Description

UNRESTRAINED ANALOG The synth that kick-started the affordable analog revolution is reborn as an addictive, inspiring step-sequencing synth with huge modular capabilities. An exciting evolution in the MiniBrute story, MiniBrute 2S stays true to the raw sound-shaping power of the iconic original, while adding thrilling new features and possibilities.

Combining the best elements of an analog synthesizer with an intuitive step-sequencer and exciting semi-modular architecture, MiniBrute 2S was made to inspire. Its parameters are clearly laid out and create sound that’s packed with personality and attitude.

Its multi-pattern, triple-layer, 64-step sequencer offers exciting new ways of creating music, but takes the pain out of pattern programming. A serious standalone synth, MiniBrute 2S can also be augmented by using its expanded patchbay, and become the center of your modular system. Hook it up to a RackBrute and keep your whole collection in a stylish, robust Eurorack ecosystem. A beautifully thought-out sequencing analog synth, an essential link to the modular world, and an instrument that will grow with you. MiniBrute 2S will help you create sounds that no one has ever heard before. A Labor of love MiniBrute 2S isn’t merely a ‘product’, it’s an obsession, a journey, and a commitment to give you one of the most rewarding synth experiences possible. Straight from the minds of Arturia synth master Seb Rochard and industry legend Yves Usson, MiniBrute 2S unites their love of intuitive sequencing with their desire for raw synth power and studio connectivity. Through their effort, Arturia has democratized the world of Eurorack modular and introduced it to a whole new generation of musicians. Are you ready to take the journey with us? Once MiniBrute 2S is laid out before you, everything starts to fall into place. Let’s take a closer look at what MiniBrute has to offer… 1. VCO 1 Sawtooth, Pulse and Triangle waves with unique modifiers and direct FM control. Ultra Saw makes for huge sounds, Metalizer adds complex harmonics to the triangle wave. FM generates rich tones. 2. VCO 2 Selectable waveform between sine, saw and square. Multiple tuning modes for fine, coarse or LFO operation. 3. Oscillator Mixer Allows for mixing the levels of the individual waveforms of the oscillator 1 and 2, the noise generator and the external inputs. 4. Steiner-Parker Multimode Filter Beefy filter with Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Notch modes. Resonance can be pushed into self oscillation. 5. 4 Stage Envelope ADSR Type Envelope generator. 6. Brute Factor™ The Brute Factor™ can add subtle drive effects to full blown intermodulation havoc. 7. AD Envelope This modulator can generate AD, AHR or loopable envelopes. Its Attack and Decay times are CV-controllable, too. 8. Patchbay 48 CV inputs and outputs to control many elements of the synthesizer and sequencer. Some utility modules provide extended possibilities. 9. Two LFOs Both LFO supply 6 waveforms and can run in sync to the Sequencer. Very fast rates can be obtained. 10. 3-track, 64-step sequencer The sequencer controls Pitch, Gate, Velocity and Pressure. Use Seq 2 or Seq 3 to generate other types of signals : Gates, CV, Pitch, LFOs, Envelopes. Real-time and step editing are available. 11. Pads and Encoders 16 Pressure and Velocity sensitive pads can be used as a keyboard or to enter steps in the sequence. Encoders are used to edit the values for each step. 12. 64 patterns 64 pattern memories are available, organized in four banks. Create a chain of patterns to build longer patterns or even full songs. 13. Sync Synchronize to external MIDI, USB or analog clock. 14. Arp/Loop Generate arpeggios on the keys or loop a portion of the sequence. Everything stays in sync when you exit the loop, perfect for performance. 15. Audio In/Out Line and headphones outputs. 16. MIDI In/Out Connect and sync MiniBrute to any DAW or hardware MIDI equipment. 17. USB In/Out Control MiniBrute from your DAW or use it as a master keyboard Main Features Analog Synthesizer 2 Analog VCO’s: VCO1 : Saw + UltraSaw, Square +Pulse width, Triangle + Metalizer.
