Introduction
Welcome to version 2.0 of the Arturia MatrixBrute!
MatrixBrute rocked the synthesizer world with its introduction in 2016. Never before had a portable
analog synthesizer offered so much power and performance in such an affordable package. And
now with the release of the version 2.0 firmware, Arturia adds a host of new features to the
already impressive feature set of the MatrixBrute.
We developed these features in response to the requests you made. But honestly, there's a lot of
overlap between your dreams for this instrument and the fantasies of our own synth-obsessed
engineers! We're all in this together.
Here's a brief summary of the new features:
• Compare/preview presets before saving an edited patch
• Four times as many custom mod routes per patch
• Enhanced editing of sequences
◦

◦
◦
• Custom LFO waveform drawing
• New LFO rate subdivisions (triplet and dotted)
• Edit MIDI Control Center settings from the front panel
• Independent glide per zone in Duo-Split mode
The purpose of this document is to introduce these new features and explain how to use them. For
a comprehensive description of all features, both old and new, please download the version 2.0
manual from the Arturia
And while you're there, check for firmware updates! We're always honing our craft, and there may
be additional features or fixes that you won't want to miss. Of course, if you download the MIDI
Control Center application from the website, it will let you know about firmware updates whenever
you use it.
We hope you'll be as excited about these new features as we are. They further reveal the
wondrous beast that lurks behind the front panel of the MatrixBrute. Let it loose!
Musically yours,
The Arturia team
