    Arturia MiniBrute 2 and the “Synth-Flation” phenomenon The Arturia MiniBrute 2 could easily be chosen “People’s-Analog-Synthesizer Number ONE of the decade”. It certainly has all the refinements that a modern versatile analog synth should have. But in truth, its award may be out of reach, since the market is going through an odd phase of inflation at the moment. W hile “Inflation” is indicative of money, we could coin the term “Synth-Flation” to explain what’s going on: The artificial expansion of the synth market. Foremost among the competitors, the MiniBrute 2, an excellent sounding 2- VCO synthesizer from the French synth manufacturer Arturia. The fact is, if the market were dominated by the veterans of the category “Vintage Synthesizer”, the release of MiniBrute 2 would see masses of enthusiasts around the globe, stampeding to the music stores. They would desert their jobs, friends and family and jump on already overcrowded trains to get to cities where they could buy the MiniBrute 2 (or at least see their object of desire). But that’s just not the way it’s happening … | 1 Arturia MiniBrute 2 and the “Synth-Flation” phenomenon After the original MiniBrute had experienced an entirely respectable output of production, after MicroBrute and MatrixBrute had been introduced into Arturia’s portfolio, and after many dozens of analog instruments of various producers had appeared on the market, MiniBrute 2 has become just one of numerous analog synths in 2019. The fact that the MiniBrute 2 is selling well, but not in extraordinary quantities, the fact that it’s not a top-seller, so to speak, is a fate that the instrument suffers unfairly.

  • Arturia Minibrute – the New Roland SH-101? in Many Ways the Arturia Minibrute Is an Exception to the Rule
    Arturia MiniBrute – the new Roland SH-101? In many ways the Arturia MiniBrute is an exception to the rule. First, it’s French, a rarity on the analog synth market. Second, it’s something really special. THE analog synth of the year 2012 (and probably also 2013). In the lower price segment, in any case … Most remarkable is the fact that a product of this high quality could be produced with such an exceptional price- performance ratio without any great sacrifices. Arturia, up to now primarily involved in the development of software synthesizers, seems to have managed the impossible. The MiniBrute is well-made, sounds great, is versatile and – at 500 Euros – very affordable. An analog synth with MIDI, USB and CV/Gate. You might expect that you’d just be getting what’s absolutely necessary in basic sound design, but the opposite is true. The MiniBrute is full of little extras that total up to enormous flexibility. We’ll explain this in detail in the course of the following report. | 1 Arturia MiniBrute – the new Roland SH-101? We have also taken the liberty to compare the MiniBrute with the similarly designed Roland SH-101. But let’s start at the beginning … On availability, the manual and other stuff … The MiniBrute comes with a couple of suprises. First, concerning delivery times and availability: these can be sticky. Arturia has too few MiniBrutes available around the world. So, you may have to be patient at the moment. | 2 Arturia MiniBrute – the new Roland SH-101? The original user manual is written in English, French and Japanese Second, the manual: well organized – good printing quality, very informative … everything’s great, except … you’re limited to English, French and Japanese! For other languages (German, for example), please put on hold.

  • Arturia Microbrute – Tiny on the Outside, Huge on the Inside Surprise! After the Success of the Minibrute Synthesizer, Arturia Has Delved Further Into the Microcosmos
    Arturia MicroBrute – tiny on the outside, huge on the inside Surprise! After the success of the MiniBrute synthesizer, Arturia has delved further into the microcosmos. We all expected a real “Brute” synthesizer, a full-blown version of the “mini” with 4 octaves, 4-voice polyphony, memory and some extra controls (such as a ribbon controller). But we had it all wrong – Arturia has released the MicroBrute. The real surprise, however, is that the tiny MicroBrute (the dwarf) is a fantastic musical instrument. The concept behind this latest Arturia offspring is clever and flexible, thanks to its cute CV-department, together with MIDI and USB. It’s a fun instrument, a magic box par excellence, a synthesizer for sound engineers and all- round musicians. A dwarf, a dwarf … At first, its size would seem to nudge the MicroBute into a certain corner. Into a corner where it does NOT belong. Its mini-keys might lead you to think that this is a toy! So serious keyboard players could hold their noses, smile politely (or not), turn around and go on their way. Whoever has learned to play the piano – whether on an acoustic or on an electric instrument – is NOT used to mini-sized keys. | 1 Arturia MicroBrute – tiny on the outside, huge on the inside This, it can not be denied, might be a problem. We have to be clear about this. But – wonder of wonders – the MicroBrute SOUND just blows any little inconveniences away. This is a hell of an analog synth with superb sounds and stunning performance possibilities.
