====== Arturia Matrixbrute ======

===== Guide =====
I'm still learning a lot about synths, and here're some notes on Matrixbrute things (that are probably obvious to people more experienced).

==== Instrument input ====
The Matrixbrute can use an instrument as input, effectively using that as an oscillator, which you can then apply filters to. To do so:

  - Plug the cord straight from the instrument (for example a guitar) into the 'Audio Input' port on top.
  - Switch 'Input Type' that's next to it to 'Inst.'
  - Pop-out the 'Input Gain' knob next to that and turn it (counter-clockwise) all the way up.
  - Switch 'Audio Gate' to 'Off' (todo: try it set to 'On'!)
  - Now on the front, in the 'Mixer' section make sure the bottom 'External' knob is turned up, and that the filter is on.
  - In the 'Play Control' section between the wheels and the keyboard press 'Key Hold'. The sound will not happen unless a key is held (audio gate might change this?), so turning on 'Key Hold' and pressing a key is an easy way to have it on constantly. If you don't want that skip this step!
  - Mess with the filters to make it sound interesting!

Found this thread with some more detail: https://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=90942.0

This guy shows and explains how to do it really clearly, includes lots of mod matrix uee:

==== Sequencer ====
The sequencer (and the related arpeggiator) on this thing are amazing. My next project for this page is to write more about them.
