Arturia MiniBrute 2 Analog Synthesizer
The Arturia MiniBrute 2 is a semi-modular monophonic analog synthesizer with a fast 25-note keyboard, built around Arturia's gritty Brute oscillators and a characterful Steiner-Parker filter. It is a hands-on instrument that also doubles as the heart of a modular setup.
Two analog oscillators, VCO 1 with mixable saw, square and triangle waves plus noise and Ultrasaw, Metalizer and PWM shaping, and a second tunable VCO that can also act as an LFO, feed a 2-pole Steiner-Parker filter with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch modes. The signature Brute Factor knob adds aggressive saturation and feedback, with ADSR and a loopable AD envelope, two LFOs, an arpeggiator and a sequencer. A 48-point CV/Gate patchbay makes the whole synth re-routable and ready to integrate with Eurorack or a RackBrute.
Patch cables are included, and the build has a metal chassis with wooden end cheeks. DjLab supplies genuine Arturia in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

4 reviews from leading pro-audio publications
“Where the original was a fairly straightforward monosynth with a few unique touches and some CV control, the MiniBrute 2 is now semi-modular, boasting a beefed- up synth engine and a comprehensive mini-jack patchbay.”Read full review →
“Professional review of Arturia's MiniBrute 2 analog synthesizer by John Baccigallupi. In-depth analysis of features, sound quality, and studio performance for audio engineers and producers.”Read full review →
“Arturia have taken a bold step with the MiniBrute 2, the MiniBrute 2S and the two RackBrutes, moving up the pricing ladder but at the same time adding a great deal to its previous low-cost analogue synths. If you’re interested in a compact system that combines flexible synthesis, sequencing and Eurorack capabilities, the new range has to be high on your list of candidates.”Read full review →
“The main and most important difference of the new generation synthesizer is the use of semi-modular architecture, which significantly expands the synthesis capabilities and allows the integration of MiniBrute 2 into a wide range of modular sets via CV/Gate connection. MiniBrute 2 also includes several additional features such as a second oscillator, an additional LFO, a built-in arpeggiator/sequencer, improved keyboard mechanics, and the Arturia Link expansion system.”Read full review →
