User Manual

One of the main features in the MatrixBrute is... its Matrix (hence the name). This is
an electronic modulation-routing patchbay, so everything that could be a source can be
routed to any and all possible destination parameters. Some modulation sources you move
physically, such as the modulation wheel; others can either run freely or lock to the internal
sequencer's clock. Or they can lock to MIDI.
Triggers from the 4-octave keyboard and the sequencer/arpeggiator - as well as incoming
MIDI notes - could also be considered modifiers when they're doing more than just playing
notes.
The final module in the MatrixBrute's audio path is an analog effects section, and the output
levels and master tuning are separate from the synthesis engine.
Throughout an analog synthesizer, frequencies are controlled by voltage. MatrixBrute uses
1V per octave, so for example from C3 to C4 is a 1V increase, and from C3 to F#3 is a 0.5V
increase.
3.2. Initializing a Preset
To create your own sound from scratch, begin by initializing a preset. This will create a
simple sound with no modulation routings that will allow you to quickly build up your sound.
To do the initialization: Panel + Preset.
