I don't regret anything. It would be great if you make another video using Minibrute 2S or release (even for $) presets, because your creativity is insane.
@@MateuszPrusik cannot really have preset on the m2s as it's analog but I will definetely do another video this year that cover the sequencer and patching bay !
I have the little brother of this one, the microbrute and definitively this gears were made to make techno music, there is a lot of potential in a single machine. Thanks for the review
You can get these used for less than $350, which is a tremendous bargain, especially when considered as a complement to eurorack. I have 4 rows of modular, and this would add so, so much for less than what the sequencer alone would cost in the rack.
First video explaining the Velo sub options that has made sense to me, thank you. Have been messing with them but nothing seemed to change…hadn’t realised I needed to patch out the velo along with it. The instant musical examples give real clarity.
This is the only video on youtube that convinced me to get one. Till now I was very ambivalent about the Minibrute 2s. You definitely should explore more gear that works for Techno. Tanzbar 2 immediately comes to mind.
Thanks, yeah tanzbar 2 fascinate me, I love the sound of the first one but it's discontinued and I haven't found any review interesting of the Tanzbar 2... Maybe in the future
Hey mate, thanks for the video. I love my 2s and am having so much fun with it. Monster sequencer with all these modulation routes plus stacker cables (the only thing this synth lacks is splitter, but i wasnt expecting one for this price and so much fun on modular already) = endless fun. What would you guys add to it - i think a nice quant would be useful for this kind of modular beast. Great way to start building the rack. Also sound wise, dunno bout you, but Arthuria synths, brutes and Freak, complement so nicely with Korg, Sequential and Waldorf. they always cut through and find their respective place in the mix without much eq. I also rarely use dynamic processors on this one, its a shame to tame the beast. There is really nothing mini about this synth.
Yeah stacker cable are helpful to cover the lack of splitter. I try to resist for now to don't buy modular module but who knows one day... Yeah it's really powerful, and the price is so low, same goes with the nicrofreak, if you think about it...
Im so stoked my noir version comes in a day or 2... got it to modulate and pair up with the my td 3 mo 🤑😈😁. Love the demonstration! Also really love your techno patches for the sub 37 🤘🏼 use them all the time!
I don't know but it's great for me, the only problem it's the footprint, I felt it could have been smaller but other than that their seq+patch+synth is perfect for me !

How do you sync the TR8 with Minibrute2s using the Midi? I have midi out on my TR8 going into the midi in of the Minibrute 2S and the brute wont play. Is there a setting in the Minibrute2s that I need to do to trigger it? please help. thanks
@@Yourmom-ck7ss You have to select the Sync to Midi to the Minibrute2s follows the midi from TR8, cous by default the Minibrute2s starts with the Sync on INT (internal)
Only improvement I’d make to this video is putting a beat under the synth for the last minute or so, I was dying to hear the patch in action! Otherwise great content.
Great Demo and tips and Tricks 🔥, Congrats for your channel, You got a new subscriber. The Minibrute 2s is one of my best synth for sound design and sonic explorations.
Great review and tutorial, thank you. I'm new to Modular and have just got my hands on this synth. I'm going to experiment with the tips you have shown. I find the patchbay just a little confusing but I guess thats normal for a modular noobie.
Yeah I was the same about the patch bay, you will learn it with time. You can still watch the manual I think they explain it. I am wondering if Loopop didn't made a video about it too...
I am thinking to sell my bass station 2 and get the 2s. I want to explore the world of modular. I think this will be a good start. As always i love your video's and share your know how. Thanks👍🏻
Just be carefull its very tempting to buy a case and build your on modular system after haha. The bass station was under my eyes too, sound good and got a vst to save integrate in your daw...
I bought a modular last year, I spent a small fortune. Right now I'm in the process of selling all of it. When you are considering buying something, ask yourself: what problem will this piece of gear solve? In my case the modular didn't work out for what I had in mind, which was live performance. I learned an expensive lesson finding out that the live modular thing is not for me.
