Arturia MiniBrute 2 Semi Modular Synth - SonicLAB Review

Question : i want to buy a Drum Machine, but... do you know if this synth can make 909 kicks or 808 kicks? I mean loving this can do and if it can do kicks variations would be just my 1st option

Thank you Nick, I always love your videos .

The looping envelope, the larger patchbay, the keystep-like sequencer..I’m in!

That bottom end tho ;p

I love all of his terms for bass lol

I did a firmware update and then it died

How do I get that oscilloscope that you've got running on that tv?

Why always reverb?

Hello! Could anyone please tell me what is the oscilloscope software used in this video?

what soft u use for oscilloscoping

I REALLY was uninspired by the sound of the first Minibrute. I almost never sell synths or samplers that I buy, I always find a particular use. But I sold this synth, and I didn't even regret it afterwards. Anyone else feel the same way about the first minibrute?

But my question is, a year and a half after the release of this synth and this video, how did this synth do in the market? A lot sold? Are studios across the world filled with Minibrute 2's? Does this brute sound better than the first? Honestly, I shot out my minibrute vs several vst's, and the vst's won out for SOUND and ease of use/convenience. I cannot say that about my other synths. But I am mildly interested in the 2, the sequencer is a really vital addition to the synth, really opens up possibilities but then with the limited sequence storage, it seems more like a studio piece rather than a live piece. I don't know, your thoughts?

What an utterly pointless instrument. I want one so bad!

How would this compare to the bass station 2?

I bought one of these and the thing that I am disappointed with is that the mod wheel only modulates the pitch with a slight vibrato rather than going into the wild range that most mod wheels can add.

Hello!
Does the Minibrute 2 has a HOLD function for drone of just 1 note?
I know it can "hold" the arpegiator, but I need to Drone 1 note.
The original minibrute had a 3 way switch on the back for this.
The microbrute had a trick for this connecting the gate out into gate in.
But I cant seem to imagine how to drone 1 note with the Minibrute 2.
Thanks ! on this depends if I buy one or not.

what oscilliscope is he using or can someone tell me which one i should get for my minibrute2\

I'm a complete noob to this stuff, but can you record sound samples lets say water puring in a cup and then assing this to a key, and change it with all the different modes?

I think you sold me this beauty!

Would this be an added and beneficial addition to a Gaia ?

For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would buy a synth especially with such flexibility but does not save patches, it is beyond my comprehension I guess. I have been playing synths since the 1990s but do not understand the classic Moogs and these synths. Moog finally woke up and produced synths which allow you to save patches. Arturia apparently does not want to except for their massive Matrixbrute. Too bad because I really like the sound so the Minibrute 2. I understand that you can't save the patch cords, well guess what the Matrixbrute solved that problem.

i've never heard of bass described as "doof". I like it.
i've had my minibrute 2 for a year now and i'm still just watching because i like nick's reviewing.

What’s the best recommended cable for this beast? Anyone

i was genuinely surprised with the build quality of my microbrute, after i had my hands on it i started paying more attention to arturia

Picked up a second hand 2S. It is a fabulous bit of kit. Now, if I can just find a second hand 3U or 6U ............

Sonic State makes some of the best demos. I also love the straight to the point and detailed descriptions :-). The Microbrute 2/2S sounds insane with reverb pedals.

Know your Notch

Love the demo. Meandering...love it!

Thank you Nick. Yep, I get the Low end all right, something I thought the original "Brutes" lacked somewhat. I can definitely feel the bass in this, no problem at all. I'm loving this, another great video, thank you my friend.

Great stuff! It's surprising how many guys demo synths who have zero musicality. You are not one of them!

Hi , putting the keyboard and sequencer aside,

1) which one sounds generally better: Mimibrute 2
or EreBus 3 (oscilators, filters, etc).

2) which one is more versatile for sound design?

Thanks!

sounds like shit

I totally agree with the Oscillator 2 tune knob being too close to the LP Filter knob…I’ve grabbed it by accident 3 times now during a live gig! And gave it a solid twist. Ye Gods!!!

Arturia’s purist approach to (sound) quality makes this a challenging and intriguing instrument

This thing is fantastic after a few lengthy workouts. All the classic techno, fm, space etc tones can be absolute perfection with this instrument.

Had this synth for a year and love it more every time I use it, just wish I had more time

Awesome!

Minibrte 2 or Bass Station 2? Hmmm...

Nick's a Mini Brute😉

Is this Monophonic?

Is it polyphon?

Next time my dog jumps up and chews my arm, I'm going to ask her if she's a MiniBrute.

My fav synth explorer 😊

Late to the party but this demo caused me to 'pull the Trigger '
Great demo might have to plump for the Ventris. You're a cruel man Mr Batt and no mistake, dont know how you manage to sleep at night 😅

The Bass on these things is ridiculous. Exactly what I was after lol.
