Arturia has introduced a semi-modular hybrid sequencer synthesizer instrument designed to push the envelope for the modern musician.
MiniBrute 2S takes the vast sound design potential of MiniBrute 2 and supercharges it with an advanced, triple-layered step sequencer. It combines Arturia’s legacy of joyful, intuitive sequencers with attitude-packed synthesis, and expands into the blooming world of Eurorack modular with a comprehensive mod matrix patchbay.
Featuring two of Arturia’s legendary Brute oscillators, the classic Steiner-Parker filter, an innovative looping envelope, and hands-on control for every parameter, MiniBrute 2S is a monosynth to be reckoned with. MiniBrute 2S is all about freedom: freedom to create totally unique, inspiring sounds; freedom to build a system that’s unique to you; freedom to expand your collection at your own pace.
One of the most exciting aspects of MiniBrute 2S is how perfectly it integrates into modular setups. It features a comprehensive modulation matrix with dozens of sources and destinations, letting you experiment with the instrument’s own sound, or hook it up to synth and effect modules. Try out a few sounds from the included Preset Cookbook, hone your synth skills and start patching, expand using your favorite Eurorack modules, the possibilities are endless.
Swapping out a keyboard for velocity and pressure sensitive performance pads, the MiniBrute 2S features a triple-layer, monophonic sequencer that works in the same way as Arturia’s award-winning KeyStep controller. You can control your notes with one track, and use the other 2 to sequence parameters like gates, CV, LFOs, and envelopes. You can do this in real-time, or by step-editing.
