I'm cackling at the idea that every synth video I do drives up the price and I'm just doomed to keep performing capitalism without any monetary benefits over and over
These things are such a pure education tool. I don't say that to undercut it's sound quality or use as a tool. It is just that it is SO UNPARALELLED for helping synth newcomers get their head wrapped around all the vital concepts. I sold it a few years after buying, and I can't say I miss it per se but I have fond memories of learning on it, jamming with friends, and unlocking its potential with some reverb pedals. The Microbrute is a rite of passage.
Part of the problem too is that while it was revolutionary when it first came out, other manufacturers quickly caught on that there was a market there and started producing similar synths at a similar price point that are quite frankly better. Novation came out with the Bass Station II, Korg with the Monologue, and while it’s digital and has touch capacitors instead of keys, Arturia’s own minifreak is in that same range. And if people are willing to go controller plus module, then the options go up dramatically.
No not better, just different. The Arturia stuffs have a unique sound that no one duplicates. I've got all the synths you just mentioned, and plenty more, but the brutes are their own thing.
"When you are on stage, you are one of the instruments" is seriously one of THE things that people need to hear of all time. SO many people forget this. I have been very fortunate to have been part of music groups that are... well... analog... (brass ensembles / big bands etc) and even playing rhodes and my ms20 mini in a band, you can't just kick open the filter and blast away everyone. learning to listen to others as I played, learning to know where to play on the keys, learning how to adjust a synth to be an "instrument" in a band, instead of exploring all the sounds it can make and trying to show off. Guitarists fall into this trap as well, and me having a past as a show offy trumpet player definitely understands the feeling. Great video, I remember the microbrute coming out, not being impressed when I played one at a friends house, and ultimately deciding it would be better for me to go deep and get an ms-20 mini, a more complicated but in my opinion, great synth if you learn to play it. I only got to learning how to do that recently with some improv jam sessions where i was patching on the fly, and before that it was "just another synth voice" to me. I think that the micro/minibrute may be similar, but there's obviously way less to tweak. This was very interesting and got me thinking about music again, thank you.
Great video, like your humor - will you humor me too? my micro brute got a diy make over with midi out and some other patch 'holes' almost 8 years ago (when I surreptitiously bent over it backwards) and since then lives semi-stuck together with an upright mini brute (without the key bed) with its own additional diy 20+ patch bay. There is also a dedicated sawitch which lets me control the mini via micro internally, leaving the micro midi out plug free to control a third party. Cheers from Zurich
I love the video! I also have a minibrute 2 but havent really played with it much. Id love to see a video on your thoughts on it, and maybe an overview! Im grateful youve made this synth review series and cant wait to see more!! Keep rocking on lml
Not a MicroBrute owner, but I did buy an original MiniBrute from new almost exactly nine years ago. I can't say I use it every day like you but I have used it continuously since then with the only problem being the usual stickiness on the knobs and side cheeks. Played a few gigs with it, used it as a MIDI controller and USB to 5-pin DIN MIDI converter, used it with a Mother-32 and it's been solid the whole time. I don't know if that means anything, but I hope your Mini 2S is solid as well.
It has been discontinued, yet the Mark 2 version has not released yet....patiently waiting so it can drive the original prices lower. I had one and loved it, but had to sell it to pay a bill years ago. I want to get another...but you can still find um for 200 bucks. There was this one sound it made that was so powerful....I want to get one again just for that sound, no other synth has been able to make that sound for me.
I've had mine for about 8 years and haven't had this issue. Not discrediting what you're saying, but mine has been fine. To be fair though, I never really used it to gig. I tried to add it as a way to switch between E Bass and synth bass but I couldn't convince my band of it's potential lol. My MicroKorg though has several dead keys. But I totally agree with you that cheap should mean it's expected to break. Cheap or not it should last. Great synth though and great video!!
It was my 2nd synth and my first analog. I got in '14 or so and until recently it worked just fine, even though i haven't always been nice to it. Just a couple of days ago the sustain level stopped working. (It‘s now fixed at zero) but mine has worked for just shy of 10 years. I never toured or gigged with it, but i had it with me at a couple of recording and jam sessions and always just thrown in my backpack, no case no cover. Nothing. I love the sound of this beast, for me it‘s the ms-10 of it’s time. I played and recorded so much with it and despite the simplicity i always found new sounds that i liked with it. I can see myself upgrading to the minibrute2 aswell.
I like the Micro for playing around with voltages on other gear. The sequencer outputs CV/gate, and you get CV outs from the tempo-synced LFO and envelope. This makes it fun to use with a modest modular or other patchable monos. I’ve had mine since they came out. No reliability issues.
I still enjoy mine and it's made itself useful by being a good controller for a Moog Werkstatt. The two pair up nicely. I got mine for $200 and think that's what they should be worth.
