All user reviews for the Arturia brute

It's a 100% analog synth with 5 keys, two main controls, three pedal ports, USB MIDI in/out/thru, CV/Gate in and out, separate audio outputs, and paraphony across the entire keyboard. It's a delight! It's hard to imagine so many functions in such a small device!

UTILIZATION

The overall configuration is pretty comfortable, once connected via Bluetooth to the Arturia satellite it synchronizes relatively well,. You can control it with dedicated Android and iOs apps, and even with most Nespresso machines, it's amazing!
The manual is pretty discouraging, given its "encyclopedia in 10 volumes" aspect, but once you take a week to read it, you're good to go!
Sound editing is aimed at beginners, like all the latest gadgets. There's no need to have any real talent, the machine does everything for you, you'll be jealous!

SOUNDS

In terms of sound, it's amazing! It sounds, fat, warm, analog, and every other term without any real concrete meaning you can think of used by marketing gurus to seduce you!

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it for an hour (the rest of the time I've been reading the manual and routing the audio and MIDI inputs/outputs to my soundcard), which is more than enough time to say it's simply amazing! To be honest, I sold my Moog Voyager to buy several Brutes and link them together in polychain!
It's value for money is simply unbeatable. You can get it for around $130 per key, but it's definitely worth it! I would but it again without hesitation, and you can take that literally, since every Musikmesse and NAMM there's a crazy amount of new products, I now live in a cellar, I have sold my car and my life now consists in buying all of these half-synths on the market! If one day I have the possibility to resell them, I will do it to buy myself a good whole synth!

5 key range!
NOT ONLY a pitch wheel BUT ALSO a mod wheel.
100% Analog
LOOKS LIKE A TRANSFORMER'S FOOT!!!!!



UTILIZATION

Simple to control and easy to assign via midi to any DAW you may have found free on the Internet!


SOUNDS

Sounds better than my 4 year old banging on his toy Xylophone!

OVERALL OPINION

It's the ultimate solution for all your controller needs, with the added bonus of an, Audio Interface, completely programable onboard sequencer, Fully Automatable Analog signal path synthesizer, instant midi mapping, sampling, beat creation, and even several blinky LED lights so you look ultra professional on stage!
