This video, via flux302, offers some tips and tricks for using the new Arturia Minibrute synthesizer.
The MiniBrute features a pure analog signal path, with a VCO wave mixer, the classic Steiner-Parker multimode filter, as well as numerous analog innovations such as the Metalizer, Ultrasaw, and the Brute Factor.
If you’ve got your own tips for using the Minibrute, leave a comment!
Hmmm…
Do we need more trips and tics to Catatonia?

Do we need more negative posters who have nothing to add to a community? can’t wait to bore you with my next video…
thanks for watching!

another tip ive discovered that was somewhat unexpected in terms of super aggressive bass sounds – it involves using a combination of the headphone out routed to the audio-input, as well as a bit of the “brute factor”… both knobs around 12 oclock or so, its touchy so you have to play with it to get it right – also you have to set the mix for audio-input slider somewhat low
set the filter to “high pass” mode, with resonance at or around zero – play with the cutoff a bit, but set it near the middle and use a negative filter envelope
any combination of oscillators works with this but the best results are from the triangle wave modulated heavily by the “metalizer”, which is further modulated by either the envelope or LFO or both… as well as the sub-oscillator, at any setting – many combinations are possible for a wide variety
it results in extremely aggressive sounds reminiscent of heavy metal guitars or other incredibly distorted yet harmonically pleasing sounds.. really cutting distortion thats very musical, not just noisey
hard to describe but its something ive never ever heard from any other analog, especially without any external FX processing
i was surprised to get these kinds of bass sounds from a high pass filter.. its crazy but its awesome

Now that sounds really interesting!
Would you mind giving us an audio example of this heavy-metal-like sound you are describing? I have yet to hear a synthesizer that is capable of mimicking a decent metal guitar…

heavy metal sound doesn’t refer to a one to one guitar emulation. but I assume you knew this before posting your statement.

Using feedback like this is something that should be among the first things to try on a new synth that has the option to do this. It’s one of the standard “tricks” on a Minimoog/Voyager as well.

i did some similar stuff like this in another minibrute video I did (I ran the phones output through a delay pedal and back into the audio input)

I used to do this with my SH-1. Very nasty!

This is a cracking wee synth, I know some people moan it’s only got one oscillator but it has massive sonic capabilities. Definately getting one these over the much hyped Mini MS-20…..

Two filters are always better than one xD

Hmm, the voiceover drops out whenever the synth is being played, usually in the middle of a sentence.
Which is OK I guess.

sorry about that. unfortunately there was a hitch in the way the video was recorded and that was basically my effort to salvage what I could of the video. luckily I’m pretty sure you don’t need my boring commentary to figure out whats really going on in there right?

ond btw for the most part the only stuff thats really cut off is mostly me saying ” UMMM” not much info was really cut out as I wasn’t really speaking during most of the tweaking. sorry though.
