I see there's an old pre-release thread for the Matrixbrute in the Dialog forum, but figured I'd start a new one here. I recently sold my Pro 3 and ended up buying a Matrixbrute on a whim when they were selling for $1,299 on Black Friday. The Pro 3 is a cool synth but for some reason I just wasn't c...

For the US folks (if there are any here?), ProAudioStar has Matrixbrutes for $1,299.

It's a bit spendy, but my Oto BAM is absolute magic on drums in particular.

Some initial thoughts: This is definitely amazing synth -- definitely a top contender for "One Mono to Rule Them All." It sounds as good at vanilla mono sounds i.e. basses, leads, etc, as you'd expect a synth in this price category to, but of course it can go far, far deeper very easily. The modulat...

Resurrecting this thread as I have one coming in the mail tomorrow. I was a hair's breadth from getting a Dom 1 as a core mono synth, but happened to take another look at the Pro 3 first and knew instantly that it was the one I needed to go for (I hadn't realized previously that it was VCO-based rat...

Thanks y'all. Happened to find this SC demo with suitable resonance-cranking, and it does have the quality I prefer :D Now I just have to decide whether to sell the pieces I'd need to in order to pick up a D1 (I'd probably have to let go of my Oto effects, which I am loathe to, but for pure studio u...

Follow up question: does the filter resonance have gain compensation? E.g., on my Moog w/ it's classic ladder filter, cranking the resonance causes the overall volume to drop (which I am not especially fond of).

Well, I'm having a hard look at the D1 again recently. Since picking up an OB-6 last month to go with my Moog Grandmother, I'm reminded how vastly more productive I am on physical synths with preset capabilities. I'd have to replace the Moog and some external FX to do it, but it's sitting hard on my...

My partner and I are 100% committed to permanently emigrating as soon as we can manage it -- hopefully in the next 2 years or so. I have no clue what the situation here is going to devolve into between now and then, though. America is simply a shit show. Other countries absolutely have their issues,...

I feel like I've been doing the same things I always have and I don't like how it sounds and I don't know what else to do.

(seriously, this is worth a watch. Entertaining and informative.)

Just finished the FF7 Remake over the weekend and it was amazing. If you're vehemently opposed to JRPGs and/or have no emotional/nostalgic investment in the OG from 1997, it probably won't do anything for you. But god damn it was good.

For me right now it's the Moog Grandmother. A fully-fledged mono with timeliness sound, a straightforward/playable UI, and classic step sequencer -- basically a modern SH-101 with an extra oscillator. To be honest, I didn't think much about it when it was first announced, because on the surface it j...

Yes, the real crux is that I'm very lukewarm on the sound of its analogue engines. It's a question of how much utility I'm getting out of using it as a pure sample-based groovebox and whether the money tied up in it could be reinvested into something which I'd get more productive use out of.

True, I could be utilizing OB to stream channels straight into Ableton.

Feeling on the fence again about my AR MKII. I bought it last year to replace my TR-8s in my live setup, as I wanted a machine that could go a bit further sequencer-wise and with one-shot samples. But due to both covid as well as some personal philosophical changes, playing live is indefinitely off ...

Just to confirm with you owners: it looks as though there are _not_ individual VCO outputs on the D1 -- is that right? correct, mixed mono master out Thanks. That rules it out for me right now as a main-mono, since I'm running a triangle out from the Moog to a wavefolding module (then returning it ...

This thread is making me sweat. I really love my Moog G'ma as my desert-island mono, but y'all have me giving side glances to the D1 now.

Just to confirm with you owners: it looks as though there are _not_ individual VCO outputs on the D1 -- is that right?

Musically: I've been shifting away from styles which, for lack of a better term, might be described as "psychadelic," and am returning to stuff that's more imaginative/evocative. More focus on the mind and less on the dancefloor (though that doesn't mean it can't also bump 8-) ). There's an old RBMA...

My dad had a Korg M1 in the early 90s when they were the shiny new thing. He wasn't really a musician, more a hobbyist with a toy. As a young kid in the 6-10 age range, playing those weird-ass early 90s rompler sounds with the pitch bend wheel probably had a lot of impact on my sonic development.
