Arturia MicroBrute UFO Synthesizer
Key Features:
- Analog Signal Path: Fully analog from oscillator to output, delivering warm and authentic sound.
- Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO): Offers three waveforms: Saw, Pulse, and Triangle. Includes waveform modifiers such as Ultrasaw, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), and Metalizer for added harmonic complexity. Sub-5th generator adds depth and richness.
- Steiner-Parker Multimode Filter: Switchable between low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes. Features resonance that can self-oscillate for creative sound design.
- Brute Factor: A unique drive control that adds saturation and distortion, enhancing the raw character of the sound.
- Modulation Matrix: Patchable CV matrix allows routing of modulation sources like LFO and envelope to various destinations. Compatible with modular systems and includes mini-jack patch cables.
- Step Sequencer: Built-in sequencer with up to 64 steps per pattern and 8 pattern slots. Real-time control over tempo and gate length.
- LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator): Offers three waveforms and can be synced to tempo or pushed into audio rates for FM-style modulation.
- Connectivity: USB MIDI and standard MIDI DIN for integration with DAWs and other gear. CV/Gate inputs and outputs for modular compatibility. Audio input allows external signal processing through the filter and Brute Factor.
- Compact dimensions: 325 x 221 x 60 mm
- Lightweight: approximately 2 kg
- Distinctive UFO-themed design with black and green color scheme
- Includes power supply, patch cables, and preset sheets
- Suitable for analog synth enthusiasts, live performers, and modular users
- Great for creating basslines, leads, drones, and experimental textures
- Ideal for studio production and live performance setups
Number of Keys: 25
This instrument has 25 keys, equivalent to 2 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.
Keyboard Type
- Mini-Key
- Velocity-Sensitive
Polyphony: 1
The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.
LFO: 2
An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.
Envelope: ADSR
The ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) type envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of your sound. The ADSR components are detailed as follows: Attack: Specifies how quickly the sound reaches its maximum volume upon activation. Decay: Specifies the time it takes for the volume to drop from maximum to sustain. Sustain: Represents a stable volume level that is maintained as long as the sound is active. Release: Specifies how quickly the volume fades to zero after the sound has been released.
Oscillators: Yes
A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.
Pitch Bend: Yes
The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.
Modulation: Yes
Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.
Sequencer: Yes
The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
