Arturia's MiniBrute was the French manufacturer's second ever hardware instrument; previously known for its synth plugins, Arturia first released the Origin synthesizer in 2008 before following that up with the MiniBrute in 2012.
A monophonic 25-key analogue synthesizer with a single VCO and multimode Steiner-Parker filter, the instrument earned a devoted following, paving the way for later products bearing the Brute name, such as the recently-released PolyBrute 12.
