I'm setting up a new thread for people to demand a timeframe for when we will get our Matrixbrute. Namm is now over so it should be full steam ahead,well I'm hoping,for arturia to send out the back orders of the MB.
So what I'm asking for is an honest date when we will get our orders.
I live in the UK and I just want to know when another batch of MB will be hitting these shores. It's not alot to ask for!
I just want to know because if it's going to be like half a year I want a refund.
Thanks :)
-
It will be some time this year. :P
I must say I've lost hope now. I don't see any chance of getting one soon.
I feel quite dejected and feel like a kid arriving at the show where the doors have closed.
Some orders clearly have priority over others. I think my order is firmly in the group defined by "we don't care if you get a MatrixBrute or not as plenty of people will take your cancellation"
-
I feel used by arturia. I know that I won't get mine for a long time even tho I ordered it 10 months ago. I think they would of sold so many more units at namm and I have a funny feeling they will get theirs before they even think about the pre orders from last year.
So I'm going to moan on this forum till arturia tell me a date when I'll get mine :) if it is too long away I'll buy something else. A synth you can play is better then one you can only dream about.
-
Glen:), have faith, yours will come , Dawsons have a delivery and they have your order.
Remember that Arturia did not get your deposit money so they have a different agenda to order fulfilment
Contact Dawsons to push them.
By the way I did not place an order with Dawsons in Altrincham as they wanted a 50% deposit ! ( code for "we don't want your business", probably coz I iz black).
Arturia are probably sending a cart load of MB's to the USA 1st
-
Yeah I think they will be sending them to the USA first because I've seen it on eBay America for sale already.
Also it's not just a deposit they've had from me as I paid outright for it.
I would hassle Dawson's music more for it but I think they are sick of me asking about it!! They said there's nothing they can do until arturia send them so I'm going to hassle them until they pull their fingers out.
I just want a date please arturia because its well overdue.

I just contacted my online seller (a big one in France) and they told me to wait for 6 weeks more until they get stock... I ordered as soon as Arturia announced "Matrixbrute is shipping" early January and right now I feel a little p......d off with this.
Arturia is a french brand and the french market appears neglected once again.
My brother went to a music shop last week and they had 2 MB for direct sale. Of course they sold them quickly; But the thing is that the best way to go next time is to directly prefer small shops rather then big online sellers with virtual stocks but real money deposit needed...
I know it's worth the wait but I'm really disappointed

... I ordered as soon as Arturia announced "Matrixbrute is shipping" early January
@Reaktiv - I ordered mine beginning of August and there are people here who have ordered well before then. :(
-
That's the shocking point!! People have had this synth ordered for ages and there's no saying who's going to receive it first. There should be some way arturia can give the MB to the people who ordered first.
It gets to me that arturia won't comment and give us all a timeline when we will get it. I have been told by the music shop I ordered it from every month since last march it will be in stock but still nothing.
Arturia we need to know dates ASAP please

Well guys ,
My MATRIXBRUTE arrived at GAK at 13:13 hours,
I just paid the balance at 15:03
I should have it by 18:00 hours on 26/1/17
No gloating , I hope you all get one soon.
I'll tell you what its like , might swap my Surgical list for this week end !!
By the way , if the balance to pay is large , just ensure that your bank will allow the payment to go through.
My balance payment was declined despite adequate funds.
The stress of the security talk-through was a nightmare and finding all the different security question answers was nerve racking.
Sleepless night I think
Aggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Can't believe it !!!!!!!!
I own a MatrixBrute !!!!!!!!!!!
-
WOW! Congrats DrAKS! :)
Eagerly awaiting your 'review'.
Edit: And Arturia, how about getting a few pallets of MBs to Thomann - they're the largest music gear retailer in Europe and still months away from getting any according to themselves...
-
DrAKS!!! U lucky bugger!!! I'm chuffed for u matey :) congratulations :)
Let us all know how it is when u get it.
Can I come round and have a go to relieve my MB tention!!!! Have fun :)
-
Arturia come on now!! When will we get our synths???!!!
-
Also DrAKS does receiving your MB warrant a few swear words hahahahaha!!
-
Swearing?
Absolutely NOT
ALWAYS uncalled for.
How would my patients feel if I swore? I look after them, their elderly parents , their children, wives husbands etc.
Try not swearing , it is really easy and actually liberating. Seriously.
By the way I feel quite hyper!
Reading the manual again.
Dr.Justice, I am reconsidering the Demora over the Lexicon 400, any views ???
-
You are welcome to come round if you are ever up north Glen:)
-
Thanks DrAKS :) I'll bring some of my musical stuff up and we can have a jam :)
Seriously let us know when u have the MB sussed n u have made some cool sounds on it. Let us know what u think of it :) enjoy :)

