Analog
El MicroBrute es nuevo, pero lleva en su interior la galardonada herencia de su hermano mayor, el MiniBrute.
El MicroBrute se diseñó para ocupar poco espacio pero a la vez conservar una calidad de sonido asombrosa. Con su ruta de voz 100 % analógica y la conectividad avanzada a través de MIDI, USB y CV/Gate, esta máquina es todo un super sintetizador que llevará tu sonido a otro nivel.
Hands-On
Heaven
Si no tienes experiencia en el mundo de los sintetizadores, estás ante uno de los instrumentos más fáciles de usar y con un sonido más único que el dinero puede pagar (o al menos es lo que pensamos).
Y si tienes experiencia en el mundillo, seguro que no has pasado por alto que el MicroBrute también es toda una bestia secuenciable semimodular de lo más capaz. Espera a escuchar cómo suena.
Sin presets, sin menús, sin nada que se interponga entre ti y la capacidad de moldear tu sonido en vivo. El MicroBrute no solo te da los medios para crear, actuar y ser totalmente original cada vez que lo enciendes: además, lo hace con una calidad de sonido asombrosa.
Brutal
Potential
Procesa audio. Secuencia equipos analógicos.
Dale a tu sistema modular un nuevo LFO y un nuevo generador de envolventes. Conéctate a tu DAW y crea temas enteros. Conecta tus pistas de batería, abre la puerta y monta un concierto entero.
Pequeño en tamaño y en precio, gigantesco en sonido y potencial. Nosotros ya nos hemos divertido de lo lindo con el MicroBrute: ahora te toca a ti.
The Brute
into details
Un sintetizador es un instrumento musical hecho para tocarlo.
Sin embargo, tocar un sintetizador es algo más que tocar unas cuantas notas en un teclado y cargar presets hechos por otra persona. Si ese fuera el objetivo, te apañarías con un acordeón o te irías a unos grandes almacenes a comprarte un teclado (y, de paso, unos calcetines, leche y papel higiénico). Pero no has hecho nada de eso, porque tu creatividad te pide algo más..

Slow Beat
Pierce Warnecke
An electro/hiphop track that explores Microbrute's possibilities as a Lead synth (using 2 voice lead part and modulation on both the PWM and Metalizer via the MOD Matrix). All sounds except for the kick/snare/clap/hat were made using Microbrute.
Space House
Pierce Warnecke
This slow house/disco inspired track uses exclusively Microbrute sounds (except for the drums). From deep basses to bubbling pops, sequenced acid-like synth lines to distorted effects, this is an overview of the range of sounds one can get out of this power.
Here Comes the Sun
The melody is a saw-tooth wave with alot of ultrasaw modulation and bandpass-filtering. The filter sweeping was recoreded live and effected later. The first melody was later on recorded twice with further sub-overtones.

"I love the sound of the original, and MicroBrute's got that character and can be even wilder. You can get all kinds of musical interactions with other analog gear and drum machines. Combine the two together and you're rocking..."
Hideki Matsutake
Sound Engineer
"Its a SMALL GIANT! I love the MicroBrute!!"
Roger Manning Jr.
Keyboardist
"Once again Arturia has given me the best of both worlds with MicroBrute. It's blowing minds at both my recordings session and in concert. The perfect compliment to my already diverse rig."
Anthony Gonzalez

"It is actually the best thing on earth for travelers. Being able to record anytime with a beautiful sounding analog synth is just priceless! Try to connect MicroBrute to the minibrute then it opens a world of new possibilities. Great job Arturia !"
Terry Lawless
U2
"MicroBrute takes me back to the joy I felt when I pushed that first key and a saw wave spoke back to me. MicroBrute allows for more than 100% values of such things as keyboard tracking. MicroBrute melds the best in a compact little powerhouse."
Sandra Vu
Dum Dum Girls
"The small form factor is disproportionate to the massive sound you can get out of MicroBrute. Having used many Arturia soft synths, this is a great piece to transition from a laptop. Turn the switch and go."
Chris Cross
Ultravox
"For me, a Synthesizer that has no presets is an adventure every time. MicroBrute is a recipe for audio joy. MicroBrute soon becomes a real electronic instrument, that develops with your knowledge and expertise."
PJ Morton
Maroon 5
"There's nothing like having the touch of knobs and buttons under your fingertips. MicroBrute working right along with the MiniBrute just takes it over the top. It's already started to inspire new ideas with my writing and production."
Tara Busch
I Speak Machine
"This mighty little machine runs the gamut from metallic, brutal bass to velvety bleepy, bloopy goodness - and is a sheer joy to play. Very inspiring!"
André Bowman

"Big, ballsy sound! Arturia has another sonic monster on its hands!"

"If there is a keyboard name that suits well, it is the MicroBrute. Mini keyboard for big warm tones. Intuitive, fast, fun. A really good CV."
Keith Shocklee
Public Enemy
"The craziest part about it is that I can put it in my backpack and yet it's a true analog synthesizer. That's what I was waiting for. I microsized my all setup. Microsized ! That's not even a word !"
Nina Kraviz
DJ / Producer
"I liked MicroBrute because it is small and portable and it is useful for me because I am always on the road. It Is very simple but it has a very strong signal and great filter. I can make it sound very my own and unique."
Joris Delacroix
DJ / Producer
"A small and affordable little synth that is very fun to use and that can find its own place thanks to a real saturation and incisive sound."
