3.1 Điều khiển cơ bản

• Bàn phím: The 49-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch is your primary interface for playing notes.
• Bộ dao động: The MatrixBrute features three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) with various waveforms (Saw, Square, Triangle) and sub-oscillators. Adjust the Sóng, Độ rộng xung, Và Điều chỉnh controls to shape the initial sound.
• Bộ lọc: Two filters (Steiner-Parker and Ladder) provide distinct tonal characteristics. Use the Cắt, Sự cộng hưởng, Và Lái xe controls to sculpt the sound.
• Phong bì: 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.

• Trình tự tuần tự: The 64-step sequencer allows for complex melodic and rhythmic patterns. Use the dedicated sequencer controls to record, edit, and playback sequences.
• Bộ tạo hợp âm: Create dynamic arpeggios from held notes.
• Ma trận điều biến: 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.
