Arturia's MiniBrute Red is a revolutionary analog synth. Featuring a pure analog signal path & a host of unique features, it sets a new standard for what a hardware synth should be
Bring the Noise
Designed for the analog purist, MiniBrute packs an extraordinary potential for warm and powerful sounds into a very portable design. Loaded with the legendary Steiner-Parker multimode filter, a multi-wave Oscillator and Sub Oscillator, MiniBrute excels at delivering fat bass lines, screaming leads and fascinating sonic experiments.
You can process any external sound through its audio input, making this a powerhouse for adding warmth, grit and filter effects to drums, guitars, and more.
Bring the Fun
In a world dominated by hardware with too few controls and endless navigation in tiny LCD screens, MiniBrute brings back the fun with a true hands-on approach to synthesis.
You want it louder Grab the volume knob and crank it up. You want it brighter Grab the filter cutoff knob and crank it up. You want your sound to grow fangs and snarl like a beast Grab the Brute Factor? knob and CRANK. IT. UP. It's that easy! No factory presets, no buried menus to deal with. MiniBrute is just honest and true analog synthesis.
Hands-On Heaven
Forget about tiny LCD screens, being lost in menus and sub-menus, and trying to remember double functions and complex procedures. MiniBrute brings back the fun and the immediate hands-on experience of synthesis.
When you want things to shake, grab the Sub Osc slider and bring it on. When you want it to sizzle, grab the filter knob and open it up. And when it's time to unleash the beast, grab the Brute Factor? knob and turn it loose! It's that easy.
