MicroBrute VS MiniBrute [Analog synths]
MicroBrute VS MiniBrute [Analog synths] Posted on: 03.11.2013 by Nereida Jasnoch HeyI'd like to get a "cheap" analog synth (korg volcas will be out of stock for a while) and I can't decide if I should get a MiniBrute or Microbrute Overall I'm more inclined to get the MiniBrute because that one has a sine wave and the Micro does not. Are there some things I might have overlooked ? Which one would you get ? | |

In contrast, the Mini has two envelope generators, but they are hard wired to VCA and VCF. Micro has no noise generator Micro has a more complex suboscillator Micro has only one LFO, but again, it's freely assignable. |

| Jeana Avenarius 27.12.2013 | Pulled the trigger on a MINIBRUTE. Just using it as a flavor, and it sounds fantastic for the price! Looking at a WALDORF PULSE 2 for "Front Line Assembly-type in-ur-face cut-threw-mix." (can't help it, I've gotta do it!) This guy is selling MICRO BRUTE for $269.00 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/151191410903 The price made up my mind for me. You can always buy a MINI BRUTE later if you feel the need |
| Rebbecca Fennell 06.11.2013 | just watched the vid negatron posted - hands down the micro. yeah its simpler but its also got more for expansion. ive been intending to get both but if i had to choose only one id go micro |
| Rebbecca Fennell 06.11.2013 | depends on your usage. me personally, if im going to use a single synth for bass its usually just a straight sine, the one feature the mini has versus the micro i enjoy on other synths is tweaking the sound of the filter envelope attack versus the amps attack. cant get bogged down in what has the most features - there are plenty of features on synths that are simply not for everyone or at the very least for all types of sounds; these are clearly for bass, basic leads/reinforcing more complex leads. if youre fairly new to this and money is an issue id recommend the micro |

| Nereida Jasnoch 04.11.2013 | I believe I kinda prefer the mini, but it's €180 more expensive. |
| Nereida Jasnoch 04.11.2013 | some more features that are only on the mini: he VCF envelope is also used for modulation of PWM\metallizer. With individual amount settings. LFO has more waveforms on the MINI. Destinations have individual amount settings. Envelopes have Fast\Slow setting. Ultrasaw has a rate parameter. Sub has sine\square setting. Notch filter. Individual headphone and master out volume controls. Aftertouch Mixer has faders source for both posts: http://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers |

| Tobias Merrills 03.11.2013 | actually the microbrute looks friggin rad but the mini brute does to! so torn. |
| Tobias Merrills 03.11.2013 | This is a awesome question considering i had no idea there was a micro addition. I am curious as to which one has more features as well. Played with the mini brute in guitar center and i shook the whole place. But if i could do the exact same thing just on a smaller device....why not! |
