MiniBrute V

Arturia

Where to get itAvailable from Arturiaarturia.com

MiniBrute V is a circuit-level modeled analog synthesizer that faithfully reproduces the sound and behavior of the original hardware MiniBrute. It combines rich waveform sources (sawtooth, pulse, triangle, noise, and sub-oscillator), a Steiner-style resonant filter capable of self-oscillation, and extensive modulation capabilities including a tempo-syncable LFO and classic arpeggiator. The plugin's distinctive character comes from features like Ultrasaw (stacked sawtooth waves), Metalizer (harmonic folding), Brute Factor (filter overdrive), and Dispersion controls that add analog-style voice variation and warmth.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Sawtooth, pulse, triangle, and noise waveforms available simultaneously
02Sub-oscillator with sine and pulse waveform types
03Ultrasaw for thick, stacked sawtooth waves
04Metalizer transforms triangle wave into harmonically complex waveform
05Steiner-style resonant filter with lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch modes
06Brute Factor creates filter overdrive from subtle to extreme
07Four pedal effects slots with 17 effect types each
08Four Macros to control multiple parameters via single knob twist
09Unison mode with detune (2-8 voices)
10Six Dispersion trim knobs add non-linear analog qualities

Things to Try

  • 01Push oscillator mixer levels to high settings to drive the filter's non-linear and saturation characteristics for rude, aggressive tones
  • 02Use Unison with detune to introduce anything from subtle chorusing to an insect-swarm quality
  • 03Send aftertouch to the Filter cutoff for accenting synth solos by making certain notes brighter
  • 04Enable Mono Legato mode to play legato notes with the mellower filter tone while fully releasing and replaying notes triggers the brighter tone from the start of the Filter Envelope cycle
