Mod Matrix; Modulations Sources; Modulation Destinations - Arturia Microbrute User Manual

Mod Matrix

The Mod Matrix allows for patching modulation sources to modulation destinations.
The Jacks are standard 1/8" (3.5mm) mono jacks and all connections hold to the
standard 1V per octave standard that most modern modular synthesizers support.
When you patch a jack into one of the CV Outs, it will break the normal connection.
The Matrix's standard connections are ENV > Metal & LFO > Pitch.
The CV Output should be able to drive 4 Inputs

Modulations Sources

The jacks under CV Out are considered Modulation Sources. These are the Envelope
Out and LFO outputs. One other Modulation source is the Keyboard CV output on
the Rear panel.
They all output a signal that can control external synthesizers or be patched to
Modulation Destinations within the MicroBrute.

Modulation Destinations

The jacks under the CV In section are all inputs. These can also be called Modulation
destinations.
The jacks are:
• Metal – controls the same parameter as the Metalizer knob. The Envelope
output is the default connection to the input. Turning up the Envelope Amount
knob will send the signal to the Metalizer control.
• Saw – this allows patching to the Saw animator of the Ultrasaw. One way to
test this is to patch the LFO Out to the Saw in. Make sure the LFO Amount and
the Ultrasaw Amount and Saw Level are turned up.
• Sub – this allows control over a modulation circuit in the Overtone circuit. It will
allow you to modulate the Overtone waves and create some huge sounds.
Try patching the LFO Out to the Sub in. Make sure the LFO Amount and the
Overtone Level pots are turned up.
