johnchop Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 http://arturia.com/k4Lv1n/index.html We'll know for sure in a week. From the quotes it sounds like a Minibrute desktop or some such. Someone is quoted as saying "no presets"... interesting. I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 One could say the MiniBrute is already desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucktunes Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The email newsletter I got from them showed a very blurry pic of what appeared to be a knobby synth with a real keyboard. (more than 2 octaves ) I'm definitely intrigued. I guess we'll all know in a week. ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchop Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Wait... no additional baseless speculation and Arturia hatering? What has this forum come to? I expected better. I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwat Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 No hatering here. I will say, from purely a marketing perspective, I dig that website presentation. Great way to do a countdown with the quotes splashing on top. Worthy of an Apple product launch. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluzeyone Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've been keeping a close eye on the mini brute for a studio piece since my juno died. Anyone have one? Phatt?

Tusker Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Anyone have one? Phatt? Don't have one but considered one and put it through the paces pretty thoroughly. The oscillator is fat but the filter is not, especially in the higher frequencies. Thin and weedy is my description of the filter, which means I would use the minibrute only for occasional raw sounding big parts (leads and basses) and lots of different kinds of little parts. It is well priced, so if you already have the big parts nailed .... In my opinion, there is a very good reason why the steiner-parker filter has not been emulated extensively in the past.

Sorry, but I hate all the current gear with these tiny little keyboards. Gimme at least 3 octaves, 4 is better, and full size keys, will ya? Or are we "real" players not the target market any more? Maybe that's why nobody can be bothered making a decent 76 key controller... Yea, I'm in a bitchy mood today...

MAJUSCULE Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Les, maybe the fact that the "regular" sized board is called the Mini, while the "small" is the Micro means something. Kind of the reverse of the Large/Extra-large/Supersize fast food nomenclature, no? P.S. I have no interest in something that size, either.

bluzeyone Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thnx tusker for feedback. looks like my best choice in that price range might be casios synth. Unless you know of something else knobby and cool. It dont hafta have keys..got a controller for the chore.. Speaking of key size... Do you all remember all those mini keys coming out in the 80's? It was the only time I could ever grab a tenth in D without going 'OUCH!'

Tusker Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks Nick. They emphasized sweeter sounds in this video, then they did when they introduced the big brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 It's tough to argue with the rumored $300 price, but I'm not so keen on the Steiner-Parker filter. Also, if it doesn't have presets, I question its usefulness live as shown in the video. No band is going to have time to dial in new sounds between songs, so you're stuck with one sound. A microKORG it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJPatton Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't know why people always complain about the size when a new mini comes out, aren't there mountains of full size synths to buy if you want one? there's a market for these little guys so they make them, end of story, telling us you want bigger makes no sense.

bluzeyone Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have no prob with mini or accordian keys. I dig em for solo stuff. As a guitar man would say " That baby has a fast neck!!"
