The filter reportedly is a little different, too, based on a Steiner-Parker multi-mode design.

Isn't that an old modular manufacturer?

cool! affordable too!

...wut

This.

it looks cool. i love the design.

Roland: take note.

Doesnt making a real analogue undermine Arturia's (implied) assertion that EVERY OTHER PRODUCT THEY MAKE is indistinguishable from analogue?

ugh just saw the pic. looks like a behringer controller

1 VCO?

Yay for sliders!

I'm assuming this will be in NAMM (it starts today I think), so more demos will probably pop up soon. Analogue signal path, multi-mode filter and plenty of hands-on control for $500... That's a steal.

Sounds like a nice bit of kit, but why oh why did they decide to make it so ugly :(

minibrute vs mopho keys vs minitaur

chuck waldorf pulse 2 in there as well.

edit: I don't know how it's priced though, but I suspect it'll be reasonably cheap.

Yeah if it sells they probably will.

Bit bizarre that he said it has a single oscillator when it has 4.

it's a single oscillator that kind of acts like four by magic

lol at the guy not understanding the concept of a completely analogue synth.

This thing looks so tasty. And the video is pretty funny hehe.

wow looks great. I think the fact that there are no presets will make people relate a lot more personally with it since you'll have to get a really good understanding of how it works rather than just punching through presets. Love it.

Hands-on impressions here

The Arturia Minibrute is about the size of an SH-101, maybe a touch smaller. It really reminds me of the Novation BassStation, sonically and features-wise. The keybed feels like ass on a platter, and it is about 8 keys short of playable, in my opinion.

lol
