Arturia MatrixBrute analogue modular synthesizer
General
Arturia's strategy in designing this modular synth was clear: design a matrix that offers thousands of possible routings. To do this, a set of 16 modulation sources can be connected to 16 modulation destinations. Then a data encoder can calculate the number of routings and display this information on the specially developed Electronic ink (E-Ink) screen. It's also possible to use the versatile matrix to recall one of no less than 256 presets and programming and recalling your own presets is possible too, of course.
MatrixBrute: the power of a modular system
Every patch can be saved and stored as a preset meaning that you don't have to play every part right away for fear of losing the settings. You can also choose to work with a 64-step sequencer with separate options for step, accent, slide and modulation. Create music simply directly on the analogue synth with complete freedom. Analogue effects can be added via the stereo outputs which means that your signal will remain fully analogue. There are chorus, delay and flanger effects, each with 5 modes, that can be specified as destinations in the matrix.
Box of tricks
Various modes for the arpeggiator, as well as the sequencer can be applied resulting in a virtually endless range of possibilities. The MatrixBrute makes use of a Steiner Filter that also offers 4 modes and a Ladder Filter for punchy bass and lead sounds. Both filters have been upgraded so that 12 dB/oct and 24 dB/oct slopes can be used. A control for drive lets you enjoy fatter bass sounds than before while the VCF's and VCO's are of superior quality. The 3 VCO's are all equipped with a sub-oscillator and Saw, Pulse and Triangle wave forms with unique wave-shapers. Of course, the MatrixBrute also has audio inputs and connectors for MIDI, USB and CV.

Received this from Bax about two weeks ago ( Dec 2019 ), have a number of other synths from an Electron, Dave Smith, Moog, Novation, Access and Arturia..
As a hands on synth with the ability to easily explore and create some truly incredible sounds I cannot recommend the MatrixBrute enough .. I have literally ignored everything else since getting it.
I got the deal with the flight case, and the case is made very well and is a real bargain !!
However ... put the brute into that case and try and carry it for any distance ( thank god for the wheels ), it is so heavy its not funny ;)
So in conclusion I think this really is the ultimate mono ( with a wee bit of para ) synth on the market .. and with the V2.0 FW update and the draw your own LFO functionality it just keeps getting better..
