Arturia Microbrute - new analog Synthesizer - Demo

Published on Oct 24, 2013 MrSynthmania·21 videos

"Some sounds taken from Arturia´s new baby - the MicroBrute. A very tiny 100% analog synthesizer with the same sound like his big brother MiniBrute. There are several new features like the Stepsequenzer and the Patchfield with CV for some Modulations. The very good sounding Steiner-Parker-Filter with HP, BP and LP is also present. The MicroBrute is the perfect complement to his Big Brother or a Modular-System. More info at:

"1972 - Le légendaire EMS Synthi A K(eyboard) S(equencer) en action dans les non moins légendaires studios EMI d’Abbey Road (Londres), dans les mains du vénérable Roger Waters.

Ce dernier semble conquis par ce bijou technologique à l’allure de jouet, présenté dans une petite valise en plastoc, avec son clavier à surface tactile bleu et noir, ses boutons rotatifs en bakélite, ses switches aux couleurs vives, et sa matrice d’interconnections façon « touché-coulé ». Malgré son apparence inoffensive il s’avère assez redoutable à programmer et surtout génère des sons à vous retourner les entrailles. De plaisir.

Dans ce court extrait tiré du somptueux Live at Pompeii (version Director’s Cut) Roger et David (Gilmour) évoquent les technologies, l’évolution de la musique et les possibilités offertes par l’électronique. Ils conviennent que pour faire vivre ces engins il est nécessaire d’avoir la soul, la vibe, l’univers cérébral adapté qui seuls peuvent dompter la machine. Et non l'inverse.

L’extrait se termine sur un rush du très électronique « On The Run » figurant sur l’album Dark Side Of The Moon.

The latter seems captivated by this technological jewel at the pace of games, presented in a small suitcase in plastoc, with its keyboard surface touch blue and black, rotary bakelite buttons, switches its vivid color and its matrix of interconnections a "hit-cast." Despite his seemingly harmless it is quite daunting to program and especially generates sounds to you return the entrails. From pleasure.

In this short excerpt taken from the sumptuous Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut) Roger and David (Gilmour), evoke technologies, the development of music and opportunities offered by electronics. They agree that to sustain these devices must have the soul, the vibe, the universe adapted brain which alone can tame the machine. And not vice versa.

MT25d DIY Synth Making of the Monotribe Multiple Mod Feat Volca Keys

Published on Apr 23, 2014 Arrayzable·23 videos

"Here are some more pictures and video bits of the making of my DIY MT25d - Monotribe synth.
It features a new live played track called MONOFUNKALIZE with assistance from a very polyfunky sequenced Volca Keys. The Keys audio is going through the Monotribe filter, so the sound of the Volca Keys is only audible when notes are being played on the MT25d

I'm not all satisfied with the sound quality, so I'll have to look into my work method.

Have fun watching!

McBass 23 - Analog Synthesizer - One of 5 From the 90s

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
This one spotted by swissdoc. It's currently for sale here. This is the first one featured on MATRIXSYNTH. Curious if this was someone's DIY synth or if it was an actual product.

Update: Slightly larger pics added.  Turns out the brand is Tunefisch Clone or Tunefish Clone. Some additional info from swissdoc:

"The synth is labeled Tunefisch Clone (Tunfish Clone). There has been a German electrical engineer living close to Hannover who built a few synths in the 1990s

The following is the description for the item in German followed by a Googlish translation:

"Verkaufe von privat diesen seltenen Synthesizer. Abholung oder Versand möglich. Einer von 5 stk je gebauten Exemplaren soweit ich weiss. Funktionieren tut er natürlich! 3 original Potikappen sind mir abhanden gekommen. Ich liefere 3 Ersatzkappen für die VCO Lautstärke Potis mit.

Der McBass wurde in den 90er Jahren gebaut, hat 2 VCOs + Noise, 2 LFOs welche weit in den Audiobreich reichen ( somit ist auch obertonreiche Filter FM möglich ), Pulseweitemodulation, Filter Accent, Audioeingang, Midi... und so weiter. wirklich ein gutklingedes Gerät was mir sehr lange Freude bereitet hat. Ich würde ihn jetzt vielleicht irgendwo zwischen Pro-One, Minimoog und 303 Nachbau einordnen - aber am besten selbst mal antesten. Verkaufe ihn aus finanziellen Gründen.

bitte sendet mir eine Nachricht, falls Interesse besteht, oder Ihr Fragen habt.
( Der McBass steht so lange bei Ebay KA bis er verkauft wurde. )"

Googlish:

"Sell by owner this rare synthesizer. Pick-up or shipping. One of 5 pcs per units had been built as far as I know. Work he does, of course! 3 original Potikappen have gone astray. I supply with 3 replacement caps for the VCO volume pots.

The McBass was built in the 90s, has 2 VCO + Noise, 2 LFOs that far into the Audiobreich rich (thus also possible overtones Filter FM), pulse width modulation, filter Accent, Audio, Midi ... and so on. gutklingedes really a device which has given me much joy. I would now might place him somewhere between Pro-One, Minimoog and 303 replica - but best antesten even times. Sell it for financial reasons.

please send me a message if you are interested or you have any questions.
(The McBass is so long was sold on Ebay KA to him.)"

Arturia Introduces the MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer

Arturia presents MatrixBrute, analog avant-garde

Uploaded on Jan 21, 2016 Arturia Web

"MatrixBrute is arguably the most powerful analog monophonic synthesizer ever ! As flexible as a modular system but offering presets, MatrixBrute is a dream machine for everyone interested in creating a sound palette of their own."

