The fact that the MiniBrute 2 is selling well, but not in extraordinary quantities, the fact that it’s not a top-seller, so to speak, is a fate that the instrument suffers unfairly. They would desert their jobs, friends and family and jump on already overcrowded trains to get to cities where they could buy the MiniBrute 2 (or at least see their object of desire).īut that’s just not the way it’s happening …Īfter the original MiniBrute had experienced an entirely respectable output of production, after MicroBrute and MatrixBrute had been introduced into Arturia’s portfolio, and after many dozens of analog instruments of various producers had appeared on the market, MiniBrute 2 has become just one of numerous analog synths in 2019. The fact is, if the market were dominated by the veterans of the category “Vintage Synthesizer”, the release of MiniBrute 2 would see masses of enthusiasts around the globe, stampeding to the music stores. Foremost among the competitors, the MiniBrute 2, an excellent sounding 2-VCO synthesizer from the French synth manufacturer Arturia. W hile “Inflation” is indicative of money, we could coin the term “Synth-Flation” to explain what’s going on: The artificial expansion of the synth market.

But in truth, its award may be out of reach, since the market is going through an odd phase of inflation at the moment.

It certainly has all the refinements that a modern versatile analog synth should have. The Arturia MiniBrute 2 could easily be chosen “People’s-Analog-Synthesizer Number ONE of the decade”.
