Product Description
The Arturia MiniBrute V not only recreates the distinctive analog grit of its hardware predecessor but elevates it with modern flexibility, expanded polyphony and a built-in FX rack - add the brute spirit to your production.
MONO MIGHT POLY POWER
MiniBrute V mirrors the revolutionary spirit of its forebear and amplifies it in the digital domain - bringing unmatched warmth and grit to today's music makers. Arturia have ensured that MiniBrute V doesn't just emulate; it innovates, providing a sonic experience that goes above and beyond its hardware counterpart. From state-of-the-art circuit modeling and innovative digital enhancements to adjustable polyphony and iconic features like the Steiner-Parker filter - it's all there.
Harness the Brute force of the original MiniBrute with added polyphony. MiniBrute V offers the same uncompromising analog sound, now capable of complex chord voicings and layered textures that go beyond its monosynth DNA. Feel the immediacy and depth of analog synthesis through MiniBrute V’s streamlined signal path, making it incredibly easy to play and program - ensuring all users from beginners to pros can unleash their creativity without barriers
Twist and transform MiniBrute V’s analog energy with an all-in-one FX rack. It features 4 FX slots and 17 FX types to further shape and enhance your sound. From subtle reverb to stacked distortion, go from clean to downright mean. MiniBrute V’s factory library has been designed by esteemed synthesists and analog pros alike, staying faithful to the original while pushing the envelope of what’s possible - from high voltage basses and leads to soaring pads and metallic effects.
EMBODYING AN ANALOG REVIVAL
With the aim of bringing back the fun and immediate hands-on experience of synthesis - MiniBrute arrived. Released in 2012, when analog innovation was in a lull, MiniBrute set out to reinvigorate and revolutionize the scene with its small, affordable analog architecture that could be used by beginners and pros alike.
Co-designed and engineered by craftsman synth legend Yves Usson, MiniBrute included unique hardware and features that were previously only available on more expensive units and modular designs, such as the classic Steiner-Parker filter and metalizer.
ORIGINAL CONTROLS BEAUTIFULLY REALIZED
Retaining the beloved layout of the original, MiniBrute V offers new ways to interact with its roaring sound, providing a familiar experience while adding powerful new features. The result? A synth that covers sizable sonic ground, with easy-access sound design and extensive FX options.
- Pure VCO power: Mix up to 4 different waveshapes and a sub-oscillator for added punch, alongside signal enhancers such as the Ultrasaw and Metalizer
- Steiner-Parker: Known for its bold, aggressive sound, the Steiner-Parker filter maintains a relatively strong signal even at high resonance settings allowing for a wide tonal range
- Brute factor: Go from smooth and gentle distortion to barely controllable, crazy feedback, with this iconic signal overdrive
- Envelope sliders: Harking back to classic synth models from the 1970s and 1980s, MiniBrute’s envelope sliders have been faithfully recreated - precise and easy to use as ever
- Adjustable polyphony: Standing out among its single-VCO counterparts, MiniBrute V takes the monosynth power and ups the ante with 8-voices to play with - for lush chords and harmonics
- Unison: Another new feature not available in hardware is Unison, engage to create huge mono sounds and add a detune effect
