Benchmarking what an analogue monosynth could (and should) be in the modern musical age, awards aplenty and sales success soon came calling as \u003Cstrong>MiniBrute\u003C\u002Fstrong> rapidly established itself as \u003Cstrong>Arturia\u003C\u002Fstrong>’s hardware calling card, helping heat up competition in the productive process as rival manufacturers followed the trendsetting company’s lead. Low and behold, another analogue renaissance was soon in full flow. Only this time it was time for new designs to take the lead over vintage synths.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>So what made \u003Cstrong>MiniBrute\u003C\u002Fstrong> so special then and continues to do so today — so much so that heavily-occupied and obsessive online communities have grown around this ever-popular product on Facebook (\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FMiniBruteArturia?fref=ts\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FMiniBruteArturia?fref=ts\u003C\u002Fa>) and SoundCloud (\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsoundcloud.com\u002Fgroups\u002Farturia-minibrute-users\">https:\u002F\u002Fsoundcloud.com\u002Fgroups\u002Farturia-minibrute-users\u003C\u002Fa>)? Undoubtedly, an awesome-sounding 100 percent analogue audio signal path plays a major musical part in this progressing popularity. After all, it includes an \u003Cstrong>OSCILLATOR MIXER\u003C\u002Fstrong> (with \u003Cstrong>Sub Osc\u003C\u002Fstrong>, sawtooth, square, triangle, white noise, and \u003Cstrong>Audio In\u003C\u002Fstrong>) and a classic Steiner-Parker multimode \u003Cstrong>FILTER\u003C\u002Fstrong> (with \u003Cstrong>LP\u003C\u002Fstrong>, \u003Cstrong>BP\u003C\u002Fstrong>, \u003Cstrong>HP\u003C\u002Fstrong>, and \u003Cstrong>Ntch\u003C\u002Fstrong> settings) — as approved by Nyle Steiner, inventor of the EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument) and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) — that helps set its sound apart from those similar-sounding rivals. Real analogue innovations include a \u003Cstrong>Metalizer\u003C\u002Fstrong> control (to add complex harmonics to the triangle waveform), \u003Cstrong>Ultrasaw Amt\u003C\u002Fstrong> and \u003Cstrong>Ultrasaw Rate\u003C\u002Fstrong> controls (to add a lively and bright ensemble effect to the sawtooth waveform), and a \u003Cstrong>Brute Factor™\u003C\u002Fstrong> control (to add anything from subtle overdrive to wreaking full-blown intermodulation havoc). It is flexible features such as these that ensure \u003Cstrong>MiniBrute\u003C\u002Fstrong> makes its own musical mark alongside analogue monosynths deemed worthy of legendary status, such as the Roland SH-101, and Sequential Circuits Pro-One, as well as the ARP Odyssey and Korg MS-20 (and their recent reboots).\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Relatively unreliable by comparison, yesteryear’s sometimes shaky analogue monosynths remain highly-sought-after second-hand instruments, thanks to their warmth, fatness, and striking sonic characteristics. Classy and classic in its own right, \u003Cstrong>MiniBrute\u003C\u002Fstrong>’s stable and awesome analogue sound still holds its highly-musical head up high when pitted against the best of them with a flexible feature set belying its diminutive dimensions: \u003Cstrong>LFO\u003C\u002Fstrong> (with six waveforms and bi-polar modulation destinations); secondary LFO (with three \u003Cstrong>VIBRATO\u003C\u002Fstrong> modes); \u003Cstrong>FILTER ENVELOPE\u003C\u002Fstrong> and \u003Cstrong>AMPLIFICATION ENVELOPE\u003C\u002Fstrong> (each with \u003Cstrong>Attack\u003C\u002Fstrong>, \u003Cstrong>Decay\u003C\u002Fstrong>, \u003Cstrong>Sustain\u003C\u002Fstrong>, and \u003Cstrong>Release\u003C\u002Fstrong>); 25-note keyboard (with aftertouch); external analogue \u003Cstrong>AUDIO In\u003C\u002Fstrong>(put); and \u003Cstrong>ARPEGGIATOR\u003C\u002Fstrong> (with four \u003Cstrong>Modes\u003C\u002Fstrong>, four-\u003Cstrong>Octave\u003C\u002Fstrong> range control, six \u003Cstrong>Step\u003C\u002Fstrong> time divisions, and \u003Cstrong>Swing\u003C\u002Fstrong> control) — all comfortably contained in a highly-portable device merely measuring 390 x 325 x 70mm, and weighing in at 4kg.

Consciously priced to go at €549.00 EUR\u002F$549.00 USD… normally. Now, the must-have \u003Cstrong>MiniBrute\u003C\u002Fstrong> can be bought for only €399.00 EUR\u002F$399.00 USD, thanks to \u003Cstrong>Arturia\u003C\u002Fstrong>’s attractive ‘Brutal Offer’ — offering an unmissable and unbeatable time-limited €150.00 EUR\u002F$150.00 USD discounted promotional pricing campaign running between May 4 and June 30, 2015, inclusive. It is definitely a new classic to be musically reckoned with! Why not ask prolific Italian DJ\u002FProducer Stefano Ritteri? He’s certainly sold on the innovative instrument in question. Quite simply, \u003Cstrong>MiniBrute\u003C\u002Fstrong> is making its musical mark amongst many more famous users from far-reaching genres, including British techno DJ\u002Fproducer and radio presenter Dave Clarke, synth-pop Svengali Vince Clarke (Erasure\u002Fex-Depeche Mode and Yazoo), Unkle’s Pablo Clements, Air’s Jean-Benoit Dunckel, French techno artist\u002FDJ Gesaffelstein, Dutch producer\u002Fremixer Junkie XL, American alt rockers Passion Pit, Portishead’s Adrian Utley, and many more besides.
