I really want to like the Matrixbrute, I want to give myself a reason to buy it, lol ! It _looks_ fantastic, the workflow and recall look amazing, but demo after demo after demo all you get is 90% random dissonant bleepy LFO synth landfill, random constantly changing synth mess . . . it's weird to watch a video about a £2k synth just to hear some glitchy lo-fi sequence I could put together on my £200 reface CS or yet another 2 bar clipped acid sequence with some wild filter sweeping driven by an LFO which itself is being modulated by another LFO . . . but where's the actual music !? Where are the inspirational tracks, if you look up a demo video for the Sub37 you are hit with amazing sounding music, cool leads and deep basses . . . rather than another 10 minutes of what sounds like a broken modem from 1997. I suspect the problem might be that as the Matrixbrute is so powerful and so flexible and you can route anything to anything else, and you can do this so easily, that people are tempted into doing just that, whether it adds anything to the sound or not, why stick with a cool sounding lead when its pitch can be constantly modulated by an LFO that is being driven by the resonance which itself is being driven by a second LFO . . . the result is demo after demo of weird 'laboratory' sounds that leave you thinking this thing is great at glitchy space sound effects, but I'm not sure how it'd help me make actual music.
MAtrixbrute is so awesome. The only thing I would buy over it would be a Baloran The River.
