2. セットアップ

2.1 開梱

Carefully remove the MatrixBrute from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage. Verify that all included components are present:

• Arturia MatrixBrute Synthesizer
• 電源ケーブル
• ユーザーマニュアル（このドキュメント）
• 登録カード

2.2 接続

Before connecting the MatrixBrute, ensure all audio equipment is powered off. Connect cables firmly to prevent signal loss or damage.

1. 電源接続: Connect the supplied power cable to the AC IN socket on the rear panel and then to a suitable power outlet.
2. オーディオ出力: Connect the main audio outputs (LEFT/MONO, RIGHT) to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using 1/4-inch TS cables.
3. MIDI接続: Use standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cables to connect the MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU ports to other MIDI devices.
4. USB接続: Connect a USB Type B cable from the MatrixBrute's USB port to your computer for MIDI communication and firmware updates.
5. CV/ゲート接続: Utilize the various CV/Gate inputs and outputs for integration with modular synthesizers and other compatible equipment.
6. ヘッドフォン: Connect headphones to the 1/4-inch stereo headphone jack for private monitoring.

2.3初期電源オン

After all connections are made, power on your audio system first, then the MatrixBrute using the power switch on the rear panel. The display will illuminate, indicating the unit is ready for use.

3. Operating the MatrixBrute

The MatrixBrute offers extensive control over its analog synthesis engine. This section covers the primary operational aspects.

3.1 基本的な制御

• キーボード： The 49-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch is your primary interface for playing notes.
• 発振器: The MatrixBrute features three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) with various waveforms (Saw, Square, Triangle) and sub-oscillators. Adjust the 波, パルス幅、 そして チューニング controls to shape the initial sound.
• フィルター: Two filters (Steiner-Parker and Ladder) provide distinct tonal characteristics. Use the 断つ, 共振、 そして ドライブ controls to sculpt the sound.
• 封筒: Three ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelopes control the amplitude, filter cutoff, and other parameters over time.
• LFO: Three Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) can modulate various parameters, adding movement and complexity to your sounds.

3.2 Using the Matrix

The central matrix is a versatile tool for sequencing, arpeggiation, and modulation routing.

• シーケンサー： The 64-step sequencer allows for complex melodic and rhythmic patterns. Use the dedicated sequencer controls to record, edit, and playback sequences.
• アルペジエーター: Create dynamic arpeggios from held notes.
• Modulation Matrix: The matrix serves as a powerful modulation router, allowing you to assign sources (e.g., LFOs, envelopes) to destinations (e.g., filter cutoff, oscillator pitch) with adjustable intensity.

3.3 Onboard Effects

The MatrixBrute includes analog effects such as Delay, Chorus, and Flanger. Adjust the dedicated controls in the effects section to integrate them into your sound design.

3.4 CV/MIDI Integration

The MatrixBrute offers extensive connectivity for integrating with other gear:

• ミディ： Control the MatrixBrute from an external MIDI controller or sequence it from a DAW via MIDI IN. Send MIDI data from the MatrixBrute via MIDI OUT/THRU.
• CV/ゲート: Connect to modular synthesizers using the dedicated CV/Gate inputs and outputs for pitch, gate, and modulation control.

4. メンテナンス

4.1 クリーニング

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your MatrixBrute, follow these guidelines:

• 柔らかく乾いた布で表面を拭いてください。
• 頑固な汚れには、軽くこすったamp 布に中性洗剤をつけて拭き、すぐに乾かしてください。
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish.
• Do not spray liquids directly onto the instrument.

4.2ソフトウェアアップデート

Arturia periodically releases firmware updates to improve performance, add features, or fix bugs. Visit the official Arturia web地点 （ホームページ) for the latest firmware and instructions on how to update your MatrixBrute.
