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."

"The Synthesizer works and sounds great. The condition is excellent for its age. Included are copies of the A & B sound libraries (50 disks with multiple sounds on each disc), boot disc and extra chips. See photos of the finish, but very nice natural/normal wear, no noticeable flaws to the finish, only one scratch I can find on the back."

Remember these? Alesis' first professional synth, a 76 key rompler from 1993.

via Wikipedia: "In the Quadrasynth's composite synthesis system, up to four "tones" are used to create a single "patch" or synthesizer sound. These individual "tones" are created by using 16-bit digital single-cycle waveforms or digital samples as oscillator sources, and are then processed via a digital non-resonant filter, various LFOs and envelope generators, and so on - in the usual manner. The Quadrasynth contained 16MB of ROM containing PCM-based waveforms and samples, with the option of expanding the sample base via PCMCIA expansion cards which plug into the back of the synthesizer.

Vector Synthesis with Pure Data and the Vectrex by macumbista

Vector Synthesis - Disembodied Hand from macumbista on Vimeo.

"This video employs my Vector Synthesis library for Pure Data to produce an animated vector image using audio signals, which is then displayed on an XY oscilloscope. Here, the shape being displayed is a 3D OBJ file, rendered as three audio signals -- one for each of the X, Y, and Z axes -- with rotations applied to all three dimensions. Display monitor is a 1950's tube oscilloscope which got hot enough to toast bread during the making of this video."

More examples below - don't miss the last one. Vimeo still does not support playlists as far as I am aware of, so popping each one up individually here. Also see Vector Video Synthesis with a Vectrex and Cocoquantus by Hainbach.

Sequential Prophet X - Taiho Yamada Demo

"I’m extremely grateful to have contributed a set of patches to Sequential for their new Prophet X synthesizer. It was super fun to program, combining advanced sample playback oscillators (with modulatable looping parameters) and warm analog filters for a truly unique sound. I’m so proud to have been a part of this project! I hope you enjoy this audio demo of my work."