"Arturia ushers in analogue avant-garde era with massive-sounding MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware developer Arturia is proud to introduce its innovative MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer — set to reset the benchmark by going down in history as arguably the most powerful analogue synthesizer ever created — at The NAMM Show 2016, January 21-24 in Anaheim, California, USA...

When was the last time your heart started racing at the thought of making music? How long has it been since you heard sounds that were entirely new? When did you last find an instrument that truly inspired you? Arturia actively posed such challenging questions to itself when readily rising to the challenge of designing the MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer. So here’s the answer: an astonishing programmable monophonic/duophonic analogue synthesizer set to start your heart racing and serve up entirely new sounds as a truly inspirational instrument... meet MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer! As a massive-sounding and highly-specified beast of analogue avant-garde-era synth technology, it is fit for reaching the outer limits of truly 21st Century sonic exploration, thanks to the trademark sound of its three ‘Brute’ oscillators, superb-sounding Steiner-Parker and ladder filters, three ultra-fast envelope generators, amazing analogue effects, and — the pièce de résistance — its incredible modulation matrix. Modular... without the painful patching practice of going modular, in other words!

What makes the massive-sounding MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer so state-of-the-art, then? Matrix by name, matrix by nature, that namesake modulation matrix is at the heart of MatrixBrute, making the most of each ‘module’ through a matrix that offers thousands of potential modulation routings. Assign any of 16 modulation sources to any of 16 modulation destinations (in MOD mode) and set the amounts of each modulation routing using the dedicated data encoder; four such destinations are user programmable and can clearly be seen in the eye-catching E Ink (Electronic Ink) display. Don’t be afraid to invent a sound palette of your own and make your musical mark!

That multifaceted matrix also allows presets to be recalled quite literally at the touch of a (dedicated) button (in PRESET mode). Go grab one of the 256 pioneering, pre-programmed professional presets or recall one of your own original sound creations... instantly! Indeed, MatrixBrute packs the power of a modular synth system with an all-important ability to save each patch. No need to worry about recording a sound straight away for fear of losing it forever!

Furthermore, the matrix can also be pressed into action as an awesome 64-step sequencer with separate STEP, ACCENT, SLIDE, and MODULATION options (in SEQ mode). Make musical moves directly on your analogue synthesizer. Sounds can evolve in melody and texture... exactly the way you want them to!

To help maintain a 100% analogue signal path, MatrixBrute also adds true ANALOG EFFECTS to its stereo output — choose from chorus, delay, and flanger with five operational modes... and, yes, any ANALOG EFFECTS controls can be set as modulation destinations in the matrix! When was the last time you worked with analogue effects and a great arpeggiator? Ask no more. MatrixBrute has got you well and truly covered. Multiple modes of both the Arpeggiator and Sequencer allow almost unlimited musical ideas to quickly and easily flow forth for instant inspiration!

It’s a given that any analogue synthesizer only sounds as good as its VCFs (Voltage-Controlled Filters) and VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators). The MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer sounds superb, markedly making the most of its four-mode STEINER FILTER (upgraded to support both 12dB/oct and 24dB/ oct slopes alongside a dedicated Drive control for creating thicker sounds) and three-mode LADDER FILTER (known for creating punchy bass and fat lead sounds with 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct slopes alongside another dedicated Drive control). The three VCOs are each equipped with a sub-oscillator as well as Saw, Pulse, and Triangle waveforms with the unique wave-shapers that are the trademark of the beloved ‘Brute’ sound of the MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer’s smaller siblings, the award-winning and amazingly compact and bijou MiniBrute and MicroBrute monosynths (both boasting MIDI, USB, and CV connectivity together with a host of unique features). But by pairing a 49-note (full-size) keyboard (featuring both velocity-sensitivity and aftertouch for a musical feel with plenty of expression) with a beautifully-designed, solid chassis (featuring a helpfully-hinged, hands-on capacious control panel), the road-ready MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer is both bigger and better, boasting more connections than an airport... well, almost!

As such, you can comfortably work with any setup — cue control voltage interfacing in abundance (12 CV inputs and 12 CV outputs to interface with any standard 1V/oct modular gear); AUDIO IN (line and instrument levels allow for adding an external oscillator from a favourite modular synth or processing a guitar or other instrument through the filters, VCA, and analogue effects); GATE In and Out (to trigger external gear or trigger the internal envelopes remotely); SYNC In and Out (to synchronise the internal sequencer and arpeggiator with external devices); standard MIDI In, Out, and Thru (to connect to both modern and vintage gear alike); USB I/O (to interface to a computer-based DAW directly and also use the free editor/librarian software); and PEDALS (Expression 1, Expression 2, and Sustain inputs to provide realtime control) — not forgetting, of course, MASTER OUT (stereo master outputs on 1/4-inch jacks).

As a phenomenal source of inspiration and a truly empowering instrument, MatrixBrute is easy to understand. Forget drop-down menus and dual- function controls. Forget connectivity issues. Forget imitations. This is you in control. This is you inventing sounds. This is analogue avant-garde!

The MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer will be being showcased on Arturia’s booth (#6920) in Hall A at The NAMM Show 2016, January 21-24 in Anaheim, California. Come check it out!

The MatrixBrute Analog Synthesizer is expected to ship in Spring 2016 when it will be available to buy directly from Arturia online or through the company’s global network of dealers and retailers.