Hello, really enjoyed this!! Im really looking forward to buy this synth, but im having a hard time knowing if I will need any extra equipment to make it work. I don't have experience on audio... I have only a JBL Boombox speaker, with has an aux in minijack 3,5mm. I don't know if I can connect the minibrute directly to the speaker, or I need an adapter to transform the cable of the out of the minibrute to the 3,50mm. Also don't know if I need a mixer or something. As you see I'm really lost here and don't want to make an impulsive decision and then realize I need to spend more to make it sound. I will really appreciate your wisdom on this complex thing for a beginner, who want to start making alien noises and be happy.
Hi! Nice review! Wow! I've didn't expected that it's so complex! I could say that "it's better than Neutron" if it has the same morphing waveform feature. Pitty that Arturia didn't included a WaveFolder block in this synth! It could be a *big* competitor to many other synths that are working in "Buchla territory". It's already almost there. OK, and just need one additional LPG to fully mimic the EastCoast. In terms of circuitry an LPG is almost nothing. Can the sliders' positions be recorded or they're only manual?
Thank you, there is a folding function but even though is sound nice it could sound better compare to what other do. Slider are only manual but you can use the step sequencer and patch bay to automate them
Very nice tutorial. I have 2 questions: - which effect chain (rack) do you use in the connected Ableton track? - is it possible to achieve all these sounds also with VST synths (like Pigments, Phase Plant, etc.) ? Or would it make more sense to directly use such a hardware synth?
Recreating the sound is very possible. The main difficulty is always the sound of an analog filter. However, the main thing about hardware is the interface, the experience of working with the sliders and the patch bay.
Nice, thinking about buying it as my first hard instrument. I´m kinda thinking of buying a keystep along with it or a beatstep dunno which makes more sense. Beat is more important for me personally but u know playing with keys is also nice. Hard decision. How do you call the yellow/greenish duplication adapter patch cable at 29:43? Cant find it. Also are there different voice presets or can use different samples on this thing? Thanks in advance
if you want a keyboard there is a version with a keyboard it's the Minibrute 2 (without the S), Basically the Minibrute 2s is the Minibrute 2 with the sequencer from the Beatstep instead of the key. The cable is from Tip Top audio, it's a stackable patch cable I guess. This is a mono synthesizer, so just one voice but you can kind of play paraphonic with the OSc2. You cannot import samples, and the only things you can save are sequencer pattern
Cool, use external instrument to send midi to it and receive audio. Because the connection is by usb it should appear in Live preference. If you want to record the audio , create a new audio track and as input use the output of the track where there is the external instrument . You can record before/after effect or after MIxer. Choose the one you prefer (I usually record on pre FX this way I can always edit my FX later on). If you use the internal seq of minibrute, you might have some delay, I've just record a video about how to sync your hardware but it won't be out before August at least. Send me a email right now to remind me and tomorrow I will send you the video ( I am not at the studio today and I will forgot otherwise)
You can use it for whatever but I rather use it for bass/lead than just drums, but with the modular patch combine with the sequencer you can create indeed drums pattern. To be honest it's cool in term of sound design but never really fit my track or also it will take longer to do it on the minibrute than on a drum machine...
@@audioreakt Nice! That's what I was planning to use it for as well. I usually use VST or TR909 samples for my drums which would be way faster I imagine.
Yes this one have been under my eyes for a while, I was just waiting them to release a Minifreak but I don't think it will come one day ! But yeah its definitely great for techno for sure !
the usb work well with ableton? like I dont need to connect output, just usb to hear it live and record into ableon lite? and I can use usb to control other things with the step sequencer on the 2s? thx very nice video.
Usb does Midi only (no audio). Yes Ableton will recognise the Minibrute 2s and then you can use it as a midi input for any other track (then use the minibrute to sequence Operator for example).
Great video! Can MB2s be used as a standalone machine to play live? I am thinking to buy a synth which can I can use to produce/play techno, but i don't have any other equipment.
Thanks, it can be used in standalone but it's a monophonic synthesizer so you can only get one sound out of it. If you're looking for on peice of gear that can do drums, bass and synth, look for some groovebox maybe the Roland MC707
Haha 90% of the synth sound of my Possession Techno come from it, if I have time I will do another video more "preset oriented", I took a picture of a lot of the preset but let's see if I can recreate them from the picture...
