Arturia MiniBrute V Review

[@georgenelson9038]

I suspect this is partially to make the polybrute sounds available to those who can't afford the larger synths...I kinda wish they did a matrixbrute software as well. I don't have the space for these monsters! My original minibrute is very interesting...it took me some time to warm up to it. But every time I go back and listen to recordings I've made with it, I love it's sounds. Very 3D and warm.

[@GrootsieTheDog]

I’m so glad to see these classic synth emulations. Being able to buy a Prophet 5 or a Korg Wavestate, minifreak for 100.00 or less.. I still use hardware for sampling into my sp404mk2 but working in a daw again has been very satisfying. But I think because I used to use just hardware I enjoy the daw more because I still create the same limited environment i.e. I set up templates with only a few select quality vst synths. The problem with daws is that you can get too bogged down with options that can paralyze with indecision.

[@danasdas6683]

Good job, Robin! I'm not even through your video, yet, and I've already purchased it!

[@bradleyoneillmusic]

Terrific shirt. I had a very similar one that someone tossed out in 1994.

[@christophertodman]

i wasn't expecting for it to sound this good, i don't know why

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Yeah, I know, I thought it would be plenty fine but actually it's rather great :D

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Sounds very good. I have not listened to an actual Minibrute recently, but this doesn’t suck.

[@FileTransferProtocol]

I wonder if they are working on an updated hardware version for the future as well. The software definitely sounds great.

[@Angelstarscotland]

It sounds really good and you’re done a great job of reviewing.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Thanks!

[@GerenM63]

Great review and walk-through! I'd already decide it was on my "buy it" list, but this cemented the deal! Cheers!

[@dyscotopia]

I've got a Minibrute 2s and this doesn't sound half bad. It's close enoigh thst I don't think I could tell the difference in a track. Thanks for letting me hear it without the slathering of effects Arturia demoed it with. Still feels a bit digital, but considering the extra voices you get and the much smaller desk footprint it's a great deal at its sale price

[@shannonjames-music]

Great demo!! Sounds amazing!!

[@moorestreetfootscraytrucks2909]

Thanks for this inspiring video Robin! I have learned a lot from you seeing how you use the midi controllers to interact with the software. Sometimes the battle is knowing where to start. I like how you use knobs on the Keystep for the filter and the less used controls are assigned to the other controller to your right. Is that a eurorack module? And the mouse is in easy reach too. Love your work!

[@testohtoby]

I have the Micro since 2017 and for ~2y I've been tempted to pull the trigger on an used OG MINI I really really hope this vst quenches my thirst for Brutes 😆

[@kenfuller9907]

Builders, cockerel and planes. Full house!!

[@jimivandebeek]

Lovely little synth!

[@loweroctaves]

I have so many plug-ins I’m going to die before I can fully use them all, will it stop me from buying this absolutely not.

[@CorkyMeadows]

Hi. I'm Jonathan, and I'm a plug-in addict. 🙄

[@manuelhe46]

I couldn’t help myself either

[@smalltown2223]

Waggington bop and an old chocolate hat!

[@wsterlingy]

Thanks for the video. I bought the VST. Can you tell me about your little midi controller with all of the sliders and knobs? It looks DIY. I'd love to buy or make one.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It’s from N0 Modular called the Midilar

[@EN-MEYER]

Nice Video! Were you just using this pluggin’s software app or was this the pulggin within a DAW?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Just by itself

[@darrenmackay2536]

Convinced me to buy!

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

what the controller you are using and Im not talking about the keystep

[@MoltenMusicTech]

The N0 Midilar

[@DMRobot101]

@@MoltenMusicTech I was just about to ask and reference the video at 21:25 when you point to it. I am looking for a good MIDI controller solution that basically turns any of the old synth emulations into something organic that I can control with knobs and sliders. That would be an interesting video to comment on comparing different options and price points. Thanks for the great videos!

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

@@MoltenMusicTech I want one, Ive emailed them but not heard anything back.... ( british ex pat living in florida) been a awhile since i was last in Norwich

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

@@DMRobot101 I totally agree with everything you said

[@MoltenMusicTech]

I'm not sure he's still trading

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

is this available now? I can't find it on the arturia website???

@@MoltenMusicTech cheers👍

[@sonarfreq]

VSTs, builders and cockerels aside... nice posters! 👍

[@mortarmopp3919]

Since it's a virtual instrument, it's a good bet the "V" is for "virtual". Also, what is the device to the right of the Surface?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Could be, it’s a real puzzler that we’re unlikely to get to the bottom of. It’s a Midilar midi controller.

[@guymorrison4800]

That’s sounds great and they’ve done it justice and made it poly which it should have been in the first place I think. Are the FX I think I’m hearing onboard or external . I’ll be curious to hear what minibrute 2 V sounds like if they do it - and again poly thanks. They would have been Roland killers!

[@MoltenMusicTech]

All effects are from the synth

[@toddwmac]

A great little synth...thanks for your vid. While real hardware synth guys think I'm nuts, I'd love to see a manufacturer build bespoke controllers that are dedicated to a particular classic synth VST. Sounds crazy I know, but considering how cheap it is to build a midi controller today, I'd love to pull out an inexpensive "synth" and have all the hardware controls at my fingertips. Not unlike the billion-dollar industry that is replica AIrSoft guns, I think there might be a market here.

[@toddwmac]

@@MoltenMusicTech Perfect, thanks.

[@aSpeaker2BlocksAway]

I stumbled up on your channel because of your video about your tapemachine. Is it still around? Thinkin about a Revox A77.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It’s still very much around, a little neglected but I have every intention of using it

[@ktreier]

V for Virtual, not V for 5.

[@graysynther2169]

We stopped using Roman numerals Millennia ago 🥴

[@aseomg]

This release is proof that Arturia can make the PolyBrute 12 in software without any issues. All you need is a controller that supports MPE.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

I have one, but I find I don't really do anything useful with the additional expressions and then it gets in the way of doing regular things.

[@MrTubeman007]

If the brute runs on chips it will defiantly go with chicken

[@NicholasCarn]

Yeah, those unnecessary Latin years in my secondary education has also built up to those moments of VST pronunciation dilemma, V or 5? :)

[@wretchro100]

virtual?

[@johnpaulpatton9786]

MiniBrute Vee

[@TheTeekayes]

Just got it downloaded. Love the real minibrute. Why THE HELL is the CPU use so high on this vst? Is anyone else having this problem?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Yes, they say it’s to do with the depth of detail in the filter modelling

[@TheTeekayes]

@@MoltenMusicTech I mean. I guess I could see that. It's my favorite filter in the world. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Distortic]

Saved me 100 dollars. Ive sat at my sam ash for hours trying to get into the original. Thinking i just dont know how to patch it right. Now i figured out its just not my cup of tea.

[@MPHORROCKS]

It's 'V' as in the letter, as in 'virtual'. Why would it be 'five'? That would make their Prophet 5 V a Prophet 'double V', lol.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

I ain't saying that I'm making any sense, it just trips me up every time :D
