Arturia team, can you please make a statement on a possible update?

Hello everyone.

I'm dropping a little line to give you a little bit of vision on the update release.

Hi Edouard: 

Is the clock now steady? 

Thanks
Kris

It does make me happy to hear, that the sync is being worked on. It's the number one reason for me to not use the Matrix Brute.

Hi Lunatic,
Sync is rock solid here, well about as good as MIDI clock gets. Using old fashioned MIDI cables.
Actually I am quite impressed with the sync already so great if it can be even better.

What happens in you experience? Or am I just less fussy than you?

I find the midi sync to be very solid and locks well with my daw transport and other synths, no issues here....The TR8s locks very well with the brute also I use the two together a lot....this is all synced with a midi clock module and my daw as the tempo source ....

The clock on the brute before this firmware update is definitely not locked or tight. The longer the clock tries to sync, the further it drifts. This is a known bug that is hopfully going to be fixed in the update. Its messed up my work a few times already.

I am ready to download the new firmware, Arturia are you ready to deliver?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reassurances Kev!  Hoping that a new soundbank will also be released that shows off the new features. Wondering about backwards compatibility with existing patches, too.  Questions, questions...   

Hello !

I can answer these questions !

Preset compatibility: The new updates adds new parameters in the synth, consequently:
- Import a V1 on a V2 MatrixBrute will automatically convert the V1 preset into a v2.
- You cannot import a v2 preset in a v1 MatrixBrute. (The MCC checks the version)
- Once a V1 preset has been converted into a V2 this preset can no longer be imported in a V1.
/!\ To play it safe, I recommend to backup your MatrixBrute preset bank before to upgrade.

Preset Bank: Victor with the help of other designers prepared a new bank with great simple but very playable presets.
Some of them are making a very smart use of the new features and can definitely be super inspiring

Best !

Edouard

Thank you Edouard, for some news about the Matrixbrute  To be honest, I was thinking of selling my Matrixbrute recently, to finance another synth. I will now put that idea on hold, for a while. My biggest concern is about the lack of a sequencer editor, and a song mode for arrangements. The sound however, has never been an issue for me. The Matrixbrute is full of possibilities,  and is great for sound design
Kind regards

Hello everyone.
New beta version today fixing the Sync issues.
We may get closer to the release date... 
Best !

Exciting news.  Thanks for the heads up Edouard.

I just reread the thread and I realized, the mediocre sync is indeed not the no. 1 reason not to use the brute, that are the LFO divisions of course! 

Sync is 2nd, and then come the bugs, I guess. lol

Hey beta testers - it is mid OCT and I know things take time - but being you are the closest to the big fixes and doing real testing - (Santa’s elves) - have we been patient enough to maybe get this release in our Christmas stockings this year? All I want for Christmas is the update - with no bugs of its own and a commitment to address any when it is released. Sincerely - Rudolph, Frosty, Mrs Clause, The Grinch . . .

Joking aside - any last minute push to get this done? Sure appreciate all you beta testers are doing!

[standingwave]

No beta testers at least wanna share some dirt yet? Give us a taste, come on!

It is a shame that people have to beg for a flagship update for years.
And then after years of waiting we do not get any information regarding the updater scope
or release date.
And now the people are still waiting and do not know when the update will be finally released.
I'm am working for an IT company, if we had an update policy like Arturia, then I would be jobless.
It is just ridiculous, Arturia is able to release new Hardware without problems but are not able to
deliver simple bug fixes.

Sorry but I don't want to wait anymore, I will sell all my Arturia gear also the Matrixbrute, and with
the money I get I will support other companies.
And it doe's not matter if the Matrixbrute sounds good, there are enough Synths on the market with similar
or better sound performance.
I don't want to support a company that treats his customers like sh##.
