Update 3: The price is 550 USD normally, but you can get it at Novamusik for 500 if you preorder. Wow!
I don't think anyone could have predicted this. Arturia, famous for their softsynth recreations of classic analog hardware, has unveiled their new hardware analog synthesizer, the MiniBrute. Some features include:
Voltage Controlled Oscillators
25 Key keyboard with aftertouch
Steiner-Parker multimode filter
Innovative analog Ultrasaw, Metalizer, Brute Factor technlogy
14 faders and 29 knobs
Rich interface with CV, Gate, USB, and MIDI
Advanced arpeggiator
Rugged Metal Housing
I'm blown away right now. Didn't think we'd see a new superpower come to the analog table this year, but Arturia must know that analog is in. Rumor is a 599 euro pricetag, which equates to about 650 USD, but let's hope for something a tiny bit lower than that-- maybe 600 to compete with the Minitaur? Of course, the jury is out until we actually hear and see this thing, but I'll definitely post the first videos I find. This thing looks great though-- reminds me of an old Moog Rogue or something, and the features sound like a perfect mixture of old and new. Count me interested, Arturia.
