Features of the MiniBrute 2

The expressive power of the now iconic MiniBrute oscillators has been enhanced in the MiniBrute 2 by the addition of a second oscillator. A Steiner-Parker filter delivers the ACID sound, and the chaos-inducing Brute Factor – highly praised by many fans – is also on board to create the unmistakable MiniBrute 2 character. But it’s not just the synthesis engine that’s been upgraded; the modulation options have been expanded too: A second VCO, a second LFO, expanded filter modulation options and a brand-new AD envelope with a loop function. These features are ideal for assertive sequences with cutting lead sounds, as well as for creating soft pad sounds and purring basslines.

Hands-on Synthesiser Fun

Thanks to its intuitive, user-friendly interface, it’s simply a joy to explore the raw power of the MiniBrute 2 and understand it in a playful way, making the instrument equally suitable for music enthusiasts and sound explorers taking their first steps, as well as for advanced applications by music producers and live performers. With hands-on access to all parameters, you can blend your oscillators, let the filters warble, sync the LFOs and control the envelopes. The MiniBrute 2 lets you turn the sounds from your imagination into reality.

Discover the modular world

The modular world of Eurorack synthesisers is enjoying huge and ever-growing popularity. Ideally, the MiniBrute 2’s dozens of modulation sources and destinations can be seamlessly integrated into modular systems thanks to the modular patchbay. Whether you want to experiment with the internal parameters in a modular setup or synchronise external equipment with the internal sequencer, the possibilities are virtually endless.

Arturia Link – EcoSystem

With Arturia Link, you can create an easily transportable and robust EcoSystem by combining the MiniBrute 2 with a single-row RackBrute 3U or a double-row RackBrute 6U Eurorack enclosure. The MiniBrute 2 is connected to the RackBrute enclosure via a special profile, forming a single unit. During transport, the internal modules of your EcoSystem are well protected thanks to high-quality and robust construction. A separately available carry bag completes the EcoSystem range.
