ARTURIA MINIBRUTE 2S ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

Description: Selling my Arturia Minibrute 2s it has been kept in excellent condition all knobs and sliders are intact and in great condition. the 2S is the module (no keys) version of the Minibrute. I am including the synth, a power cord, a usb cord and 9 patch cables. This unit operates by usb and Midi control. Software can be downloaded free of charge on Arturia's website. The unit can be controlled and configured by other midi equipment by using Arturia's free control center software. The control center lets you create and save custom mappings for the various knobs and controls on different devices and different projects. I used this unit with Korg Kronos and it synced well with the kronos midi parameters. There is a side lock mount plate for additional acessories not included so that other arturia devices can be used and mounted into a rack style layout. The midi control can be a challenge, it would be helpful for the buyer to be familiar with operating and controlling midi equipment. please make sure you understand setting up with other devices. nothing that cannot be learned it is always part of the fun. The sequencer is awesome and it has quite a lot of features overall this unit is great for those who want raw and experimental type analog synth sounds. My only gripe on this unit is the Tempo knob is touchy. part of this is making sure the settings are correct it took me a while to grasp the sequencer and the oscillators are independent from each other. when under sync with the midi clock it's a lot of fun. The patch cables let you play with having knobs and controllers,and route sound in unlimited ways & possibilities. This unit has been carefully packed and is ready to ship. HERE'S ARTURIAS DESCRIPTION OF THE MINIBRUTE 2SThere’s no doubting the legacy and lasting impression the original MiniBrute left on the industry.The MiniBrute was a statement. An organic, tangible breath of fresh air, a proud analog monument among the slew of sound-a-like synths that had flooded the market. Arturia’s ethos has always been to create exciting, meaningful instruments; instruments that traditional synth companies simply wouldn’t release. If we were going to recreate a legend, the 2nd generation of MiniBrute needed to be raw, exciting, and more than a little bit scary.Born out of necessity, MiniBrute 2S was designed to bridge the gap between the more traditional synth world and the ever-evolving modular scene. Creating a sort of ‘creative glue’ that would fuse these two creative processes together, making something new and exciting.Once again, MiniBrute is the catalyst for change.PieceBy PieceDeceptively simple, but loaded with advanced synthesis power, MiniBrute 2S’ signal path and sound control abilities are set to become the stuff of legend.To synth-heads, sound creators, and musical visionaries, a synthesizer’s architecture can sometimes be as exciting as the sound of the instrument itself. Thanks to the semi-modular nature of the MiniBrute 2S, there’s even more to sate your technical appetite. You didn’t choose the ‘details’ page by accident, you’re here for all of the gory details. Here, we lay it all bare._1_2_3_4_01. OSCILLATORS_02. FILTERS_03. LFO_04. ENVELOPEMeetThe OscillatorsIt all starts from somewhere, and the Oscillator & OSC Mixer panel on MiniBrute 2S let you create the foundations of your sound.Since the original MiniBrute, one of the core ‘Brute’ features has been the ability mix and shape multiple waveforms to create a huge variety of sonic results. With MiniBrute 2S, now you can even mix in a second VCO as well as an external sound source. This core building block is one of this synth’s most defining features, and the ability to tweak and personalize them makes MiniBrute 2S one of the most capable, versatile synthesizers around. Each standard waveform can even be augmented with a dedicated “sound shaper” parameter, taking basic, age-old synth sounds to the next level.White NoiseAdding another level of creative possibilities, the white noise generator can add a little airy texture or rather a stormy buzz to a sound. A little noise here and there can give your patch depth and help push your filter. It also opens up vast synth-drum sound possibilities.Frequency ModulationMiniBrute 2S also gives you the ability to apply some frequency modulation to the VCO 1. By default, this can be done from VCO 2’s signal, but you can also use practically any source via the CV/Gate modulation patch bay. Create anything from subtle vibrato and tonal changes to full-blown audio chaos.VCO 2The 2nd VCO lets you choose between sine, saw, and square waves. Benefitting from an independent tuning setting, it will either let you add subtle harmonics to the sound, harden it through fine detuning or even create wide pitch intervals from sub-oscillation to high pitched overtones. It can even operate as a third LFO thanks to the appropriate range option. Just like the other sound sources, the level of this oscillator can be adjusted using the OSC Mixer so that you can choose freely between using it only as a sound source, only as a modulation source and anything in between.VCO2-All RangeVCO2-PitchSawtooth & UltrasawThe bite of the Brute, the sawtooth is a classic, aggressive waveform with harsh elements that cut through a mix with ease, and its rich harmonic content reacts beautifully to being filtered. The related ultrasaw sound-shaper thickens up the saw wave, changing the profile of its ‘teeth’ with detuned twins of the original wave. This adds a really fat, widescreen feel to the sound, fleshing out your tone and creating an altogether different beast.The Ultrasaw Amount knob controls the amplitude of the twin waves while the related modulation source, by default LFO 2, controls their level of detuning around the initial saw.Square & Pulse WidthAnother synth standard, the square wave has a sound of extremes. Beefy, sharp, and bright at the same time, the square wave has an