Arturia shared this overview of the modulation options of the new MatrixBrute analog synthesizer.
In the video, composer & synthesist Nori Ubukata discusses the modulation matrix and demonstrates the sound-shaping potential of Arturia’s flagship synthesizer.
Pricing and Availability
The Arturia MatrixBrute is available for pre-order with a street price of about US $2,000. See the Arturia site for more info.
Or a Behringer DeepMind 12 note polyphonic analogue synthesizer with 24 oscillators, TC effects and wifi control for exactly half as much…as far as I can tell from the 2 videos, the modulation matrix on the DeepMind is even more flexible (all be it on an LCD rather than a big bank of buttons).
You need to lower the price Arturia, get it to 800 bucks and we can talk…..
Arturia lost the opportunity with the new Behringer. All the focus is on DeepMind 12 now.
Sort of like the MiniBrute killed Moog?
Pffft. Completely different synths, there’s no comparison. The MatrixBrute is well worth 2k, assuming the quality is there, which it looks like it will be. I’m getting an MB, the DM12 doesn’t interest me much as I have enough synths to cover that area (bread & butter poly).
What a tonally delicious beastie, and a lovely demo. Two thousand dollars, though?
The Modulation Matrix is the selling point. It is super VCS3 visual. Very good.
Sadly as is now becoming obvious if Arturia was thinking of selling it for £1999 they will sell about 270 of them. The DeepThroat 12 at £999 will be looking at 27000 sold.
while the modulation matrix is a nice idea the synth is way overpriced and sounds like plastic.
Acrylic or polystyrene?
I love me some ABS….
new Behringer or not, it’s a total failed from Arturia.
Don’t be ridiculous. If you love anologue you want both the arturia and the behringer and then you can throw away all your old anologue tatt. Baseline arturia, chords behringer. 80’s dream, yes please…
I think it sounds great! The modulation options are what will sell this synth. I’m looking forward to seeing what the sequencer can do.
Do the buttons blink at the LFO rate?
Or is that flickering just a video artifact?
Looks and sounds good to me.
The matrix is the heart of Matrixbrute. It allows for complex modulation routing, step-sequencing and instant preset recall.
