Arturia is one of few vendors that can maintain both music hardware and software – with the added benefit of comparative youth. Where Roland and (to a lesser extent) Korg remain shackled by their past, rolling out anxious re-fabrications of the Jupiter 8 et al. the French are in parallel with their new offerings. The MiniFreak\/MiniFreak<\/em><\/a> is current in both realms, their V collectio<\/a>n<\/em> can be performed on the new AstroLab keyboard or your laptop – and here comes a virtual Brute<\/strong><\/em> – once the code for their analogue hardware – but as a Lab<\/em><\/strong> – the software. BruteLab<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s been a steady growth in the Brute hardware, from the original Mini, the Mini 2, Micro, Maxi and Poly. This is the original MiniBrute but with 8 voice polyphony. Not the PolyBrute – which has two oscillators expanded to offer morphing and (my bete noir<\/em>e) an extra traditional ladder filter. You do get the recent effects section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardware PolyBrute is lovely I’m sure<\/a> – but the cost is hardly fleacore<\/a>. I’m sure they have already engineered a complete PolyBrute V<\/em> in software but Marketing would be unimpressed if that got out. No matter – the MiniBrute V<\/em> creates a grand variety of noise with great flair. Not all virtual analogues are interesting. The good ones have grump or grouch or in this case a certain enunciation which I think is the Steiner filter – plus the effects which put a gleam over the sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing profound here. No wavetables (go to Pigments<\/a><\/em> for that – or Vital<\/a><\/em> just as much) and no digital malarkey. It’s just a really nice analogue style poly, which really should be your choice before any more vintage Rolands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
