Exchanging a keybed for a compact row of velocity/pressure-sensitive pads, the Arturia MiniBrute 2S semi-modular analog synthesizer delivers massive sound that's easy to add to your synth setup. Because it's semi-modular, you don't need to patch a thing to generate a huge range of sounds with MiniBrute 2S — but you'll have endless creative possibilities when you begin to tap into its 48-point CV mod matrix. Also impressive is its three-layer BeatStep-style sequencer, allowing you to sequence notes on one layer while sequencing parameter changes on the others.
