ARTURIA MICROBRUTE Ufo | Limited Edition 25-key Analog Synth

MicroBrute UFO 

Limited Edition 25-Key Analog Synth

Unidentified frequency oscillator. A tribute to the analog resurgence that Arturia helped shape, MicroBrute UFO revives a classic success with a bold new look. Landing on Earth in a highly limited run, ready to fly off the shelves ! MicroBrute UFO delivers raw analo power with an extraterrestrial edge. Equipped with the iconic Steiner-Parker filter, a very unique oscillator, versatile sequencer, and a patchable Mod Matrix, discover the same massive brute sound, recast in space black with martian-green detailing. Compact, bold, and ready to explore analog from other worlds.

Brute Sound

From hard-hitting analog percussion, to electrifying monosynth leads, to planet-sized polyphonic structures - the ultimate analog ensemble.

100% Analog Power

Harness the raw energy of analog synthesis, sharpened with modern character; Steiner-Parker filters, Brute oscillators

Patchable Mod Matrix

Modulate the sound of the MicroBrute by connecting modulation sources and destinations. You can also use it to connect with external gear. With the MicroBrute's stackable patch cables, you get even more modulation possibilities!

Hands-On Workflow

The tactile immediacy of analog synthesizers, brought up to speed with modern music makers in mind. Sequence, patch, and tweak to your heart’s content. No menu diving.

Monophonic Synthesizer

The single analog oscillator is capable of generating sawtooth, square, and triangle wave shapes simultaneously, allowing them to be blended together to create complex waveforms. It also allows for the addition of a one octave sub square wave plus an "overtone" control for adding harmonics. The Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) has switchable square, saw, and sine waveforms and an adjustable rate, with its default destination set to modulate the pitch of the oscillator. A depth control allows for adjusting the amount of modulation.

A built-in 64-step sequencer allows for inputting notes one at a time to create rhythmic patterns. Its internal memory is capable of storing up to different eight patterns and the sequences can be backed up to a computer using the included editor software.

• Oscillator features signal enhancing controls, including Ultrasaw for generating thick sawtooth waveforms, and Metalizer for bringing harmonics and pulse width modulation
• Steiner-Parker designed filter section with low pass, band pass and high pass modes, as well as "Brute Factor" control for adding saturation and enhancing low end
• Attack, decay, sustain and release (ADSR) for shaping the envelope of the sound
• Mod matrix allows you to reroute default destinations of the LFO and ADSR controls using the four included stackable mini-jack patch cords
• CV/GATE connections for using the MiniBrute with modular synth components
• USB MIDI I/O and standard MIDI input for interfacing with your computer and other MIDI gear
• Audio input for using the MicroBrute as an audio processor
• Standard pitch and mod wheels
