $2999.

I'll wait for an 8 voice version. 6 is not enough for me. Think about the voice stealing when playing pads or strings with long envelope release ! Yuk.

Nice to see Arturia dig in with a big analog synth like this.

Looks like a lot of fun and nice to have all that cv versatility.

^YouTube link to MatrixBrute promo. Some talk about the synth being drowned by the rest of the band, but I hear this as an honest mix for rock-prog.

To me (opinion only from here), it has the Arturia sound that I hear in the MircoBrute. After I get a big, thick mix going with the Sub37 and Slim Phatty the MicroBrute has this ability to sneak thru the mix as its own voice.

Cool synth.

Yep, DSI OB6, $2999.

Actually Mr. Alien sir, as Canadians we get to pay $4236.54CAD based on the present online conversion rate. When we go to the bank or use Visa or Paypal to make the payment the number will likely be close to $4500

Better be VERY happy with a synth before spending that kind of cash!

[thealien666]

Yes indeed Flareless, our money isn't worth bleep these days. Not a good time to buy synths...

Honestly, the only not part of this that interests me at all, is the matrix. If someone would just make an input/output cv patchbay, with the matrix and some memory, it could do wonders for the modular world.

"What is The Matrix? Control."

Actually, that's a pretty cool idea. If done correctly and patched right it would give modular users the ability to have Presets.

Exactly. I had another idea to expand on it. A midi-in port to read program changes. Ideally the OS would be able to "link" it's presets with the preset of the exterior synth. So I could like "preset 7, bank A" on my voyager XL, with a specific matrix preset. Change preset on the voyager, the matrix follows, unless no link has been specified, then it holds its current state.
