Add to this a sequencer and arpeggiator, 256 memory locations, and much more and you have a truly impressive bit of hardware.
Modulation destinations include the controls in the analog effects. Four of these destinations are user programmable and you can also use the data encoder to set the amounts of each modulation routing. With the matrix, which is basically the heart of this synth, you can assign the 16 modulation sources to 16 mod destinations. What really drew people to the MatrixBrute is the complex modulation routing, step sequencing, and instant preset recall it has. The MatrixBrute also has no shortage of sound sculpting tools with its two ADSR envelopes and a 3rd DADSR envelope. Also, the two filters can be patched in either series or parallel configurations. A traditional Ladder filter is also included for those craving thick leads and punchy bass.
The Arturia Steiner Parker filter for the MatrixBrute was upgraded to support 12db per octave and 24db per octave slopes along with a DRIVE control to give you thicker sounds. You can bring brand new tonalities to your sound thanks to the AUDIO MOD section it had one of the most versatile noise generators on the market that can deliver white, pink, red, and blue noise types. From a technical standpoint, it features three analog oscillators, a combination VCO/LFO oscillator, as well as two standalone LFO's. The one thing that the MatrixBrute absolutely delivers on is giving users a hands-on experience without having to go menu diving. For the MatrixBrute they went for something bigger and better than what they have done before and it paid off. The most impressive thing about the MatrixBrute is that it comes from a company that built a reputation on software synthesizers before venturing into hardware with the MiniBrute and MicroBrute. Of course, these features all came with a hefty price tag, so this was and is not a synth that anyone is going to simply buy on a whim. When Arturia released the MatrixBrute in 2016 there were very few other synthesizers that could hold a candle to it in terms of features.
