Arturia President Frédéric Brun
Arturia President Frédéric Brun looks back over the French company's 20‑year history and describes the development of instruments such as the ambitious Origin, the best-selling MiniBrute, and the mighty MatrixBrute and PolyBrute.
Co-founded by Frédéric Brun and Gilles Pommereuil and based in the French city of Grenoble, Arturia have built on their roots as pioneering developers of virtual instruments to become one of the world's leading manufacturers of analogue, digital and software synthesizers, controller keyboards and audio interfaces.
2003 saw the release of their first software synth, the Modular V followed by the DX7, ARP 2600, Oberheim OB‑X, Buchla, Jupiter 8 and many more classic synths developed using True Analog Emulation (TAE), an advanced proprietary technology allowing accurate modelling of analogue circuitry behaviour.
In 2009 Arturia moved into hardware with the introduction of Origin, a very ambitious synthesizer, and continued inventing new products launching the first of the Brute line in 2012. MiniBrute instantly became a landmark in the industry and was followed by the MicroBrute, DrumBrute, MatrixBrute and their latest keyboard synthesizer, the PolyBrute. Along the way they also launched the popular KeyStep and KeyLab controller keyboards and more recently branched out into audio interfaces, with their AudioFuse range.
