MatrixBrute
To celebrate the launch of its extensive firmware update, we’ve created an exciting new preset bank designed to show off the pure synth power of MatrixBrute, and demonstrate some of its new features.
The patches have been created by resident synth guru and sound designer Victor Morello, Twolegs Toneworks and Anton Anru. Many of the presets use the new custom LFO feature, augmenting things like step sequencers, melodic sequencers, and creating groovy rhythmical shapes. In this preset pack, you’ll find a bit of everything: sequences, bass, arps, paraphonic keys, leads, pads, and a few interesting effects. Every sound have all 4 macros assigned, letting you quickly tweak and perform the key parameters that give each patch its unique character. Rather than creating crazy, “out there” sounds, the three sound designers have focused on designing very playable, and inspiring sounds that will hopefully become some of your “go-to” presets for your upcoming projects. Many of the sounds feature timbres and tones that are unique to the MatrixBrute, showing what sets aside this monstrous instrument from other synths. This isn’t just an update, it’s like discovering a whole new instrument.

Fresh from the imagination of visionary Arturia sound designer Victor Morello comes an exciting new batch of presets for the mighty MatrixBrute.
Victor has been involved in creating factory sounds for the MatrixBrute since its inception, and knows this analog monster inside and out, and pushes its capabilities to create inspiring new sounds for you to enjoy. The 32 patches found in Beyond The Matrix Vol 2 are a great mix of sequences, effects, lead, and bass sounds. All of the sounds are highly expressive, with particular attention paid to velocity and “usability” across the entire keyboard, letting you really dig deep and enjoy the creative process. A collection of sounds that i think represent well where the matrix shine : to be able to create expressive sounds. So they pretty much all respond to velocity and translate well to the entire keyboard. Not only that, but all 4 macros are assigned on every preset, letting you get hands on to bring the sounds to life!

Created by complextro giant Mord Fustang, this chip-tune, super retro preset pack will give you an exciting new sound palette to explore.
The 20 presets in Mario 1985 are all based on the sounds found in Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System, or draw heavy inspiration from other games and platforms of the time. In Mario 1985, you’ll find a bass patch, 6 lead sounds, 4 sequences, and 9 sound effects to use in your own productions, recreate classic game soundtracks, or rework into your own, personal sonic signature. Not only do they sound the part, but through clever patching and sound-design know-how, each patch also displays a retro video game sprite in the light-up mod matrix, so you can be inspired visually as well as sonically. Key parameters of each sound have been mapped out to the mod wheel and macro knobs on the MatrixBrute, giving you fast, hands-on control of the sounds in Mario 1985 without having to dive too deep into the fabric of each patch. A power-up for your MatrixBrute

Diego created the patches for his signature sound pack at the same time as he was working on Haken’s new album.
The Arturia team had already spotted that Diego used an Arturia KeyLab MIDI controller on stage and in the studio, but we really got excited when Haken’s synth mastermind took delivery of a MatrixBrute to work on their upcoming album. We jumped at the chance to ask Tejeida to develop a personalized “signature” set of preset sounds that other MatrixBrute owners around the world could use and enjoy.
