Arturia MatrixBrute Noir is an extremely versatile analog synthesizer, equipped with three Brute oscillators, two output filters, five analog effects, and a vast modulation matrix. It combines the flexibility of an analog modular system with the comfort of digital control, resulting in a true sound design machine. MatrixBrute Noir is an elegant Black edition of the popular MatrixBrute.
Analog sound, digital brain MatrixBrute Noir offers the best features from both worlds: 100% analog sound creation and shaping, alongside complete digital mapping and preset storage. You will feel immediately at ease at the MatrixBrute control panel, having access to Arturia's specific waveforms – sawtooth, square, and triangle – plus unique Brute processing. MatrixBrute Noir includes two excellent filters: Steiner-Parker with a rich character and a ladder filter inspired by the famous design of Bob Moog.
The power of the matrix The possibilities become nearly infinite once you integrate the modulation matrix. It allows you to virtually patch hundreds of points, opening unexpected sonic pathways. The matrix has multiple functions: it saves and recalls presets and operates as an advanced step sequencer.
The magic of macros With so many buttons and control parameters, you might think two hands are not enough. Fortunately, MatrixBrute Noir includes 4 macro encoders that allow you to group multiple parameters into a single button, giving you total control during performance.
Expressive keyboard The 49 full-size keys, velocity-sensitive and with aftertouch, provide expressive performance. The analog effects section adds brilliance and character to the sound, keeping everything in the analog domain for added depth. Enrich the pads with a stereo chorus, add spaciousness and rhythm with mono and stereo delays, a classic vintage flanger, and a touch of reverb for finishing.
Stage-ready design With instant recall of presets, MatrixBrute invites you to innovate in real-time. Choose from an extensive sound palette, with up to 256 storable presets, and embark on a sonic journey. Together with the arpeggiator and powerful sequencer, you can evolve harmonies and textures with profound power and originality.
