Arturia MiniBrute 2 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer and Step Sequencer

The Arturia MiniBrute 2 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer and Step Sequencer in Black has evolved from the legendary monosynth that revolutionized the analog scene with its mixable waveforms, Steiner-Parker filter, and Brute Factor. Now with semi-modular architecture, you can splice its genome and expand its raw power into the world of Eurorack modular.
This is Synth Evolution
Born from the lineage of its predecessor, MiniBrute 2 is an adaptable, dynamic synth with semi-modular architecture and huge connectivity. From the earliest electronic instruments, synthesizers have expanded and enhanced the possibilities available to musicians. Arturia decided not only to apply this mantra to the sound of the new instrument, but to synthesizer itself. MiniBrute 2 was born. A synthesizer that would sound huge and yet be compact, self-contained, and versatile. An instrument that would be both comprehensive and evolving. MiniBrute 2 sweeps conventions aside, in terms of sound, features, and preconceptions of what a synth should be.
A Small Beast with a Powerful Voice
The MiniBrute 2 has nothing to hide. Look at its front panel, and get yourself acquainted. You’ll notice the now-iconic Brute oscillators, the acidic Steiner-Parker filter, and the mayhem-inducing Brute Factor knob that has become the signature Arturia synth element for many fans. Looking a bit further, beyond the usual modulation sources and controls, you’ll notice some exciting, unexpected features: a second VCO, a second LFO, new VCO and Filter frequency modulation possibilities, modifier-related modulation destinations, and a brand new, loopable AD envelope. Once tamed, this little beast will reveal the full range of its vocalizations, including raging leads and piercing sequences, as well as smooth pads and purring bass. The time is nigh, the moon is full, and MiniBrute 2 is ready to howl.
A Polymorph with a Pack Instinct
There are two ways that creatures thrive: adapting and grouping together. MiniBrute 2 is a master of both. Thanks to its massive CV and Gate patch bay, you will be able to reinvent and restructure your MiniBrute 2 at any time. The synth is semi-modular, even with no patch leads connected, and each of its features has already been cleverly and inspiringly routed. If you want to start dissecting the sound and experimenting, you will find direct, 100 percent safe access to the MiniBrute 2’s genetic code on the right of its front panel. It can modulate the Metalizer amount to an audio pulse, has the AD envelope affecting its own decay to make it sharper, and affects the VCO1 FM amount with the LFO. The possibilities are practically unlimited, and even more so if you have CV and Gate-enhanced gear and Eurorack modules to welcome into the pack. No natural selection here. With MiniBrute 2, you set your own rules of sonic evolution.
It Will Learn Through Play
With a creative approach, MiniBrute 2 will be able to master any trick you can imagine. Maybe you’ll want to enjoy MiniBrute 2 as the musician’s best friend it is - enjoying its devoted attention, safe in the privacy of your studio, and at the center of your creative setup. Maybe you’ll want to share its awesome tricks and sonic prowess on stage, with an audience. Whatever you have planned for this incredible synthesizer, it won’t let you down. Sporting a high-quality, aftertouch-enhanced 25-key keyboard, an inspiring arpeggiator, and a smart and effective sequencer. The way you perform is up to you. One thing’s for certain: once you get your hands on this beast, you’ll never want to take them off.
