brute
La synthèse analogique à l’état brut
Brut, puissant, organique. Peu importe comment on le qualifie, comment on le définit, il faut juste le ressentir. Explorer la machine, chercher ce son tactile, électrique, vital de la véritable synthèse analogique. Ce moment de création pure, si rare et précieux, au bout de ses doigts… Bienvenue dans l’univers des Brute.
Powerful analog
synthesizers & drum machines
La gamme Brute réunit des synthétiseurs et des boîtes à rythmes analogiques pensés pour produire des rythmes, des mélodies et des textures à partir de tensions électriques. Manipulez le son analogique classique avec des fonctions expérimentales ultra-modernes et découvrez un nouvel univers sonore fascinant, et très inspirant.
01
Une puissance 100% analogique
Ces instruments génèrent du son en contrôlant et en manipulant le courant électrique. La gamme Brute permet de transformer une tension en signaux sonores, et chaque composant ajoute sa propre couleur au son.
02
Les facteurs Brute
Chacun de ces synthétiseurs possède des fonctionnalités originales qui les rendent vraiment irremplaçables : des filtres Steiner-Parker, une distorsion globale, le feedback du facteur Brute et des possibilités de recâblage.
03
Un fonctionnement pratique
Pas de menus déroulants, pas d’options cachées, ces instruments se pilotent du bout des doigts pour que votre jeu soit totalement instinctif. Le signal passera directement de votre imagination aux enceintes.
Explorer la matière sonore
La gamme Brute vous fait bénéficier de l’aspect immédiat, puissant et organique de la synthèse analogique. Ce son produit par la tension électrique. Des claviers semi-modulaires aux boîtes à rythmes analogiques en passant par les boîtiers Eurorack, c’est l’exploration de la matière sonore incarnée. Des basses détonantes, des leads légers et des nappes moelleuses produites par des ondes en dent de scie. Un son au caractère survolté.
Choose
your Brute
De la finesse de l’onde sinusoïdale d’un synthé monodique au son multidimensionnel incroyablement expressif d’un modèle polyphonique, les Brute vous donnent accès à tout l’éventail du son analogique.

story starts
Avance rapide jusqu’en 2011, quand le numérique dominait le marché. Les instruments virtuels faisaient fureur et tous les synthés matériels populaires étaient numériques.
[...] quand, au NAMM 2012, Arturia présenta son premier clavier analogique, le MiniBrute, un instrument qui sonnait formidablement, et coûtait moins de la moitié du prix de ses concurrents. Arturia avait eu la clairvoyance de sentir arriver et impulser une nouvelle tendance : la ré-émergence et l’éventuelle domination de la synthèse analogique. Ils ne pouvaient pas arriver au meilleur moment.

On PolyBrute
“It's no coincidence that the manufacturer says that PolyBrute is made by musicians for musicians!”
MusicTech

“It may have been a long time coming, but Origin is a bold first step into hardware for Arturia. Huge-sounding and accessible but with great depth, this is a tremendous synth. -MusicTech Choice Award-”
Future Music
On Origin Desktop
“It sounds fantastic and sets a new high in contemporary synth design. Put it on your shopping list.”
Music Radar
On Origin Desktop
“It's with great pleasure that I can tell you that the Origin sounds amazing and well worth the effort that Arturia has put into programming it. It's everything you would expect and more and should keep you occupied for many years.”
Audio Technology
On Origin Desktop
“The Origin has an unashamedly large, lush sound and quite unlike what you'd expect from software synths - and rightly so as this isn't a software synth. This is dedicated DSP, designed strictly for the creation of huge analogue-sounding synth patches. All the usual adjectives spring to mind: syrupy, smooth, fat, etc. In short, it sounds quite amazing, with a lot fo the "hybrid" patches screaming "Oberheim®" to me. Plus, it really has a very hands-on synthesis engine thrown into the bargain- easy to program and edit, and lots of fun to use.”

