Arturia Minibrute 2S Noir Semi-Modular Sequencing Synth

Minibrute 2s Unrestrained Analog

The synth that kick-started the affordable analog revolution is reborn as an addictive, inspiring step-sequencing synth with huge modular capabilities.

An exciting evolution in the MiniBrute story, MiniBrute 2S stays true to the raw sound-shaping power of the iconic original, while adding thrilling new features and possibilities.

Combining the best elements of an analog synthesizer with an intuitive step-sequencer and exciting semi-modular architecture, MiniBrute 2S was made to inspire. Its parameters are clearly laid out and create sound that’s packed with personality and attitude. Its multi-pattern, triple-layer, 64-step sequencer offers exciting new ways of creating music, but takes the pain out of pattern programming.

Modular Powerhouse

Bringing the power of Eurorack modular to a new generation of musicians, MiniBrute 2S is truly a synth for the modular age.

More than the sum of its parts, MiniBrute 2S takes everything you know about synths and turns it upside-down, letting you rewrite the rules. Featuring a comprehensive modulation matrix with dozens of sources and destinations at your disposal, you can start rewiring its signal paths to conjure up truly exciting sounds that have never been heard before.

A Labor of love

MiniBrute 2S isn’t merely a ‘product’, it’s an obsession, a journey, and a commitment to give you one of the most rewarding synth experiences possible.

Straight from the minds of Arturia synth master Seb Rochard and industry legend Yves Usson, MiniBrute 2S unites their love of intuitive sequencing with their desire for raw synth power and studio connectivity.

Vco 1

Sawtooth, Pulse and Triangle waves with unique modifiers and direct FM control. Ultra Saw makes for huge sounds, Metalizer adds complex harmonics to the triangle wave. FM generates rich tones.

VCO 2

Selectable waveform between sine, saw and square. Multiple tuning modes for fine, coarse or LFO operation.

Oscillator Mixer

Allows for mixing the levels of the individual waveforms of the oscillator 1 and 2, the noise generator and the external inputs.

Steiner-Parker Multimode Filter

Beefy filter with Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Notch modes. Resonance can be pushed into self oscillation.

Stage Envelope

ADSR Type Envelope generator.

Brute Factor

The Brute Factor can add subtle drive effects to full blown intermodulation havoc.

AD Envelope

This modulator can generate AD, AHR or loopable envelopes. Its Attack and Decay times are CV-controllable, too.

Patchbay

48 CV inputs and outputs to control many elements of the synthesizer and sequencer. Some utility modules provide extended possibilities.

Two LFOs

Both LFO supply 6 waveforms and can run in sync to the Sequencer. Very fast rates can be obtained.

3-track, 64-step sequencer

The sequencer controls Pitch, Gate, Velocity and Pressure. Use Seq 2 or Seq 3 to generate other types of signals : Gates, CV, Pitch, LFOs, Envelopes. Real-time and step editing are available.

Pads and Encoders

16 Pressure and Velocity sensitive pads can be used as a keyboard or to enter steps in the sequence. Encoders are used to edit the values for each step.

64 patterns

64 pattern memories are available, organized in four banks. Create a chain of patterns to build longer patterns or even full songs.

Sync

Synchronize to external MIDI, USB or analog clock.

Arp/Loop

Generate arpeggios on the keys or loop a portion of the sequence. Everything stays in sync when you exit the loop, perfect for performance.

Audio In/Out

Line and headphones outputs.

MIDI In/Out

Connect and sync MiniBrute to any DAW or hardware MIDI equipment.

USB In/Out

Control MiniBrute from your DAW or use it as a master keyboard
