Description
The Brute line is now in a new, completely black edition - Noir Edition.
The MiniBrute 2 analog synthesizer evolved from the legendary monophonic synthesizer that revolutionized the analog scene with its waveform mixing, Steiner-Parker filter and Brute Factor. Now, thanks to the semi-modular architecture, you can combine genomes and expand the possibilities even more with a modular Eurorack system.
Product information
Building on its predecessor, the MiniBrute 2 is an adaptable dynamic synthesizer with a semi-modular architecture and extensive connectivity options.
Since the appearance of the first electronic instruments, synthesizers have constantly expanded their functionality, giving musicians more opportunities. Arturia decided not to limit themselves to applying this mantra to the sound of their new instrument, but to create something new. And MiniBrute 2 was born: a compact, flexible, self-contained synthesizer with a very grown-up sound. The tool is comprehensive and, at the same time, continues to evolve.
MiniBrute 2 ticks off all the conventions of how a synthesizer should sound and be.
A small "beast" with a powerful voice
MiniBrute 2 has nothing to hide. Look at its top panel, familiarize yourself with it. You'll notice the iconic Brute oscillators, the Steiner-Parker acid filter, and the mayhem-inducing Brute Factor knob that has become a signature Arturia synth element for many fans.
If you look a little closer, in addition to the usual sources of modulation and control elements, you will notice some interesting, unexpected features: a second VCO; second LFO; new VCO frequency modulation and filtering capabilities; possibilities of assigning modulations; brand new AD bypass filter. Once tamed, this little "beast" will reveal its full range of possibilities, including bright leads, piercing sequences, as well as smooth pads and amazing bass.
A polymorph with a pack instinct
There are two ways to success: adaptation and unification. MiniBrute 2 is strong in both of these.
Thanks to the powerful CV/Gate patch bay, you can change and restructure your MiniBrute 2 at any time. This is a semi-modular synthesizer, and even without taking into account the possibilities that patch cables provide, all its functions are already deeply thought out and intelligently routed. If you decide to experiment with the sound, on the right side of the front panel you will find a 100% safe way to dig into the "DNA" of the MiniBrute 2.
Modulate Metalizer on a sound pulse? Using an AD filter to change the timing of its own release to make the effect sharper? Does the VCO1 FM level affect the LFO? You get the idea. The possibilities are practically endless, and even more so if you have the CV/Gate base expansion hardware and a Eurorack module to bring it all together.
There is no natural selection here. With MiniBrute 2, you set your own rules for sound evolution.
From our heart to your hands
Designed by passionate enthusiasts, the synthesizer is built to serve the intrepid in their experimentation musicians.
It was created by Arturia product manager Seb Rochard, who took as a basis the unique approach to synthesis of synthesizer guru Yves Usson. MiniBrute 2 is truly made by musicians for musicians. Every aspect of this synthesizer, from its layout to the carefully selected components, reflects the painstaking work that has been done to provide you with the most flexible and user-friendly analog synthesizer.
You should take a look at the MiniBrute 2 control panel and its functions - everything will become clear. Let's take a closer look at what MiniBrute has to offer.