Dr.Justice, I am reconsidering the Demora over the Lexicon 400, any views ???
Hm... that's two very different boxes... The Lexicon is a vastly more powerful effects processor with it's 4 separate fx blocks that can each perform any of a large selection of fx algorithms, including 7 different types of delay, while storing it all as user programs. The Demora on the other hand has only the one delay type with no program storage.
So it would depend on whether you want more fx types and programmability at the expense of some menu diving, or if you specifically want only a straight up delay with all controls available on the panel.
The Demora can be voltage controlled, so it would blend nicely into a MatrixBrute/modular environment. It can also be re-patched internally using the AIRA Modular Customizer (https://www.roland.com/global/products/aira_modular_customizer/) since it actually has a modular structure where you could add LFOs, envelopes and filters etc.. That's actually crazy cool, allowing you to make it into a completely customized delay effect. The Demora also uses a sample rate of 96kHz vs the Lexicons 48kHz, but that isn't normally critical.
Perhaps you're like me in that you're not too keen on working with tiny LCD menus? In that case I can see why you're considering the Demora. Personally I chose the Strymon TimeLine to get hands on tweakability combined with a selection of 12 delay types, line level stereo in/out, top notch sound quality and 200 user programs. There's a range of other options sitting between Demora and TimeLine for performance oriented delay-only fx - check out one of the many delay round ups e.g. here (http://www.bestguitareffects.com/top-best-delay-guitar-effects-pedals-buyers-guide/)

I have opted for a Demora delay unit. What won me over was the CV control of various parameters of the delay. As such, it should be a good match with a synth like the MatrixBrute (still waiting for mine to try this out with). You can also do other delay effects by rewiring its internal gubbins. I've barely touched the surface with mine but so far I have been really impressed. The signal path is very clean and the delay range of 20us to 10 seconds is crazy too.
-
Thanks , I am preferring the Demora as the Strymon is overpriced for my pocket
-
Still no words on here from arturia. WHEN WILL WE GET OUR SYNTHS??
-
Another week has gone by and still no answer from arturia. I want a date when I will receive my keyboard I've paid for nearly a year ago :(
It's getting beyond a joke now.
When will u send some to Dawson's music in the UK. Can u please give me an answer.
-
Another day has gone by and .... OMFG!!! It's in the post!!! I can't believe it!! Thank u arturia for getting it together at last! Now just got to wait for delivery!!
-
You'll love it. Watch your back lifting it .
-
Where's mine? :( :'(

Where did you order PXPT?
MUSIC STORE professional GmbH changed the date today From April 22 to March 4. More yo-yo'ing, it may not mean a thing. No sign of anything at Thomann either, apart from occasional yo-yo'ing.
@Arturia: With reference to this (http://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=88515.msg137570#msg137570), What is the sales team saying?
-
Where did you order PXPT?
I pre-ordered mine beginning of August last year from Professional Music Technology (PMT) here in the UK. I ordered from them because of their size and also there is a branch near where I live. I've just contacted them and there is no news at the moment.
-
i don't blame you. man they announced this last name, and they are just now shipping?
i watched them lie all through 2016 as to when it would be released.
that was not cool
