It resembles paper with typewriter lettering but it’s used only as a reference for the four user- assignable slots in the matrix. Perhaps the most mysterious feature is the ‘E-Ink’ screen which remains ‘on’ even when the MB is powered down. Sequencer modes include swing, variable gate, forwards, backwards, forwards/ backwards and random. It’s an absolute ball using key trigger to start and transpose sequences (and a great compositional tool too), plus the sequencer sends/receives CV/Gate and MIDI. You can then add accents, glides and modulation per-step. Seq mode turns the Matrix into a 64-step sequencer (add steps manually or record on the fly). It’s all very easy to use and you can work methodically thinking out your modulations carefully, or drag your hand across the buttons/turn the dial and see what happens! There are also four user modulation slots that can be set by holding any user mod-slot button and moving a front panel control to assign. Preset lets you use the 256 buttons as patch select buttons for the 256 writable preset slots (and 256 writable sequencer slots/patterns which can be linked/unlinked to/from patches) and Mod mode lets you set modulation routings - simply pick from the 16 sources on the left and select a destination at the top (set up to 16 destinations per source!). It has a high-quality feel with a positive action that beds out softly, yet can be played fast - the aftertouch response is also spot on. Boasting a complete MIDI, CV and USB connectivity, MiniBrute is right at home with your computer or your vintage synths, making it the ideal companion to deliver a pure analog blast anywhere you go.Finally, we have to sing the praises of 4-octave velocity and aftertouch enabled semi-weighted keybed. Its 100% analog audio signal path features a VCO wave mixer, the classic Steiner-Parker multimode filter, as well as numerous analog innovations such as the Metalizer, Ultrasaw, and the Brute Factor™. Featuring a pure analog signal path and a host of unique features, it sets a new standard for what a hardware synthesizer should be. MiniBrute is a revolutionary new analog synthesizer from Arturia.