“The Origin is a unique instrument, combining modular virtual analogue synthesis derived from imitative soft synths with modern features such as splits, layers and truly multitimbral effects. It sounds excellent and, if you can afford it, you should take a close look, because there's nothing else that does quite the same thing.”
Keyboard Magazine

“The Synth Freak's Dream Realizer. Monstrously huge sound. Lots of knobs. Interactive step sequencer. Highly patchable, quite like a modular synth. Four-part multitimbral with aux outs. Numerous modules emulate vintage synth components.”
Electronic Musician
On Origin Desktop
“Terrific, animated sounds. Generous supply of modules. Powerful modulation capabilities with flexible routing. Brilliant user interface with intuitive controls, navigation, and display. Versatile mixer options. Writing for EM, I've witnessed many evaluations of products based on whether they are evolutionary or revolutionary. With its innovative coupling of classic synthesis and contemporary musical-instrument technology and design, the Origin manages to satisfy both criteria easily. This is the first hardware synth I've wanted to buy in nearly a decade; need I say more?”
Electronic Musician
On Origin Desktop
“I highly recommend the Origin Keyboard. It's an inspiring piece of well-designed gear at a fair price. It isn't cheap, but you get a tremendous amount of sound engine for your money. Although the Origin has lots of useful and interesting factory programs, it's one of those synthesizers obviously designed with programmers in mind. If you like to build sounds from scratch, you could spend many happy hours and years exploring and programming the Origin Keyboard. If live performance is your gig, it could very effectively take the place of half a dozen vintage keyboards onstage. I was especially impressed by the well-thought-out versatility of the ribbon controller, which may be reason enough to prefer the keyboard model over the module.”

On MicroBrute
“Getting creative with the routing is what makes the Microbrute so much fun—and ensures its usefulness in the studio for years to come. The MicroBrute is an amazing deal that meets all needs with savage style.”
Future Music
On MiniBrute
“MiniBrute offers you a good value quality - price on its options”
Future Music
On MiniBrute
“A great little synth, which manages to pack a lot of punch into its modest frame. The final word on MiniBrute is that we're seriously considering buying one - though we might have to wait for the 'PolyBrute' should Arturia decide to make one!”

On MicroBrute
“This synthesizer has a whole bunch of new characteristics as interesting as unique”
Beatport
On MiniBrute
“The MiniBrute combines 21st-century amenities like USB MIDI and the festival-friendly Ultrasaw waveform with vintage tools like the Steiner-Parker multimode filter, arpeggiator, and a thoroughly nasty feedback circuit in its signal path”
Electronic Musician
On MiniBrute
“Are we crazy for giving a monosynth an Editors’ Choice Award in the 21st century? We’d be crazy not to, because the MiniBrute is packed with features, built like a tank and, most importantly, sounds fantastic.”
Electronic Musician
On MicroBrute
“An inexpensive monophonic instrument with flexible modulation routing and a Steiner-Parker multimode filter that provides vintages tones without sounding like an ARP, Mg or Oberheim®”
Estrada Studio
On MicroBrute
“The MicroBrute - with its own characteristic sound - is one of our favorites.”
Keyboard US
On MiniBrute
“This real analog monosynth looks and plays like the love child of an ARP Axxe and an Octave Cat. The filter from the rare Steiner-Parker Synthacon has an aggressive sound you won't find elsewhere and the arpeggiator is wicked decent. Be warned: if you use the MiniBrute just for Dubstep, we will find you.”
Keyboard Magazine
On MicroBrute
“If you’re an analog head, the Arturia MicroBrute is definitely the way to go.”
Keyboard Magazine
On MicroBrute
“The sound is anything but “pretty” compared to other contemporary analog synths, but that aggressive character is what makes it essential to my sounds. This synth is meaty and macho like nothing else. If you don’t already own a ’Brute, it’s clear that you will. At this price, practically everyone will.”
KRHome Studio
On MiniBrute
“More fun that a SH-101, equipped with a filter that surpasses more expensive vintage models, available at a very reasonable price, the MiniBrute should meet with success that will be very well deserved.”
Music & Musicians
On MiniBrute
“Between its brilliant simplicity and modest price tag, the Arturia MiniBrute is one of the most accessible pure analog synthesizers available”

Anatomy of the Brute
La technologie qui a distingué les Brute et fait aujourd’hui référence dans l’univers de la création musicale analogique.
Brute oscillator : An original analog oscillator that combines multiple waveforms, complex wavefolding, and built-in Brute Factor feedback for intense feedback.
Steiner-parker filter : A legendary multimode filter introduced in the \'70s, remade and enhanced, and approved by Nyle Steiner himself. Crunchy, biting, velvety smooth, and everything in between.
Patching : The Brutes possess the ability to rewire and reroute your audio signal and voltages, from semi-modular CV connectivity to the intricate Modulation Matrix.
