Arturia Microbrute User’s Manual
8
We built the MicroBrute with the idea that many people need an easy to use synth
for live and studio purposes. But an easy to use synth must still retain excellent sound
quality and enough features to keep a sound designer busy for years. It is true that
MicroBrute is simple to use and allows anyone to tweak sounds and make music
without having to delve too deep into synthesis but it does not mean that the
experienced user will not be impressed with the sound possibilities that this little
powerhouse has.
The pure analog oscillators with the newly designed OVERTONE PLL offer more raw
tone generation options than many synthesizers in the $1000+ price range.
The multimode Steiner-Parker filter is the same design that is found on the MiniBrute.
The inventor, Nyle Steiner himself looked over our design and gave his stamp of
approval. Many synthesizers with large price tags only give you one filter mode;
MicroBrute gives you three. Add the MOD MATRIX patch bay, the multi wave LFO,
USB, MIDI and CV/Gate interfaces and the exciting new STEP SEQUENCER and you
have a product that meets or exceeds any other synthesizer in this price range,
EVER!
MicroBrute is all about top shelf sound quality, but with a musical interface that will
not intimidate and a price that will not break the bank.
MicroBrute is truly a musical instrument. We loved designing it, building it, and now,
playing it. We hope you will share our enthusiasm, and find inspiration in its sounds.
