With some things you fall in love instantly, some are love & hate kind of affair, and then there are Brutes for me, which I have never had a honeymoon period with. Ultimately, I would pick the MOOG square over the brute square any day, waveforms on Arturia synths just aren’t very musical: they may be mathematically correct and contain the “right” ratio of odd harmonics or what have you, but there must be something else to them for me to find them likeable. But after having a row of eurorack, my impression of the brute was: the league it belongs to is, like, COMPLETELY different - take a counterpart for its every function (osc, vcf, lfo, adsr) in euro, and it’ll turn into something those will wipe the floor with - and no, it’s not the price consideration even, because the Matrixbrute has the same tone to it. I am not really trying to piss in Arturia’s - or anyone’s - cornflakes, I know many people use these synths & like them, but I just can’t get over myself: in my opinion raw tone of oscillators is absolutely the worst I’ve heard in analog world (maybe some super-budget 70s 1-osc synths aside), and stuff like ADSR curves or filter resonance calibration are bugging me just as much.įor someone just starting with analog synths, it still is probably going to be a moment of their life: pressing a key and hearing all this raw analog sound is an experience like no other + the full modular architecture for this kind of money is great, education-wise even. Notice this: when he holds a note for a couple seconds, it just sounds like annoying buzz, there is no subtle phase shift or drift, and together with overall thin & nasal quality to them, it just doesn’t sound like big fat cloud of enormous lovely drone some oscillators can produce without ANY modulation whatsoever (e.g compare something like AJH Synth VCO or Buchla 158/258 to this). Plus harmonic content of waveforms makes them sound displeasing, as far as my preferences go. As much as I would like to love this, the problem with every brute from $3H to $2K is they use the same vco core & circuitry: I looked through the whole loopop video to confirm, and oscillators sound as static & lifeless as they always were.