energetic, instantly-usable timbre. Widely used in vintage video games, MiniBrute 2S gives you the tools you need to teleport this iconic sound into the 21st century. Alter the Pulse Width to go from a square to a rectangle and even a pure pulse wave resulting in a seamless transition in the harmonic content.You can determine the pulse width both statically thanks to the Pulse width knob and in a variable way through a modulation source, the LFO 1 by default, and the related modulation amount knob.Triangle & MetalizerThe triangle wave is generally the go-to waveform for creating softer, more subtle tones. Gentle on the ears, sounds based on the triangle have a sort of dreamy, other-worldly feel. While you’ll no doubt appreciate the softer side and sonic variety of MiniBrute 2S, we also included the Metalizer sound-shaper to ruin the triangle wave’s day. Based on the principle of wave folding, it adds shearing, harsh metallic overtones, lending itself perfectly to hot bass sounds and screaming leads.For that extra level of control, in addition to setting a static Metalizer offset, you can let the velocity or any other modulation source control its level. Imagining the expressive depth of a soft, delicate Triangle waves evolving into raucous, powerful metallic stabs as you play harder.Patch ItUpOne of the most uniquely thrilling aspects of MiniBrute 2S is its impressively comprehensive CV/Gate patch matrix.Even if the only things you connect to MiniBrute 2S are the power adapter and headphones, you’ll still be able to create out-of-this-world sounds. Every component and feature has its own dedicated assignation, set by the exceptional synth minds at Arturia. If you want to break the mold and go off the beaten track, you can start patching and creating exciting, and often surprising connections.Your first option consists in overriding the default, internal assignments by connecting a patch cable from one of the white-highlighted sources to any destination you choose. Let’s say you want something else to control the Metalizer amount other than velocity, LFO 1 for example. Just connect the related CV connections and you’re done.Is there anything easier? Probably not, so go ahead, experiment, and find all those new connections that send shivers down your spine. There are practically limitless combinations and exciting sounds to discover, and that’s even before we start to involve external modular equipment.Fully compatible with all Eurorack modules and CV/Gate-enabled audio gear, you can simultaneously bring in signals to alter the sound of MiniBrute 2S, and affect other modules using MiniBrute 2S’ sources.This synth has been designed from the ground up to become your hub of creative experimentation.Step InLineNot content with making a revolutionary synth in its own right, we included one of the most intuitive, powerful, and fun sequencers to make the ultimate creative tool.MiniBrute 2S features a dedicated, sophisticated sequencer, with one layer for melody, and two more layers for sequencing parameter controls, all editable in real-time as you perform. MiniBrute 2S also features an arpeggiator with multiple modes, tap tempo, and rock-solid sync, so you’ll never drop the beat.You’re a modern musician, and you feel more at home with buttons and pads than a traditional keyboard interface. We gave the MiniBrute 2S tactile velocity & pressure sensitive pads so that you can create dynamic sequences with as much natural, human feel as you like.01. The Sequencer TracksMiniBrute 2S gives you three times the control, with three unique tracks that allow you to add more depth and control to your sequences.The first track works much as you’d expect: adding note information, and letting you build up the musical element of your sequence. This track contains pitch, gate, velocity, and pressure information.The second and third tracks are dedicated “mod” tracks that run simultaneously to the first. Track 2 overrides the velocity of track 1 and makes it independent, and track 3 does the same of track 1’s pressure value. Both of these tracks can be assigned via the modulation patch bay to control the destination of your choice. Rhythmically spread the width of your Square wave, trigger screeching LFO hits, Create an undulating harmony with VCO 2. Everything is up to you, and the possibilities are as limitless as they are exciting.02. Pattern ChainingWhen you create a solid sequence, you can of course save your work. Once you’ve got a collection of sequences under your belt, MiniBrute 2S lets you chain them together to create full tracks.Chain up to 16 saved sequences together, each up to 64 steps in length, in any order you like. The pattern chain loops, creating a never-ending performance cycle that’s entirely under your control. MiniBrute 2S is truly performance-focussed, hugely creative instrument.03. Arpeggiator & LoopThe multi-mode arpeggiator lets you quickly create looping patterns that flow from the notes you play using the pads. The pattern can play forwards, backwards, in an alternating combination, and randomly, and at multiple time resolutions.04. Editing & Recording ModesIntuitive, hands-on, and joyous, MiniBrute 2S’s sequencer features several editing and recording modes, giving you the tools you need to fully channel your creativity.Standard editing : When you hit the Record button, using the pads will activate or deactivate the steps, the knob is used to control the track’s functions.Real-time recording : Hitting Shift and Record will enable real-time recording. In this mode, the pads let you perform notes and adjust the octave, while using the knob lets you change the value of the track’s main function. Holding Shift and moving the turning the knob will change the value of the track’s additional function.Scale editing : This lets you adjust the scale of the sequencer tracks that are set on “Pitch”, locking them to a particular scale. On top of the included scales, it’s also possible to create a custom, user-defined scale by using the Arturia MIDI Control Center.
