Arturia MiniBrute V: A detailed demo & tutorial + hardware comparison

[@malcolmbliss777]

I love it. I have no idea how it works. Yet. I’ve spent 10 mins on it, then got busy on another project. It’s not nearly as hands on, and thus as satisfying to play, as the REAL Minibrutes (all 3 others; the MicroBrute, Minibrute, & MiniBrute 2. I just happen to have all 3).

[@CatSynthTV]

Wow, cool that you have all three of the hardware "Minibrutes" (We just have the MiniBrute 2 here, but I love it)

[@mattcritchlow1769]

I think we all could do with a little bit of release from time to time

[@AaronDuckFish]

Great review as always! I do think it’s a little weird they’re modeling their own hardware… Still it sounds great. I really like that you can dial in your own instability!

[@LinaaaOfficial]

Roland and KORG modelled their own hardware aswell, it's not that weird.

[@malcolmbliss777]

It does react incredibly fast. That’s a huge plus.

[@malcolmbliss777]

@@LinaaaOfficialI find it weird they’d bother to repeat themselves. Roland & Korg? Of course. Arturia? Not so much.

Hardware sounds better to my ears.

Have you done a blind comparison?

[@briankruesi6484]

@@bonchbonchno I just listened to the examples in this video and that was my thought.

[@happylittlesynth]

@@briankruesi6484 I'm with you Brian...hardware takes the lead.

[@rockstar-technology]

I think there's something to be said for the metallic virtual analog quality of the plugin but yeah it's hard to match the vibe of the original.

[@novalogue]

@@bonchbonch it clearly has a distinctive buzz in the oscillators - filter and feedback also sound pretty different - different but not necessarily worse

[@meneerjansen00]

Hmmmm. Even though I like it $100 for a VST of a synth that's $300 for the actual hardware version seems steep... Maybe there will be a discount pretty soon.

[@robmlisanti]

I just got it for $69 since I own a bunch of Arturia products

[@mrdrgonzo]

I can get it for €49 since I own v collection x

[@kostyakonstantinoff]

Filters and resonance are emulated completely inaccurately.

[@dulusmusica]

damn that filter all the way up on the vst version sounds dookie

[@CatSynthTV]

I would expect no less 😺
