Analog Synthesizer Arturia MiniBrute 2S

The synthesizer, which revolutionized the analog world, making it accessible to everyone, is now being revived as a new inspirational synth with a step sequencer and great modular capabilities.

The MiniBrute 2S is inspired by its semi-modular architecture. It allows you to create sounds full of personality, clearly reflect the identity of the creator. And its multi-patented 3-layer 64-step sequencer offers exciting new possibilities for creating music, while eliminating the headache when programming patterns. The capabilities of this powerful standalone synthesizer can be further enhanced by using the Patchbay module. This synthesizer can become the center of your entire modular system. Connect it to RackBrute and save your entire collection in the stylish and reliable Eurorack ecosystem.

Powerful stand-alone synthesizer MiniBrute 2S allows you to control all processes manually. This gives you the ability to create unique sounds that will set you apart from the crowd. Nothing is like the feeling that arises when you hear your sound come alive under your hands; "sings", obeying the change in the shape of the waves VCO; "growls" when you set up your LFO; "screams", obeying the Steiner-Parker filter. Thanks to organic programming with almost infinite possibilities, the MiniBrute 2S opens up to you an exciting world of sounds.

This synthesizer is designed for pioneers in the music world, it provides the user with complete control over a variety of new interesting synthesis capabilities, internal routing and full compatibility with Eurorack.

Impressive Functionality

1. VCO 1
Shapes of waves Sawtooth, Pulse, Triangle – with unique modifiers and direct FM control. Ultra Saw is designed to create dense sounds, Metalizer adds complex harmonics to a triangular wave. FM gives the sound a saturation.

2. VCO 2
Choosing a waveform between sinusoidal, in the form of a saw or square. Several modes of fine and coarse adjustment, LFO-operation.

3. Mixer oscillators
Allows you to mix waveforms 1 and 2 oscillators, noise generator and signals from external sources.

4. Steiner-Parker multimode filter
"Bold" filter with Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass and Notch modes. Is able to enter into resonance due to automatic libation.
 
5. 4-step air filter
Generator ADSR type.
 
6. Brute Factor
Brute Factor is able to bring an easy drive effect into the chaos of intermodulation.

7. AD real estate development
This modulator is able to generate AD, AHR bending and loops. The attack and decay time can be controlled by CV.

8. Patchbay
48 CV inputs and outputs for controlling many elements of the synthesizer and sequencer. Some modules provide advanced features

9. Two LFOs
Both LFOs support 6 waveforms. Can function in sync with the sequencer. Even very fast rates are available.

10. 3-track, 64-step sequencer
The sequencer controls Pitch, Gate, Velocity, and Pressure. Use Seq 2 or Seq 3 to generate signals of other types: Gates, CV, Pitch, LFO, Envelops. Available changes both in real time and step by step.

11. Pads and encoders
16 sensitive to the force and speed of the pads can be used as a keyboard or for entering sequencer steps. Encoders are used to edit the values for each step.

12. 64 patterns
In the memory of the device, cells of 64 patterns are available, divided into four banks. To create longer patterns or whole songs, patterns can be organized into strings.

13. Synchronization
MIDI, USB or analog external synchronization.

14. Arpeggiator/Looper
Create arpeggios on keys or dandruff in the sequencer. When you exit loops, synchronization is maintained, which is very convenient when performing

15. Audio in/out
Line outputs and headphone outputs.

16. MIDI In/Out
Connect and synchronize the MiniBrute with any DAW or hardware MIDI equipment.

17. USB input/output
Manage the MiniBrute with your DAW or use it as a midi keyboard.

New style of performance

Abandoning the traditional keyboard interface, Arturia designers were able to include in the MiniBrute 2S a powerful sequencing section. Thanks to the 64 steps, 3 levels and the ability to quickly, efficiently and easily create sequences, the MiniBrute 2S provides you with sync sequencing capabilities like no other device.
 
Save up to 64 melody steps with the main sequencer and add 2 additional levels of synthesis parameter control, all can be edited in real time right during the execution. Using modular inputs and outputs to get familiar with the capabilities of the Eurorack system, discover new ways for creative experiments. Save your favorite patterns and combine them together, creating whole tracks. Also MiniBrute 2S is equipped with a multi-mode arpeggiator that allows you to experiment with chord progressions, using tap tempo, metronome and synchronization, so that your sound will never fall out of the groove.

Whichever set of equipment you use, worked with DAW or a drum machine, MiniBrute 2S will support your inspiration and open up new creative possibilities!
