Arturia MINIBRUTE 2 Analogue Synthesizer

The product looks great, feels solid and very well manufactured: controls are smooth and precise, keyboard is wonderful for a synth. This isn't one of those synths which can't produce a bad sound - no shortcuts, no presets, no randomisation, though there is a "cook book" to help you get started. But the range of sounds you can produce is immense and the quality is excellent

After a little (really alot) of comparing synthesizers I finally chose this Arturia Minibrute 2. It's EVERYTHING AND MORE than expected. Build quality is solid, the dials, switches, sliders and inputs feel sturdy and the keys have just the rite feel/action. I chose this model because of its versatility and being semi modular it offers the ability to expand into the world of eurorack ecosystems where you can keep adding more and more and more modules for different effects. These synthesizer are nice also being more hands-on and having the ability to bypass or add certain effects with the patch bay and some 3.5 mm patch cables. I'm planning on adding a Behringer neutron or a Moog (either a Mother 32, DFAM, or Subharmonica, not sure yet). I could literally go on for hours and hours about this synth and still wouldn't come close to explaining all the power at your hands. Not only is this synthesizer AWESOME... I was in contact with PHOTO SAVINGS about some questions and they even got back to me when they were closed. I wasn't supposed to receive package until Friday and it was at my house on Tuesday. WOW !!! SUPER FAST!!! I will be making more purchase from PHOTO SAVINGS in the near future.

Seconde version du fameux Minibrute. Ce n'est pas juste une mise à jour, c'est une recréation, avec notamment un second VCO (parfait pour quelques dissonances et/ou de la sub-oscillation), un metalizer repensé (moins brouillon, plus précis), un clavier bien meilleur (le même que celui du MatrixBrute, mais avec 2 octaves) et surtout, surtout, un patch-bay de 48 connexions qui ouvre une large porte au modulaire. La partie arpégiateur/séquenceur est très simple d'utilisation et plutôt complète. Le synthé est livré avec un "livre de recettes*, recensant quelques configurations imaginées par des sound-designers, afin d'avoir sous la main quelques exemples de sonorités et pouvoir aborder le semi- modulaire en douceur. Le matériel est de très bonne qualité dans l'ensemble, même les parties en plastique. Attention, il prend un peu de place quand même.

This was a present for my grand-son. He loves it.

C'est très récent. Mon utulisation est pour l'instant dans un groupe musical et rock, mais je prévois dans des circonstances plus en Arts plastiques. Appareil fabuleux.

I got the “like new” used version and let me tell you. Saving the $200 was so worth it. Amazing as a midi controller and even better as a semi modular synth. I use this to make most of my lead, bass, and pluck sounds and can also produce some amazing sfx stuff. Top recommendation if you are looking into modular hardware
