Arturia MatrixBrute Noir Edition Synthesizer
What makes this synth so special is that it is similar to an old school analog paraphonic synthesizer with massive patchability, but instead of running patch cables you just push a button on the matrix grid which establishes a connection between the analog components. This means you can make patches in seconds, and anything you create can be stored as a preset. It has two separate filters, knob per function, analog effects, aftertouch keybed, lots of CVs in and out, and macro knobs by the mod wheel that can control several things at once. It's built very well and weighs about 40lbs. I love the flip up panel, and I hate that didn't carry over to the PolyBrute.
This is a brand new MatrixBrute for lower than the used cost of almost any decent condition one in the world. I much preferred the original color, but for the money I'm not complaining about the murdered out Noir Edition. There are 500 made, and the discount means they are probably making the next run (white maybe?). When the last ones went into final sell a couple years back, they dropped to $1100 at ProAudioStar. They are now $100 less expensive than that.

That's what she said. It is somewhat large, but with knob per function with no menu diving and the patch matrix, it can't get much smaller. I was surprised that it was smaller than I thought it would be when I got one. Still pretty big though.
And for them- this is a good price.
To me it is a large footprint with a 'meh' filter. ymmv.
