ARTURIA MATRIXBRUTE: Analogue Synthesizer

摘要

I've enjoyed an extended love affair over several years with Arturias MiniBrute. It remains a staple in my rig for deep growling basses, searing leads and intricate arpeggiator mayhem. While it's a substantial synthesizer for the money, this particular fan-boy dreamt of a grander affair -- a grown-up iteration of the MiniBrute with more keys, patch memories, external MIDI control of all parameters, a second LFO, extended modulation matrix, and effects. Rolling forth to 2017, it would appear Arturia not only read my mind but expanded my dream 'Brute by including a step sequencer, classier cosmetics, solid build quality, an ergonomic tilting front panel, a third envelope, a third LFO, and paraphonic VCO assignment.
