If there had been YouTube between the 9th and the first half of the 20th century, there could have certainly been reviews about the different incarnations of organs, albeit rather every 50-100 years instead of every other week.

And I could have lived with a YouTube demo or two every 50-100 years!

It would certainly be good for some people's wallets, but bad for business.

We're getting way off topic though, so everybody back in line for MatrixBrute-related discussions only. I did split the "future classics" discussion off to a new thread.

(After all of that sophisticated discussion) I think I like the MatrixBrute. It has a lot of flexibility without having to break out the patch cables. The price is pretty reasonable (compared to the Moog Sub 37 and the Pro 2) and being able to choose between the Steiner Parker and ladder filters is pretty great.

Guess what's arriving tomorrow?

Sacred Synthesis · « **Reply #124 on:** January 27, 2017, 02:03:51 PM »

Congratulations. Surely you'll demo and comment on it.

BobTheDog · « **Reply #125 on:** January 27, 2017, 02:16:58 PM »

Plenty of comments, some sound clips but no video

I'm really excited to hear your impressions of it. Looks like this crazy sound playground that one could get lost in for hours. It's everything I like about the Dave Smith synths -- hands on control, and powerful architectures.

It's arrived, sitting on table waiting to get it up to room temp, very cold after being in the van.

Nice touches, inlayed metal Arturia sign and milled metal Mod and Pitch:

And the bad bits, case around screen is damaged and bar above keyboard is scratched.

Nice track all done on MatrixBrute:

The back panel looks awesome - and it's quite clever of them to use the matrix buttons for patch selection!

It's growing on me. I'd love a more in depth demo from Mark Doty or something exploring all the features.

My favorite synth reviewer did a 30 minute review:
Now waiting for the English subtitles

But if BogTheDog wants to write about his early impressions I'd be all ears (or eyes?).

I love this synth, you can get some mad stuff out of it.

Here is a clip with Osc 1 going through filter 1&2, osc 2 going through filter 2, osc 3 going through filter 1 and some noise through filter 2.

LFO 1 is modulating filter 1 and LFO2.
LFO 2 is modulating filter 1, LFO1, noise level and OSC 3.
LFO 3 is modulating LFO1, LFO2 and OSC3.

Mod wheel modulating the filters, noise level, LFOs and OSC 3 tuning.

I'm a terrible keyboard player but I like the sound of it:

Nice patch and great modulations! It definitely has character. Did you find a solution for the scratched parts?

BobTheDog · « **Reply #137 on:** February 14, 2017, 08:18:26 AM »

Yeah, they offered a replacement when they have stock in march.

This week though I contacted them and said I would keep this one, I have got attached to it!

Paul Dither · « **Reply #138 on:** February 14, 2017, 08:24:21 AM »

Ah, okay. How do you like the effects so far?

BobTheDog · « **Reply #139 on:** February 14, 2017, 09:43:21 AM »

The effects are poor, not good for much apart from the fact they can be modulated.

I'm not a fan of the delays on the P12/P2 but they are better than the MatrixBrutes.
