Arturia MiniBrute 2 Overview by CatSynth TV
Published on May 17, 2018 CatSynth TV
http://www.catsynth.com
"First of three videos exploring the new MiniBrute 2 monophonic analog synthesizer from Arturia. In this first installment, we focus on the synthesizer voice features:
Oscillator 1 waveforms and modulation
Oscillator 2 as a bass or FM source
Filter modes
Filter modulation
Self-oscillation of the filter
The BRUTE Factor
Putting all together into a complex patch
Exploring a patch from the included Cookbook.
From Arturia's website (https://www.arturia.com/minibrute-2/o...
"From the earliest electronic instruments, synthesizers have expanded and enhanced the possibilities available to musicians. We decided not only to apply this mantra to the sound of our new instrument, but to synthesizer itself. MiniBrute 2 was born! A synthesizer that would sound huge and yet be compact, self-contained and versatile. An instrument that would be both comprehensive and evolving."
Part 2 of this series will look at the sequencer and arpeggiator functions, and Part 3 will explore using the MiniBrute 2 with external elements, including the RackBrute. Please subscribe to this channel to be notified the next installments are released."

Published on Sep 4, 2019 CatSynth TV
New performance from supporting site member, Amanda Chaudhary of www.catsynth.com!
"Amanda Chaudhary's full solo performance from the Compton's Cafeteria Series show at the Center for New Music in San Francisco. She performed two extended pieces: White Wine (solo version) and Donershtik, using Arturia MiniBrute and MicroFreak, Nord Stage EX, Novation controller, MOK Waverazor, Strymon Magneto, and more.
To see excerpts from all three sets please check out our previous video: [below]
For more new and adventurous electronic music, please subscribe to this channel and visit www.catsynth.com.
_________
Amanda Chaudhary’s live performances bring theatricality and flare to the sometimes staid world of experimental electronics. She combines sophisticated modular synthesizers and software, with conventional instruments and even toys and DIY electronics for a unique experience that moves effortlessly between experimental noise, jazz and funk, ambient abstract landscapes, and more. She has been performing solo and with various groups in the Bay Area, New York, and beyond for many years and is deliberately difficult to pin down to a particular style or practice, except to say that her work is always fun to experience. Amanda is also the founder of CatSynth.com and CatSynth TV, which covers music, synthesizers, art, and culture through the prism of a love for cats. The feline sometimes works its way back into her music."

ARTURIA Introduces the SQ80 V w/ Added Features
Update: new videos added below. Don't miss them.
"SQ80 V is Ensoniq’s classic ‘80s Cross-Wave synth reborn, weaving hybrid lo-fi character, complex industrial textures, and thousands of unique waveform combinations into a quick-fire softsynth enhanced for modern production. Digital synthesis unraveled.
SQ80 V → https://bit.ly/3tDRnP6 Exclusive launch offer until October 5th, 2021 ⏰"
"What we added
SQ80 V strikes the perfect balance between ‘80s cult classic and modern production workhorse with character. To achieve this, we added hundreds more waveforms and retrofitted its architecture with a number of extra creative features - without compromising its distinct retro charm.
The arpeggiator
Introducing an arpeggiator to SQ80 V’s curious sound equips it for easy performance and melody creation. A classic component with the familiar controls, including arp direction, sync, octave range, and hold. Just turn it on and enjoy free-flowing lo-fi sounds that fit right into your mix.
Unison
SQ80 V offers up to 16-voice polyphony - twice that of the original hardware instrument - but we couldn’t resist adding an 8-voice unison option. Stack up those oscillators for enormous basses, gritty percussion, and ultra-dense lead sounds.
Dispersion
When it comes to classic synths and keyboards, the true charm often lies in the details. We went a step further than emulating the SQ80’s sound and interface by introducing dispersion - meaning subtle variations and inconsistencies in the behavior of its emulated circuitry. No two notes will ever be exactly the same, bringing a truly unmatched organic sound.
Envelopes expanded
To further shape the attack, duration, and evolution of your sounds, we upgraded SQ80 V with 2 additional envelope modes: DADSR and MSEG. The former adds a delay stage to the traditional ADSR for staggered strikes and interesting rhythmic patterns. The latter is a fully-customizable looping function generator for painting envelopes your own way.
The Mod Mixer
Combine any 2 modulation sources, from envelopes to keyboard controls, to distort, mangle, and refract your patches in interesting and unexpected ways. With 6 different modes of modulation mixing, the combination possibilities are enormous - as are the potential sonic results.
MPE compatibility
SQ80 V supports MPE-compatible controllers for an advanced expressivity experience. Create dynamic performance patches and textures that can respond in numerous ways to a single keystroke."

