Description
MatrixBrute is arguably the most powerful analog monophonic synthesizer
ever !
As flexible as a modular system but offering presets, MatrixBrute is a dream machine for everyone interested in creating a sound palette of their own.
When was the last time you felt your heart beating faster?
When was the last time you heard sounds you had never heard before?
When was the last time you met an instrument that truly inspired pleasure and creativity?
MatrixBrute is an outstanding analog synthesizer. Offering three Brute oscillators, a Steiner-Parker filter and a ladder filter, five analog effects, and the incredible modulation matrix. It is a massive sonic beast.
Power beyond the matrix
The heart of the MatrixBrute is its unique modulation matrix that allows you to create your own
routings
. You can invent a sound palette of your own that will be sure to be heard in any
mix !
The matrix can also be used to recall your presets. So go on stage, and select any of the 256 presets instantly! No menus or awkward selection
screensscreens
, everything is at your fingertips.
As if it was not enough, the matrix is also made to
program
and play sequences. This is no ordinary step-sequencer. With its ability to also be used as a modulation source, sounds evolve in melody and texture, just the way you want.
Sound beyond the power
Offering
a audiosignal
path that is is 100%
analogue
, MatrixBrute also features true
analogue
effects. The MatrixBrute gives you the sonic quality and power of a vast modular synthesizer but with the flexibility of presets along with a great arpeggiator and an advanced sequencer.
MatrixBrute is a truly empowering instrument!! It offers tons of connections so you can work in any set-up. It brings a quality
keybed
and a solid chassis.
No endless menus or screens to navigate or multi-function buttons to remember. Forget about connectivity issues. This is you in control. This is you inventing sounds. This is analog
avant

Hands-On Heaven
Forget about tiny LCD screens, being lost in menus and sub-menus, and trying to remember double functions and complex procedures. MatrixBrute brings back the fun and the immediate hands-on experience of synthesis.
When you want things to shake, grab the Sub Osc slider and bring it on. When you want it to sizzle, grab the filter knob and open it up. And when it’s time to unleash the beast, grab the Brute Factor™ knob and turn it loose! It’s that easy.
Three Analog Oscillators:
Sawtooth, Pulse, Triangle, waves with the unique waveshapers that have become the trademark of the 'Brute' sound. There is also a sub-oscillator on each of the two Brute oscillators.
Combination VCO/LFO oscillator:
The third Oscillator can be used for both audio signals and LFO modulation at the same time. You do not have to choose either operation here so you can always have that big 3 oscillator sound.
Noise Generator:
Noise generator with White, Pink, Red and Blue noise types. The most versatile on the market.
Audio Mod:
The AUDIO MOD section allows for complex oscillator and filter FM possibilities bringing whole new tonalities to your sound.
Performance Controls:
Pitch bend and mod wheels and 4 Macro encoders which can be assigned to any of the modulation destinations for instant
hands on
performance playing.
Voice Modes:
Multiple keyboard modes for mono,
paraphonic
and duo-split modes. Split oscillators for
paraphonic
mode or use the duo split mode to play a sequence while playing notes over the top of it.
Three LFO’s:
Two standalone LFO’s with 7 waveforms and trigger modes allow for complex modulations. The combination VCO/LFO adds a 3rd LFO in the system.
Mixer:
Mix and blend Oscillators 1, 2, 3, as well as the noise generator and EXTERNAL input sources. Route each mixer input to the filter of your choice using the FILTER assign buttons.
Steiner-Parker filter:
We have upgraded our
Steiner Parker
filter to support both 12db per octave and 24db per octave slopes as well as a DRIVE control for making thicker sounds. The 4 modes, Low pass, band pass, high pass, and notch allow for a vast array of
sound making possibilites
.
Ladder Filter:
We have included a traditional beefy Ladder filter with both 12db and 24db per octave slopes as well as Low Pass, High Pass & Band Pass
modes
and a Drive control. This filter design is known for making punchy bass and thick lead sounds.
Filter routing:
The two filters can be patched in series or in parallel configurations.
3 Envelope Generators:
The two ADSR envelopes and the 3rd DADSR envelope give you plenty of
sound sculpting
tools.
256 Memory locations:
Store and recall your favorite sounds at the touch of a button. You can organize, save and load new banks of sounds using the free MIDI Control Center editor application. We deliver MatrixBrute with 128
factory
presets.
The Matrix
The matrix is the heart of
Matrixbrute
. It allows for complex modulation routing,
step-sequencing
and instant preset recall.
Modulation Routing: You can assign any of 16 modulation sources to any of 16 mod destinations. 4 destinations are user programmable and can be seen in the e-ink display. Set amounts of each modulation routing using the data encoder.
Step Sequencer: The matrix can be used as a 64 step sequencer with separate STEP, ACCENT, SLIDE and MODULATION steps.
Preset Recall: In Preset mode the matrix allows you to recall any of 256 presets at the touch of a button.
True Analog Effects.
To enhance your sonic pleasure we have added an analog and Delay/ Chorus/ Flanger to the output. Choose from any of 5 operation modes. And YES! the controls in the analog effects can be set as modulation destinations in the Matrix.
Sequencer/Arpeggiator controls
The sequencer and arpeggiator add to the playability of the
Matrixbrute
. Multiple modes of both the
seq
and
arp
allow for unlimited musical ideas to be realized.
Keyboard
The 49 note keyboard features both velocity and aftertouch for a musical feel with plenty of
expression
.
Master Audio Outputs:
Stereo ¼” jacks for your master audio outputs.
Control Voltage Interfacing:
12 CV Inputs and 12 CV Outputs allow the
Matrixbrute
to interface with your standard 1V per octave modular synth gear.
Audio Input:
Line and instrument levels allow for adding an external oscillator from your favorite modular synth or processing a guitar or bass through the filters,
VCA
and analog effects.
Gate I/O:
The Gate inputs and outputs allow you to trigger external gear or trigger the internal envelopes remotely.
Sync in and out
This allows you to synchronize the MatrixBrute’s sequencer and
arpeggiator
with external devices.
Pedal Inputs
Expression and Sustain pedal inputs give you real-time control to expand
on
your expressive capabilities control.
MIDI Interfacing
Standard MIDI in, out and thru will connect you to both modern and vintage gear alike.
USB
USB I/O allows you to interface to a computer DAW directly. This is also the link to use our free editor/librarian software provided for the MatrixBrute.
