It resembles paper with typewriter lettering but it’s used only as a reference for the four user- assignable slots in the matrix.
Perhaps the most mysterious feature is the ‘E-Ink’ screen which remains ‘on’ even when the MB is powered down. Sequencer modes include swing, variable gate, forwards, backwards, forwards/ backwards and random. It’s an absolute ball using key trigger to start and transpose sequences (and a great compositional tool too), plus the sequencer sends/receives CV/Gate and MIDI. You can then add accents, glides and modulation per-step. Seq mode turns the Matrix into a 64-step sequencer (add steps manually or record on the fly).
It’s all very easy to use and you can work methodically thinking out your modulations carefully, or drag your hand across the buttons/turn the dial and see what happens! There are also four user modulation slots that can be set by holding any user mod-slot button and moving a front panel control to assign. Preset lets you use the 256 buttons as patch select buttons for the 256 writable preset slots (and 256 writable sequencer slots/patterns which can be linked/unlinked to/from patches) and Mod mode lets you set modulation routings - simply pick from the 16 sources on the left and select a destination at the top (set up to 16 destinations per source!). It has a high-quality feel with a positive action that beds out softly, yet can be played fast - the aftertouch response is also spot on. Do I need an external audio device (such as a Focusrite Scarlett), or how have you guys set it up i would like to ask.Īs for my daw I am using Propellerhead Reason 10 which find the midi device and I can record it but as soon as I connect a audio track to it, it says no audio input.Finally, we have to sing the praises of 4-octave velocity and aftertouch enabled semi-weighted keybed. Perhaps I am missing something crucial here. So it records the midi output but it wont record the audio it self for me to play back in my daw even when the matrixbrute is disconnected. Right now I have gotten as far as to record my device's midi, I can play anything on the matrixbrute, even play with the knobs and record it in my daw and then I can press play and it will play my recordings back on the matrixbrute device itself. (Again i am not sure if this is possible but on my other synth (Roland System-1) I can select the device as an audio input within windows/reason).
I am trying to do the following: Record the audio output from my MatrixBrute into my DAW, or into Audacity if that is possible using only the USB cable.
