Arturia confesses the analogue circuitry couldn’t possibly attain the sound it achieves from battery power. Yet, the little beast must be mains powered.
It measures a mere 325 by 221mm and sports a mini, 25-key keyboard, so it’s quite back-packable. Like Arturia’s website suggests, the MicroBrute looks tiny, yet sounds massive (it really does). The MicroBrute is a scaled down version of Arturia’s MiniBrute, and consequently loses a few features such as the separate filter and amplitude envelopes, full-size keys and dual LFOs, yet gains features such as a step-based pattern sequencer in lieu of the arpeggiator. While some manufacturers are busily redesigning the analogue synth wheel, some are simply maintaining designs with one foot firmly planted in the past - this second category is where I believe the MicroBrute takes a seat. It’s the courageously cute, the decidedly diminutive, and marvellously minuscule MicroBrute from Arturia. Oh, I do say! A fabulous little analogue synth has crept into my man-cave, and I’m all the happier for it.
