Nice, minimalist track. Like a walk through a synth zen garden.  How do you like the MatrixBrute?  Looks like a beast. 

:-)

Yes the matrix brute is quite a strange beast. The first contact is easy: you manipulate the oscillators, the filter cut-offs etc like a 'standard' synth. Then you go deeper, and it becomes quite impressive and overwhelming. I have it for 2 months now and I discover new ways to use it. For instance I discovered by chance that one of the factory presets (they are worth looking at as a learning tool) was acting like a sequencer ... without using the sequencer.

Basically the patch was using a custom waved LFO (you have the standard shapes: saw tooth etc. but also one at which  you can give any form graphically), running at a slow frequency and connected to a VCO. The result was a pseudo sequencer whose frequency was shifted when by the keyboard.

For the moment, I'm tring to keep it simple and not to overcomplicate my patches :-)

I salute to this song. Well done.
