Arturia Matrixbrute I dreamed of it, now it's a reality: I purchased a Matrixbrute from Arturia. Used of course, as nearly all my instruments, but in a glorious state, still in its original box. First of all, the case is solid, with luxurious material: plain wood and aluminium. I love the aluminium wheels! The front panel raises à la Minimoog or Waldorf Wave. Four positions, the most vertical one is angled like a MS20. Yep! I compared side to side! The back panel is impressive: stereo output, input, 3 MIDI, USB, 3 pedals, tons of CV in & out, gate in & out, sync in & out, nothing is missing. The headphone socket is on the front panel, which is the place all the headphone sockets should reside. For a so powerful machine, it is really easy to use - as far as you know a minimum in analog synthesis, of course. The overall layout is neat and familiar: one button per function. The knobs are the same as on the other members of the brute family: grey with a white line ...
Parce que j'aime bien la musique. Parce que je trouve bien les instruments. Parce qu'il y a beaucoup de boutons. Et que j'aimerais bien jouer du piano.
