Free MatrixBrute Randomizer prototype completed! Download link in description

When I think of the MatrixBrute, it makes me think of Brutus from Popeye. So, I named this Randomizer program, MatrixWimp, for Wimpy the Hamburger Mooch. It’s also Wimpy because less than 80 parameters can be randomized (click on About inside the program). But, it is still an awesome and powerful tool. I have already randomized some next level sonic beauty (and weirdness)

Friends, I need some volunteers to test this out. It’s working fine for me on a windows 10 PC. (Mac OS to come) I have it zipped on my google drive.

Windows 64-bit required
MatrixBrute connected via USB (connect first!)
Close Arturia MIDI Control Center while testing
(it can steal the MIDI port)

Give me Feedback

Does the hamburger icon show up?

Does the app launch without errors?

Does the MIDI OUT drop-down show “MatrixBrute”?

Does pressing ALL change the sound immediately?

Any freezes, crashes, or weird delays?

Nice :slight_smile: But I can’t download it, the link asks for login to google account. I’m quite sure its also possible to share from google drive without requiring a login.

Looks quite similar to mine (not so many ways to present this, I guess!), which was 99% finished this weekend - so I will post it very soon. It grew from being Matrixbrute specific to a generic randomizer with some extra functionality.

Yes, its quite disappointing that so few parameters are available, and f.ex the “type of effect” is missing because it’s a button, but the rest of the effect section are available. My Novation Mininova have 46 different parameter-sections with around 500 parameters - makes the GUI quite big!
