Arturia MiniBrute

Bought one last week - or actually I sold my Shergold
6-string Marathon bass for the same price, and used the
money to buy it.

This is the best unit I've ever had, and the most fun synth
I've tried. It's probably up next to a moog in hands on
tweaking, and the sound is lush. I have a Yamaha PSS480 FM
synth (it's kind of a toy, but with midi-in), which sounds a
bit like crap, but through the filter of the MiniBrute it
sounds like an incarnated DX7.

I'll never ever gonna sell this - it has already given me
classic Oizo-sounds, phat arps and the knowledge on how the
hell a synth actually works (there's no presets, so you get
used to getting around on the knobs).

Playing around with my SP-404 sampler, the PSS-480, my
Alesis Micron, delays, and the MiniBrute as the leader,
gives me a lot of rich sounding all-hardware sessions, just
by playing around. Really good for anyone looking at used
moogs, and especially SH101's, 'cause this baby comes with
warranty.

Oh, and it works well with external tempo on the arp and
filter, through ether MIDI-in or even USB. It has a build in
MIDI/USB-to-CV converter also.

Portishead's Adrian Utley gives a tour of the MiniBrute.

Adding the long verbs from the SP-404 has given me Clark
sounds, and tweaking with the self-feeding knob called the
"Brute Factor" gave me a total Autechre "Gantz Graf" sound.

I'd love to try it out. Really interested in DSI synths
right now, though. Leaning more toward spending some money
on an Evolver or maybe Tetra. The Minibrute does seem quite
nice, though it's a shame the knobs don't transmit midi CC.
Hopefully the music shops near me will stock them so I can
check it out.

Congrats on your synth-purchase-satisfaction, Junktion.
That's always a great feeling.
