Deterson « Impressive, striking. A must have. »
Published on 09/28/14 at 08:17Firstly I do not own that part of the Blue Brute, Rose is being acquired (my bank is a bit slow on transfers of more than € 10,000).
At first unpacking, I was baffled face the complexity of the beast! Indeed, in addition to being particularly heavy Brute has many detachable parts, which must therefore be assembled yourself to be complete. This is fortunately only do one right times, but still demand a good day or two ahead.
Once in a single room, the Brute is still quite bulky: bring a large sturdy table, this will ensure is convenience. Featuring a Pitch and Modulation (all two very comfortable and superbly designed) the gross keyboard even has a space containing five small keys that are still welcome, and two modifiers Octave buttons cleverly placed above said keyboard. Impeccable.
UTILIZATION
The ignition process is a bit tedious, but still shorter than that of connecting the Blue and Pink versions (see the opinion of BlackWinny). Everything is clearly explained on page 220 to page 450 of the manual (written in English ok), but to summarize you will need: 2 screwdrivers, a laptop capable of emitting electromagnetic waves (between 900MHz and 1.1 GHz) powerful enough, kraft paper perforated at -20 ° C as the pictures in the manual, 500g of concrete and your voice (before thinning).
Also, the Brute consumes between 2700 and 2900kWh, provide solid cabling (not supplied) and adequate food. A cooling system is also highly recommended: the monster ends up very quickly to around 90 ° C after a few minutes of use, and in addition to not be pleasant for the fingers, this temperature may cause permanent damage.
SOUNDS
The sounds available beyond the imaginable, and I mean it. 2 knobs and 2 buttons Arturia managed to take us by the neck in the ass and show us what it really is, genius.
OVERALL OPINION
After months of non-stop use, the limits do not always make sense. In the early first all may seem daunting complexity, but the 512-page manual allows us to quickly assimilate the basics and have fun like crazy for hours (as long as the synth is cooled efficiently because it gets very hot , to be close to 90 ° C) for fear of damaging it permanently.
Once assembly is complete along (Brute is sent loose parts), it'll just try to turn it on, and before the end of the week you can expect a drop of the precious nectar of sounds that it offers, before it explodes in your face because of an assembly not rigorous enough or too risky power, you planting dozens of pieces of sharp metal in the head, eyes and stomach by opening up the skull and stomach, all at 110 ° C due to inefficient cooling, which heal wounds instantly, leaving you to die slowly of internal bleeding and infections sneaky, if you are not already died of a skull fracture or fire the pieces of molten metal have caused to your apartment / house.
In short very good experience overall. A buy eyes closed.
