Limited edition
Wired Analogue MutantThe Arturia MiniBrute 2 has developed from the iconic monosynth that changed the analog scene using mixable waveforms, Steiner-Parker filter, and Brute Factor. Now featuring semi-modular architecture, you can experiment further and experience its raw power into the world of Eurorack modular format.
Since the beginning of electronic instruments, synthesizers have extended and enhanced the possibilities available to musicians. Arturia have continued this approach with the sound of their new instrument along with the synthesizer itself. The Minibrute 2 features a huge sound whilst still compact, self-contained and versatile. An instrument proven to be both comprehensive and evolving.

From The Heart To The Hands
The brainchild of Arturia’s daring product manager Seb Rochard, born on the foundations of synth guru Yves Usson's unique approach to synthesis, MiniBrute 2 is truly designed and built by musicians for musicians. Every element of the synth, from its layout to the carefully chosen components, reflects their obsession to provide the most adaptable and enjoyable analog synth around. Here's a look at some of the controls and what they do...
VCO
1Sawtooth, Pulse and Triangle waves with unique modifiers and direct FM control. Ultra Saw makes for huge sounds, Metalizer adds complex harmonics to the triangle wave. FM generates rich tones.
VCO
2Selectable waveform between sine, saw and square. Multiple tuning modes for fine, coarse or LFO operation.
Oscillator
MixerAllows for mixing the levels of the individual waveforms of the oscillator 1 and 2, the noise generator and the external inputs.
Steiner-Parker Multimode FilterBeefy filter with Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Notch modes. Resonance can be pushed into self oscillation.
4 Stage EnvelopeADSR Type Envelope generator.
Brute Factor™The Brute Factor™ can add subtle drive effects to full blown intermodulation havoc.
AD EnvelopeThis modulator can generate AD, AHR or loopable envelopes. Its Attack and Decay times are CV-controllable, too.
Patchbay48 CV inputs and outputs to control many elements of the synthesizer and sequencer. Some utility modules provide extended possibilities.
Two LFOsBoth LFO supply 6 waveforms and can run in sync to the Sequencer. Very fast rates can be obtained.
Sequencer/ArpeggiatorFlexible sequencer or arpeggiator allows for instant melodic phrases. Syncs to MIDI clock over USB and MIDI In to play in sync with your favorite DAW.
Performance ControlsMod Wheel & Aftertouch destinations and Pitch Bend amounts can all be set.
Keyboard with Aftertouch25 note velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. Octave buttons allow transposition of up to 5 octaves.
Audio In/OutLine and headphones outputs.
MIDI In/OutConnect and sync MiniBrute to any DAW or hardware MIDI equipment.
USB In/OutControl MiniBrute from your DAW or use it as a master keyboard.

|---|---|
| Analog Audio Signal Path | 100%/td> |
| Multimode Filter | Steiner-Parker 12 dB per Octave (2-Pole): Low-Pass, Band-Pass, High-Pass, Notch Filter Controls: Cutoff Resonance Mode FM (Controls the Amplitude and Polarity of the Envelope Signal Sent to Modulate the Filter Cutoff Frequency) Resonance Modulation (RM): Modulates the Level of Resonance at the Cutoff Frequency, Prewired to LFO1 with Bipolar Control ATT 1 > Cutoff: Attenuator 1 Provides Another Way of Modulating the Filter Cutoff Frequency, Prewired Between Pressure-Sensitivity and the Filter Cutoff. |
| Oscillators | VCO1: Saw + UltraSaw, Square + Pulse width, Triangle + Metalizer (Waveform Mixing) VCO2: Sine, Saw, Square Waveforms VCO2 Tuning Range: Fine, All, LFO |
| Oscillator Mixer | Yes (Sawtooth, Square, Triangle, White Noise, External Audio In, Osc 2) |
| Signal Enhancers | VCO 1 Controls Fine Tune (Controls Pitch Over 1 Octave - Does Not Affect VCO 2) Glide (Portamento) Pulse Width (Alters Width of Square Wave) Metalizer (Bringing Extreme Triangle Harmonics) Frequency Modulation (FM) (Default VCO 2 Modulates VCO 1) UltraSaw Amount (Generates Shimmering Sawtooth Waveforms) PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) (Default LFO Modulates Pulse Width) Metal Mod (Default Velocity Controls Metal Amount) |
| LFO | LFO 1 and 2 Waveforms: Sine, Tri, Saw, Square, Random, Slew Random Clock Syncable to Sequencer/Arpeggiator |
