HI
Hi I am just getting used to the knobs and faders not reflecting there positions
until I move them past a certain point
Bu after watching vids and reading the manual
Am I wrong in thinking that if I press the panel button
I should here a sound made up from the knobs and faders present position
because I don't hear anything
cheers

You are correct.
In "panel mode" you will hear what the physical sliders and buttons are doing.
To troubleshoot your issue, follow the signal path as if it were water in a pipe. Make sure your oscillator is turned up, make sure the oscillator level is up in the mixer section, make sure that you are sending to one or both filters, make sure the filter is open and the filter level is up, make sure your VCA envelope is active and being triggered, and then make sure your master volume is up.
If you're still not getting a sound after being sure it's set correctly, try reinstalling the firmware and try again.
Good luck!

Sound like you have the Hook mode selected for the knobs. Just in case you've not gotten around to checking it out, there are three different modes for how the knobs will react, from the manual:
"The MIDI Control Center software has three modes. In Hook mode you must sweep the knob until it catches its actual position before it has any effect. Jump mode means the voltage jumps to the knob position as soon as you move it; and Scaled mode scales the range of the knob based on the stored value and the physical distance to either extreme".
You can select the knob modes using the MIDI Control Center (https://www.arturia.com/products/matrixbrute/resources).

Many thanks for your answers
I now understand what's going on
Now I have another question
In sequencer mode I read that you can now have real time recording
by pressing the play & record buttons at the same time
but when I play it seems like my recording is still like a normal step recording
or its somehow quantised. is this by design or does real time not mean real time ????
the way I understand it
cheers

It is in real time, but you're stuck with the resolution of the sequencer. It will, however, tie notes for you.