Do you want to do hardware only or both ableton/hardware ? If you want to be able to have all your hardware track in ableton sperately, you need a soundcard with 8 input at least, after it depend on your budget obviously but usually the more you paid the better the quality of the AD/DA converter.. top brand are UAD and RME, MOTU is not bad too and then after budget-friendly you have the scarlet 18i20 or the arturia audiofuse 8...Might be good to check the soundcard ableton recomend for their CV control compabilty as well, it might be interesting..
Cool sound options, but "thin" sounding compared to Arturia. Somehow it fits into psy-trance and industrial sequencer sound - cold sounds. Even volcas have better/weightier basic sound! But it shines with complex patches, fm, etc. I think filter is its weak point. I think crave has more robust basic sounds because of moog type filter. Also its oscs do drift quite a bit, so no-no for live performance
@@aounms Yeah I know but I was talking in general, you know the fact they sues forum users, the Peter kirn stuff...Plus I rather give my money to company who at least try to create new things and not only based their business model into copying other people work.
shoot, thanks for letting me know, that's what happen when youtube automatically put the ads, wasn't my intention, I usually put one in the middle. I change this right now !
Thanks to you, last year I bought a Push 2 and now a Minibrute 2S. Incredible gear!
haha sorry to have influenced you, but they are both great gears tbh, especially the push2 that I use everyday !
I don't regret anything. It would be great if you make another video using Minibrute 2S or release (even for $) presets, because your creativity is insane.

Hello, really enjoyed this!!
Im really looking forward to buy this synth, but im having a hard time knowing if I will need any extra equipment to make it work. I don't have experience on audio...
I have only a JBL Boombox speaker, with has an aux in minijack 3,5mm. I don't know if I can connect the minibrute directly to the speaker, or I need an adapter to transform the cable of the out of the minibrute to the 3,50mm.

- is it possible to achieve all these sounds also with VST synths (like Pigments, Phase Plant, etc.) ? Or would it make more sense to directly use such a hardware synth?

Thanks, take care and I'm waiting for your new video.
I have onr and certainly you can nake everything for techno..i make every sibgle sound..kicks..synths..everything
Yeah that cool, I didn't show drum but it's true that good too and with the sequencer you got your rhythm straight away !
Future sample pack with this beautiful machine ?
Haha 90% of the synth sound of my Possession Techno come from it, if I have time I will do another video more "preset oriented", I took a picture of a lot of the preset but let's see if I can recreate them from the picture...
What soundcard would you recommend to get for someone looking to move into hardware?
Do you want to do hardware only or both ableton/hardware ? If you want to be able to have all your hardware track in ableton sperately, you need a soundcard with 8 input at least, after it depend on your budget obviously but usually the more you paid the better the quality of the AD/DA converter.. top brand are UAD and RME, MOTU is not bad too and then after budget-friendly you have the scarlet 18i20 or the arturia audiofuse 8...Might be good to check the soundcard ableton recomend for their CV control compabilty as well, it might be interesting..
@@audioreakt was looking at both hardware / ableton. thanks for the info
will have a look :)
26:36 wanted a beat to drop lol
Haha resample it and have fun !
What do you think about the behringer neutron?
I am kind of a bit uncomfortable with Beringer, what they do and how they act...So I will pass
Cool sound options, but "thin" sounding compared to Arturia. Somehow it fits into psy-trance and industrial sequencer sound - cold sounds. Even volcas have better/weightier basic sound! But it shines with complex patches, fm, etc. I think filter is its weak point. I think crave has more robust basic sounds because of moog type filter. Also its oscs do drift quite a bit, so no-no for live performance
@@audioreakt Neutron is not a copy it's unique one 😉
@@aounms Yeah I know but I was talking in general, you know the fact they sues forum users, the Peter kirn stuff...Plus I rather give my money to company who at least try to create new things and not only based their business model into copying other people work.
What about analog four?
I've never try it..
Turn on the light man
haha that was one of firt if not the first video where I was using a real camera and not a webcam to film gear, hence the low light video 🤣
It is a shame you did the whole demo with that ugly reverb!! It would sound much more like a modular synth: JUst a thought!
Ok, I just feel like it hard to really see the potential of a synth without a bit of effect...
all we need is ads?... goodness
shoot, thanks for letting me know, that's what happen when youtube automatically put the ads, wasn't my intention, I usually put one in the middle. I change this right now !
