Powerful analog
synthesizers & drum machines
The Brute range encompasses analog synthesizers and machines designed to forge rhythm, melody, and texture out of pure electrical voltage. Explore coveted analog sound with cutting-edge and experimental functions for wild and inspiring sonic results.
01
100% Analog power
These instruments create sound by controlling and manipulating electricity. The Brute range lets you shape electricity into audio signals, with every component adding its own flavor to the tone.
02
Brute factors
Every one of these synthesizers has unique features that make them truly irreplaceable: Steiner-Parker filters, master bus distortion, Brute Factor feedback, and rewirable architecture.
03
Hands-on workflow
No drop-down menus, no hidden options, these instruments are all about the tactile, instinctive experience of playing; letting the signal go straight from your brain to the speaker.
The exploration of sound matter
Harnessing the raw, powerful, organic nature of analog synthesis, the Brute range is the sound of voltage unleashed. From semi-modular keyboards, to Eurorack cases, to pumping analog drum machines, this is the exploration of sonic matter itself. Seismic bass, airy leads, and chewy sawtooth pads galvanized with heaps of electrifying character.

story starts
Fast forward to 2011, and digital was dominating. Software instruments were all the rage, and every popular hardware synth was digital in nature.
[...] when, at NAMM 2012, Arturia announced their first analog keyboard, the MiniBrute, armed with great sound and a price less than half that of its competition. Arturia had the foresight to recognize and inspire a coming trend: the re-emergence and eventual dominance of analog synthesis. Their timing couldn’t have been better.

Technology
Anatomy of the Brute
The technology that sets the Brute range apart, setting the standard for analog music making.
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.
