Arturia MiniBrute 2 Semi-modular Analog Synthesizer

Overview 

Coming off the heels of the the original Minibrute, the Minibrute 2 offers an even bigger sound pallette alongside a semi-modular ensemble. It offers connections to CV/Gate as well as MIDI and USB, allowing it to flourish in all kinds of studio environments. At its analog core, Minibrute 2 consists of two variable wave VCO’s, Steiner-Parker filter and a four-stage ADSR envelope playable through a 25-key velocity sensitive keybed with aftertouch. Bring your wild side out with two LFO’s, an AD envelope, and a sequencer/arpeggiator made for complexity. Add your modular system to the mix; connect a Rackbrute unit via the Arturia Link system and create a customized synth ecosystem. With Minibrute 2, the sky is truly the limit.
