The Tolex Voyager XL is supposedly “limited edition” - I quite like it although most prefer the “classic” look on the XL with the wood. It is, definitely no “risk” at all, if you can afford it. ARTURIA MATRIXBRUTE . Playing leads on the Voyager over sequenced patterns while its filter is being modulated by clock-synced CVs and it’s being processed by a clock-synced complex delay on the H9 is a joy! My experience is opposite as well. Unfortunately the Matrixbrute allows only osc3 to modulate audio-FM directly, but osc3 is limited to the standard waveshapes. I'm new to Moog and the Voyager EB so not sure how to fix is problem. thanks for the insights pulsn. A real Brute, with 2 VCOs, 2 LFOs, Steiner-VCF, sequencer / arpeggiator and a respectable modulation matrix (CV-panel). It also makes a difference, if an osc in sync mode can change it’s waveshape smoothly. "Syncing the sequencer on the Sequential Pro 3 to an Arturia MatrixBrute arpeggiator, a Moog MF-101 Low Pass Filter processes a Pro 3 oscillator output through a CV out. I disagree with the Moog having a far better built quality. The Voyager is the only analogue synth in my studio, which can do this and it delivers amazing sounds. Also considered a couple of Mother32’s but I am quite impressed with the Behringer demos, though its still not available here yet. Hopefully thats possible on the MatrixBrute also. Packed with lots of new features and functions, including a massively expanded modulation matrix, new sequencer capabilities, custom LFO shaping, and a variety of other improvements to interface, and routing. This manual covers the features and operation of Arturia’s MatrixBrute. Moog Subsequent 37. Maybe the reason is that both have been designed by the same person, who is Axel Hartmann. I found a good deal on a 2nd hand, going to check the specs a bit more in-depth, So I finally found a great deal on a secondhand Matrixbrute. I know that both have slightly limited cv routings, but I don’t really do eurorack so its not a deal breaker. What about the Mother 32? For me the combination of the Brute-Factor and the Drive is enough and we have the option to modulate both via the Matrix. The sweet spots were too few and too narrow. Its look and the sheer number of controls on its front panel makes my prized Moog Voyager look a touch vanilla, by comparison. that you can't get on the MxB. The Moog Subsequent 25 appears to be a compact, less expensive option than the popular Subsequent 37. Qty: Add to Cart. Can use the mod matrix as a cv mixer with patch storage. Offering a audiosignal path that is is 100% analog, MatrixBrute also features true analog effects. It has some Moogy character but it’s its own thing (an asset, not a downside). But the filters section is a bit of a letdown, the filters aren't too character full, they just subtract from the sound rather than add, there's the brute factor but that goes into unpredictable squeezing character pretty fast. Description Arturia MatrixBrute Analog Avant-Garde. At the 2016 NAMM Show, Arturia introduced the MaxiBrute synthesizer.. MatrixBrute is an analog synthesizer that redefines a class of performance and studio synths that has not been matched since the glory days of the 70’s and 80’s. No, I havn’t … there was no reason until now. Electronic Music Instruments and Electronic Music Production, JD-XA or MatrixBrute to compliment my OB-6. (For that there’s Monark.) One issue that really annoys me since the first day, is the long time it takes, to switch patches. MatrixBrute has a lot more out front for modulation matrix (ergo the name), as well as sequencing.Though, to put it simply and even if Arturia made a great synth, I wouldn't be sold on reliability and all of that until a year out or so. Can’t believe I am comparing top of the range Moog with Arturia, but there it is. Also more importantly, don’t have space for a room full of keyboards again. Alex pops in to give us an in-depth demo of the Arturia MatrixBrute analogue synthesizerFor more info please visit - http://po.st/BRUTEMATRIX Arturia’s recent firmware update for the MatrtixBrute opens the door to new sequencing capabilities. I am especially interested in anyone’s opinion who has owned/used/tried both. I preferred the Matrixbrute Sound and filters to the sub37. The matrix concept of the Matrixbrute is very handy and versatile. I have noticed the brute factor seemed smoother on the Mbrute than the times I have messed with the mini brute. I am conscious of the sub37 having some advancements on the Voyager, especially around the overdrive among other things, but I am kinda fixated on a 3 oscillator mono synth, with lfo options on the 3rd osc. I don’t often have these issues with versus battles but I am struggling to decide between the two and I am not usually lashing on such big instrument purchases. Yes the build quality. That tells a bit of quality. I know about hardware issues of Arturia, but as far as I can compare the Voyager and the Matrixbrute, I would say, both have a sufficiently good built quality. It has a lot of options and flexibility, and the oscs sound quite nice. Filter 2 is a modified Moog-style ladder filter that retains low-end at high resonance settings. Matrixbrute is way better for patching and eurorack imo. Because I just chucked it in the back of my car and drove it down to HHB Communications (that do all the repairs/mods/etc for Moog in the UK). Adding a Boog is not necessary btw. For one Voyager knob you can get twenty arturia rubber knobs. It’s a good, rock solid, and lasting quality. Developed this idea about a Voyager XL combined with a Behringer Model D for 6osc noise walls, The Tolex? The interface of the Voyager is great and fun to use. Hey have you ever patched the two synths together? Anyway the voyager is selling quite cheap (relatively) so it’s not a big difference price wise between the two. Obviously the MxB has more oscillators and LFOs that the Sub37 just doesn't have. The Arturia MatrixBrute – a high-quality and flexible analog synthesizer – will be more expensive as of July 1st 2018. Yep… I have considered the Dominion… but I don’t see it available to test or buy anywhere in Australia. Advantages? I wouldn’t call it limited … it’s the way Moog designed it and the routing of the phones-out to the external-in is as old as the Minimoog Model-D itself. 1. I got the sub phatty and didn't love the sound of it and its the same sound engine. It looks like the Moog Voyager's cooler sibling. • One IEC AC power cord. I wonder if there was an issue with the one you tried. From dialogue with some other Voyager owners the problem it seems is more than likeky down to the previously reported Voyager Texas Instrument chip problem. Possibly worth the ‘risk’ (is that the right word?) Thank you for purchasing the Arturia MatrixBrute! I like my audio-FM patches on the Voyager a bit more than on the Matrixbrute. The Matrix is more versatile I think. Valid suggestion. but I have been watching a lot of Matrixbrute tv and its got quite a bit going on that the Voyager doesn’t. Does anyone know if you can download the full Voyager preset banks aware. Metal Pitch and Mod wheels are adjacent to the key bed and feel great to tweak.
