ARTURIA SYNTHS & RACK
Arturia’s second iteration of MiniBrute is a 25-key analogue monosynth with two oscillators and a semi-modular architecture. MiniBrute 2 comes with mixable oscillators, the acidic Steiner-Parker filter, and the chaotic Brute Factor — features that made its predecessor a success when it was released in 2012. MiniBrute 2 also features Arturia Link, an innovation intended to help unify and democratise your creative environment. MiniBrute 2S is a Eurorack-ready hybrid synthesizer designed from the ground up with an intuitive triple-layered step sequencer and comprehensive mod matrix patchbay. Two VCOs generate its sound and it also features an ADSR envelope generator, Brute Factor harmonic drive control, two LFOs with multiple waveforms, and line/ headphone outputs. Bringing it together is RackBrute, a versatile, customisable, creative EcoSystem to bridge the gap between traditional synths and the world of modular through the new Arturia Link system found on both the MiniBrute 2 and MiniBrute 2S to lock in place.
