Product Description

Arturia anounces the upcoming release of Minibrute. MiniBrute is Arturia's new analog synthesizer. With a pure analog signal path and several innovative features, it sets a new standard for what a hardware synthesizer should be.

The pure analog, multi-wave oscillator combined with a huge sounding classic multi-mode filter, and wide range of modulation capabilities will bring new life into your recordings and stage performances.

Add to that outstanding features like the Ultrasaw, Metalizer, Brute Factor(tm), Arpeggiator, LFO with sample & hold, full USB/MIDI/CV connectivity; all of which are housed in a rugged metal enclosure and it is almost too brutal to think about!

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (4 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Go analog"
Overall: I had been wanting to get an analog synthesizer for a very long time. The synth itself seems like it's built to last. I got the minibrute and started having fun with it right out of the box. You definitely have to spend quality time with this instrument before you start pulling the truly amazing sounds out of it. My favorite thing about the minibrute is that there are no presets, no patches... so you've really got to feel the sounds out. I'd suggest this synth to you if you want great leads and sound effects, the bass is good and totally useable but not as amazing as the leads you can get with this thing.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
