The Arturia MiniBrute 2S is a progression from the synth that enabled innumerable musicians and creators by offering powerful synthesis at an affordable price. The MiniBrute 2S combines elements of an analogue synthesizer with a step-sequencer and semi-modular attributes. The logical layout provides users with a clear idea of how to build their patches, without standing in the path of inspiration.
A multi-pattern triple-layer 64-Step Sequencer opens new doors to song-writing without the need for complicated pattern programming, whilst the Arturia Link system can turn this serious standalone synth into a modular Eurorack monster, using the optional RackBrute system.
The MiniBrute 2S forgoes the keyboard more commonly associated with Synthesizers in favour of more hands-on and intuitive Pressure & Velocity sensitive pads and encoders. An Arp/Loop section can be used to generate arpeggios or loop portions of the sequence. These effects remain synced when you exit the loop, ideal for live performance.
Arturia Announces MiniBrute 2S
The main features of the Arturia MiniBrute 2S include:
A very clean sounding synth with scope for adding some dirt. It’s very playable, the sequencer is brilliant and the choice of faders instead of pots for some of the controls works really well.
