There's a second VCO as well, but it only has a tuning knob (switchable between LFO-range, coarse and fine tuning), and a waveform selection switch (sine, saw, square). The VCO has controls for fine-tuning, frequency modulation (sourced from VCO 2), glide, the chorus-like Ultrasaw effect, pulse-width as well as PWM and Metallizer/Metal Mod, which is roughly Arturia's take on triangle wavefolding. All three waveforms are simultaneously accessible and can be mixed together via short-throw faders. At its heart is the main VCO, which has sawtooth, square and triangle wave outputs. The main difference between the 2S and the regular MiniBrute 2 is that the latter's 25-key keyboard has been swapped out for a rather clunky-looking but capable step sequencer.īecause of how different the MiniBrute 2S is from its predecessor, it's worth treating it as a whole new synthesiser rather than simply noting changes. Despite having "mini" in its name, the MiniBrute 2S is a hefty piece of kit that feels destined for the studio rather than the gig bag (still, it is slightly lighter than the original model).
It was launched earlier this year as part of Arturia's RackBrute system alongside the MiniBrute 2 and two Eurorack cases, all of which can be mounted and transported together. The MiniBrute 2S bears little resemblance, physically or sonically, to its forbearer.
