El inicio
de la historia
En 2011, lo digital dominaba el mercado. Los instrumentos virtuales estaban de moda y todos los sintetizadores de hardware populares eran digitales.
[...] cuando en la feria NAMM de 2012 Arturia presentó su primer sintetizador analógico, el MiniBrute, que presumía de un sonido fantástico y un precio por debajo de la mitad del de la competencia. Arturia supo ver e impulsar una tendencia incipiente: el resurgimiento y posterior dominio de la síntesis analógica. No pudieron llegar en mejor momento.

Incorporaba un secuenciador con 4 pistas polifónicas independientes, cada una con hasta 64 pasos, sus propias salidas CV, controles avanzados en tiempo real para interpretación, encadenación de patrones y muchísimo más. Este era el secuenciador que el mundo había estado esperando.
