Arturia MiniBrute 2

CurrentReleased 2018

A semi-modular analogue monosynth with 25 full-size keys, two oscillators, a Steiner-Parker filter and a 48-point patchbay that talks to Eurorack. Brute Factor feedback and Metalizer wavefolding give it a rough, aggressive edge. It suits someone who wants one capable keyboard monosynth that can grow into a modular setup.