Arturia SQ-80 V Synth Demo Song of my Presets for the factory SoundBank.
video upload by Sound Provider / Leonard de Leonard
"Hi everyone,
I was lucky enough to be part of the sound-designer team for the new Arturia synth plug-in, the Sq-80 V , here is a little demo i made with some of the presets i created for the sound bank factory included in the synthesizer. For this "Techno" demo I used 13 instances of the synth plus few wav sounds for the drums (kick, snare hh and ride) on my DAW (Cubase from Steinberg) , of course I didn't use any other synths or effects other than a little compression and eq to fine tune the mix and a touch of mastering (also because Mix and mastering is part of my daily job 😉 ) I really liked it when Arturia told me about the Sq80v, having used them in the 90's I really love them and I'm a bit nostagic of the sound of the first hybrid polyphonic synthesizers that mix the coldness and the hardness of the digital oscillators and the warmth of the analog filters. I'm also a big fan of the number of modulations available, the 4 envelopes with 4 bipolar stages, the 3 lfo's and the modulation mixer are a dream for sound designers, without forgetting the Arturia touch with the super simple and hyper inspiring macro management.
Voila :)
Leonard de Leonard"

"@Arturia SQ-80v - a software Ensoniq SQ-80 - guided tour and sound demo
Another Arturia software synth... another great synth to play with. Like all the Arturia soft synth, the SQ80v is a great recreation of a classic (in this case digital ) synth. They do not limit themselves with the limits of the original. They add an easy to use UI for the Synthesis section and extras: Arpeggiator, Unison mode, expanded envelopes, dispersion, mod matrix and MPE.
Using the 8 bit 5503 DOC chip, the original SQ80 was capable of unique organic digital character that is still sought out today.

Mini press release, followed by user videos:


"Arturia just released the latest version of its flagship all-in-one software synth for modern producers.
When Arturia set out to create Pigments, the goal was ambitious yet simple: to design a synthesizer that would inspire creativity and redefine the boundaries of modern sound design. It was born out of a need to merge traditional synthesis paradigms with the latest innovation, and has evolved into one of the most versatile and intuitive software synthesizers available.
With each iteration, Pigments has grown alongside its community, empowering sound designers, producers, and composers to craft everything from intricate textures to explosive soundscapes. Today, as we unveil Pigments 6, this evolution reaches a new zenith, reaffirming Arturia’s mission to deliver a synthesizer as innovative as the artists who use it....
With Pigments 6, users can explore the new Modal Engine, new filters, a brand-new vocoder effect, enhanced granular functionality, fresh modulation possibilities, and a host of additional improvements – all designed to take multi-engine sound design to new heights.
Existing users can update Pigments for free and access an introductory offer on Explorations preset bundles. If you’re new to Pigments, you can make the most of an introductory price and discount on these expansions."

"Arturia Pigments 6 🔥 received a major update, introducing the Modal engine loved by Minifreak and Microfreak users. Now, there are more settings and expanded possibilities for physical modeling. It’s particularly great for creating mystical bells.
I also really enjoyed the new Lo-Fi Filter, especially when paired with Jitter.
Among other things: a vocoder, a new modulator, filters, an Envelope Follower, and various interface improvements. And, as usual, 100 new presets were added as a nice bonus, showcasing the new features of version 6. In this video, I'll walk you through my favorite sounds.

"We explore the CP-70 V, a new instrument from Arturia released as part of V Collection X. It's a recreation of Yamaha's classic CP-70 electro-acoustic piano that combined customized piano strings and hammer action with piezoelectric pickups, a pre-amp, and other electronic processing. It's compact size made it a "portable piano" and a popular instrument for touring artists in the 1970s and beyond.
We go over the CP-70 V's features, including the main panel that recreates the look and feel of the original, the advanced panel that allows finer control over the acoustic and electric aspects of the instrument, the effects panel, and some factory presets.
