A MiniBrute Heir Designed for Modular
Following the MiniBrute spirit, the MiniBrute 2S takes the "everything at your fingertips" philosophy further by fully opening the door to external modulations. Its desktop format and semi-modular approach make it a natural bridge between a standalone analog synthesizer and the Eurorack universe. It can also integrate neatly into an Arturia environment via mounting compatibility with RackBrute, enabling the creation of an expandable instrument without losing clarity.Who Is the MiniBrute 2S For?
The MiniBrute 2S targets both experienced musicians seeking an expressive analog mono and creators in the learning phase who want to understand synthesis through practice. Without a traditional keyboard, it excels in styles where sequencing and modulation bring the sound to life: techno, electro, synthwave, ambient, IDM, modern pop, and sound design for visuals. In the studio, it becomes an inspiring analog source and processor thanks to its audio input. On stage, its pads, patterns, and chaining facilitate dynamic performances.- Side panels for improved grip

Questions frequently asked
Is the MiniBrute 2S BK compatible with a Eurorack system?
Its CV/Gate patchbay allows integration with external modules, while the format is compatible with mounting in a RackBrute. Patch cables are included to start connections.
How many tracks does the sequencer have?
The 64-step sequencer operates on 3 layers: melody, rhythm, and modulations. Real-time recording, quantization, step editing, and pattern chaining are available.
What type of sound does this analog synth offer?
The monophonic architecture is based on 2 VCOs, a noise source, and a 12 dB Steiner-Parker filter. Low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, and notch modes, combined with the Brute Factor, allow shaping the signal with saturation.
Can the Arturia MiniBrute 2S BK be played without a keyboard?
The 16 backlit velocity-sensitive pads allow chromatic playing and direct sequence editing.
What MIDI and audio connections are available?
Connectivity includes MIDI DIN IN/OUT and MIDI over USB for synchronization with external gear. An audio input enables processing a sound source through the analog circuit. Clock, CV, and Gate inputs and outputs complete modular integration.
