Arturia MiniBrute Analogue Synthesizer

MiniBrute is a revolutionary new analogue synthesiser from Arturia. Featuring a pure analogue signal path and a host of unique features, it sets a new standard for what a hardware synthesiser should be. Its 100% analogue audio signal path features a VCO wave mixer, the classic Steiner-Parker multimode filter, as well as numerous analogue innovations such as the Metalizer, Ultrasaw, and the Brute Factor™. Boasting a complete MIDI, CV and USB connectivity, MiniBrute is right at home with your computer or your vintage synths, making it the ideal companion to deliver a pure analog blast anywhere you go. Combining the renowned savoir-faire of ARTURIA for designing professional musical instruments, and the expertise of synth "guru" Yves Usson in crafting the finest analogue modules, MiniBrute is a revolutionary analogue synthesiser. MiniBrute was built with a simple goal in mind: offer great analogue sound, through a very easy to use interface, and without ever compromising on quality. The result of fine R&D and skilled craftsmanship: a 100% analogue audio signal path, delivering huge bass-lines, screaming leads, outstanding arpeggios and FX’s. Analogue synthesisers of yesteryear are highly sought-after on the second hand market for their warmth, fatness, slight instability, and their unmistakable sonic character. Digital synths, for their part, offer more possibilities but tend to sound sometimes sterile and loose musicians in endless menus and boring sound digest concepts. Today, MiniBrute comes as a bold statement, standing proudly among legendary analog machines like the Minimoog, Pro-One, SH-101, MS-20, and Odyssey. MiniBrute brings the finest analog sounds as heard on iconic electronic records, whilst imprinting its own unique features and strong attitude.
