Is this a perfect copy of the hardware ? (In term of sound )

I wonder why they have the video in their product page seemingly running the synth on an iPad. Never mind, I see that other product pages do the same so it's probably meaningless.

Kind of a weird choice if they’re not planning iPad versionsjipumarino wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 8:04 pm

Quite a CPU hungry synth if you want to use all 8 notes of its polyphony. Over 50% in my DAW.
I was never a fan of the Metalizer sound from YouTube vids of the Minibrutes, the range of useful timbres from it sounded too narrow for my liking and after playing with it my opinion hasn't changed. I can get a similar sound out of Minifreak.
Overall the sound quality itself is very good, convincingly analog. Without the Metalizer it still has quite a unique sound, but not what I'd call versatile. It can make a wide range of sounds but the usable sweet spots are few and far between, IMO.
I can do without this one.

TBH I'm less excited about this, the MiniBrute V, than I am about the possibility their Steiner-Parker filter model on hand opens them up to modeling the DrumBrute/Impact. (and maybe the Mini 2 as well, I'm a sucker for semi-modular)

Just to point out, if you're really into a MiniBrute, you can buy one second hand for about the same money (I assume) or the new MiniBrute 2 for twice the money (after intro price). Arturia don't care as the money still goes to them (unless it's second hand).

Not sure why Arturia is making this when there are so many other vintage instruments they could make
They must have hit a brick wall with product development if they are reduced to Augmented series and digital remakes of their own budget line of hardware synths
Can't say I have ever said to myself "self you know what would be cool? A Minibrute plugin that's what"

Well I differ here. I have a Minibrute 2 and have often wanted polyphony. This is an instant buy for me but the augmented series is completely lost on me. I’ve never pined for an augmented river in China but perhaps I lack imagination.

That’s a pretty good deal. Mine is also $49 and I have V Collection 9, FX Collection 4, several individual plugins, a PolyBrute, a MatrixBrute, a MiniFreak, and a KeyStep 37. Oh well, I owned a MiniBrute 2S at one point and didn’t love it so this will be a pass.

I am amazed. One must be honestly deaf to not hear the amazing sound this little synth delivers...
when I remember Arturia 8-10 years ago and their synths - no bananas
Last few years - holy what the f***?!?
Their quality expanded dramatically.

Arturia is celebrating their 20th Anniversary. That's a great reason to revisit their own products. In many ways, AstroLab is a re-release of the Origin.
