Arturia MiniBrute 2S

CurrentReleased 2018

The desktop version of the MiniBrute 2, swapping the keyboard for 16 pressure-sensitive pads and a three-track, 64-step sequencer. The analogue voice and 48-point patchbay are the same, so it can sequence and modulate a Eurorack system as well as play its own sound. It suits people who build tracks from sequences rather than playing keys.
