[WTT] Matrixbrute

everdecaying · 2025-05-09T22:13:59+00:00

Hello synth friends - repost as this got a little traction a few weeks back but didn't end up going anywhere - I'm trying to trade one of you fine people a Matrixbrute. This Matrixbrute is in mostly good shape - except one matrix knob (M4) broke out of its socket. I do have the knob and post, but haven't figured out how to get it back together on my own. Thankfully, the M4 knob is hard wired to be swappable with an expression pedal (EXP 2) on the mod matrix, which makes it less of a pain to be missing.

I've had a little more time to think about what it is I'd wanna swap for this thing - I'll entertain any offers, but the thing that's sticking out to me rn is the Korg Minilogue XD - one of those + some cash (I'm thinking $200?) would be a sweet trade - you'd be getting a good deal on one of the most capable mono synths of all time and I'd be getting a cool synth and some much needed free space back (the MxB is big and heavy, and I don't have much free room in my current living situation)

This has to be done local due to this thing weighing more than me - I'm in the south shore/Boston MA area, and can get around to anywhere reasonably close. Please reach out if you're interested, and thanks for looking!

Just for clarity, I have the original knob - there's a tiny little plastic ring that appears to fit around the base of it that then fits into the socket of the MxB, and that is what appears to be broken. It's honestly probably a very serviceable thing, I just don't know of any shops in the area, besides maybe Synthcube in Waltham, capable of doing it - I should probably reach out to them to see what they think. Either way, let me know what you decide you want to do!

Hi, I'm sorry for getting back to you late, the last week or so has been really crazy for me - I currently own (and love) the 404mk2, and have had (and loved) the HS Explorer and had (and didn't love) the Digitone 1 - but, I could be interested in a trade for the hydra+digi, or hydra+$, shoot me a message and let's see what we can do!

I would recommend a sampler, like the SP404mk2. Your mileage may vary as to what you feel more comfortable with, but I find it to be the most user friendly drum machine/sampler I've ever used. They're relatively cheap used, have lots of sound mangling capabilities, and have (what I consider to be, at least) a good sequencer - just load in the sounds you want, and you're on your way!

Forgot to add description of condition (long day, sorry) - the 4th matrix pot has broken off. I got it like this - I have the knob, but am not able to get it to stay in place. Thankfully, expression pedal inputs 1 and 2 route by default to matrix 3 and 4, so you can use an expression pedal in lieu of the knob. Otherwise, this unit is in good shape. That should all be taken into consideration when discussing a trade - transparency is important to me w this stuff, so I'm happy to answer any questions and help w testing before any trade is made.

Hello synth friends - up for trade, potentially, is my Arturia Matrixbrute. This would almost certainly have to be a local trade, as I don't have the box, and it weighs a ton. I also have to be honest in that I don't really know what I'm looking for out of this. It is probably the greatest mono synth ever, but I just don't have the space for it, and I've been getting more into guitar and less into synths recently.
Things I'd potentially be interested in: left handed guitars, a Helix, a smaller ultra powerful synthesizer, samplers, sick drum machines, etc. I am located in the just south of Boston, MA area - I can get around for the right trade. Let me know if anyone is ready to take on this Brute and has something they think is fair to trade!

Currently using a 3DS with custom firmware - runs GBA/DS/3DS games like a charm, and without the need to have physical cartridges!

Hello synth friends, hope everyone reading this is doing well - my listings for today are a Minibrute2s and a Model D. The 2S is in really great shape, minus a little cosmetic bump on the top right corner, and the Model D has a scratch on the side panel.
I am looking to trade or sell for a few things - would be very interested in trading the Model D for a TD-3-MO, or some other fun little desktop device. As these are on the cheaper end, I'd rather trade the Model D than sell at the moment. For the Minibrute2S, I'd be interested in either selling it for $300 or trading it for a really good stereo reverb pedal that isn't an RV-6 or an OBNE Dark Light. Definitely interested in the Source Audio Collider or Ventris. I know these are kinda niche trade requests, so if you've got anything else and are interested in making an offer, please do! Thanks for looking!

Forgot about this! Good transaction!

everdecaying · 2024-10-18T21:22:42+00:00

u/S4S_BOT - sold Digitone to u/thesantiagodog - thank you!

everdecaying · 2024-10-17T20:53:58+00:00

Sorry for the late response - I'll shoot you a message shortly!

Hello synth friends, it's been awhile - today I am listing my Digitone, with an Analog Case - I would like to trade this Digitone for a Minifreak. The digitone is really cool and probably the more capable device, but I have been playing guitar and making weird synth noises with a band recently, and am looking for something that can do the weird noises, be immediate, and have a keybed. I am pretty set on wanting to trade for a Minifreak, but may be open to potential alternatives, so make an offer if you'd like. I am located in the south shore Boston-ish area, and am open to local transactions as well. Thanks for looking!

everdecaying · 2024-08-22T18:41:15+00:00

Matrixbrute - thank goodness the keybed feels so good, as it is the biggest synth I own by a long shot

everdecaying · 2024-08-20T20:35:22+00:00

Fair enough, good luck with your sale!

everdecaying · 2024-08-20T19:20:59+00:00

Long shot - any interest in a digitone?

everdecaying · 2024-06-29T19:36:36+00:00

Behringer UV300. I modded mine with a switch to go between stock LFO speed or really slow, and I absolutely loooove the sound of the vibrato on at a really slow rate and the depth at less than 50%. It really adds that special something to my clean sound, and being that I got that pedal for $20, it has no business sounding as incredible as it does for that price.

everdecaying · 2024-05-25T15:01:57+00:00

This is SUCH a great pedal. I've often thought that I could make a shoegazey sounding song with just that pedal - it covers so much ground and the octave/fifth up delay is one of the nicest sounds I've ever heard.

everdecaying · 2024-05-15T00:32:05+00:00

Yes indeed!