Really insightful video! Never owned a microbrute, but the microfreak (and thor from reason) really taught me a lot about synthesis. From the local live shows i've been too synths are rare and always been curious what synths would be viable on a local scene. Because as you mention beer spill or thief can happen.
also the knobs get sticky af lol. all my knobs are sticky. you can get cool metal replacement for not too much money though. mine was bought in 2013/14
i really want to buy another microbrute now lol fr this thing captures a very particular flavor of mid-late 70's budget synths if you dont use the Brute Factor or the wavefolder, and if you do use those things its like instant Throbbing Gristle in a can
Although unlikely, it IS possible you got (un)lucky. I got an MPC Live II and the main left channel didn't make any sound. I did a warranty exchange and the new on had an issue with the screen reading touches that weren't happening. The third one... so far, so good. Also, I haven't heard many stories of issues with them, so I think there was maybe a bad batch, or something. It DOES make me nervous about ever buying a used one, though.
This was fun AND cathartic. I bought an early MicroBrute, I still have it, and what failed on it was the octave switch. Which sucks, but is also cool because now it goes an octave lower than it’s supposed to. Sometimes… because it’s broken.
It can easily be bricked if you plug/unplug the audio cable while it's switched on, as I've recently discovered. Apart from this feature, it's a great little synth.
Yeah I'm a big fan of the microbrute. I was always an arturia fanboy when they were coming up, with their software integration with their controllers, had factory with the hardware, and had many debates where I defended their honor and tried so many times to convince people that Arturia was chaging the game. And Arturia proved me right. I picked up the Minibrute when it first came out. I already had some semi-modular stuffs starting with the Doepfer Dark Energy, but Minibrute was one of the first to really penetrate the market. But the build quality is crap, keys that break, plastic that disintegrates, and it's stupid heavy and big for what it is. Since then I now own multiple keysteps, a minibrute 2, a couple minibrute 2S, Microfreak and vst collections that I actually paid for. Anyway, I too have owned several microbrute. Super small and convenient. I can get a few on a desk easy and they have THAT Arturia sound. Super underrated gear. And Microbrute isn't nearly as fail at the disintegrating plastic and broken keys as minibrute is. The hydrasynth really is good though. That keybed on the Explorer as an mpe controller alone is worth the price, never mind the sound engine. Microkorg XL is crap. The R3/Radius is a joy to use. Well, the R3 isn't a joy, but it is relative to XL. Oh, and the Squire Classic Vibe is great. You showed a crappy Affinity or Sonic or Bullet or whatever. Finally, the 2S is awesome :)
Agh I thought I got a picture of the Classic Vibe whoops! Also I still really want to get an R3 someday even though I have zero reason to ever own one. The Radias engine hasn't aged tremendously well but I have real nostalgia for the XL and having a full key version would be nice.
I have a minibrute 2s and I really like it. I just wish it was smaller. There are so many things that are unique about it but it takes up so much space compared to my other two analog monosynths that I sometimes wonder if I really need it
Okay, I'm not quite sure why this was the first video suggested in my feed this morning. I am a synthesizer nerd and I do watch a lot of synthesizer channels, that's probably it. The title made me click and as soon as you made the joke about the micro Korg I hit the sub button
My partner has owned 1 for years, & in the back of my mind I’ve always been like, “in a pinch: good little midi controller.” NEVER occurred to me that there was no non-usb midi 🤦♂️
I have never entertained mono synths it just feels like if I’m going to spend money I want a bit more. Now thinking about it at its price point and add a zoom ms-70 cdr and it can be a killer set up
Hey! I really liked how you said what had to be said. Fortunately enough mine hasn’t died on me yet, got it for 150 as my first synth and I agree with everything you said, except that it’s still alive so,.. break a leg. I have been looking to get into polyphonic synth now. Any thought on the Deepmind 12? I know I know sorry
I had to replace all the knobs and sliders on mine as the plastic they use degrades over time and becomes all sticky and nasty.. I'd still use it as I do like it, it's a fun mono synth. But recently the USB connection stopped working and now I can't change the midi channel for it (because you can only do this via connecting to a computer?), so it now it plays all the time - no matter what Midi ch i change to, the damn thing plays along with my other gear. Had to disconnect it and now it just sits there.
I got a used mini brute in 2013 and it's currently in the needs to be repaired pile. Hoping the power just needs to be resoldered. I miss that sine wave low end and wanna hook it up to my best step pro.
i was about to buy a microbrute but yeah build quality is important. now i lean more towards getting a novation bass station 2 instead or minibrute 2S.
Could they be repaired? I repaired a broken Nektar MIDI controller with a lot of bodgewires, since it had a broken panel. Now one of the LEDs no longer lighting, but I cannot really bother with it as I have very limited time for music, most of which is spent on developing music-related software instead.
Exactly, it surprised me that he just puts them on the wall without looking into what the cause of the issue might have been, maybe it's just a blown cap or a loose solder point. Always worth taking to a tech to see if it's worth repairing, will still probably be cheaper than buying another unit, even if second hand...
When I got a Microkorg, the dude was also selling one of these, and I tried it out briefly. Sounded fine, but I knew I was just going to want to play the presets, so I went with the Microkorg
You can do better for the money IMHO. The much hated Korg Poly800 is a beast as is the Sonicware Liven 8 bit warps. I have never paid more than 200 bucks for a poly800 with shipping included. I got one with a hard case and local pick up for 138 bucks. Liven 8 bit warps makes beautiful little chimes and some really nasty groans.
when you said you were making a video trashing a beloved synth I was worried you were coming for the Yamaha DX series. as someone who loves the noisy digital cheesiness and whose first synth was a DX100, i’m relieved. that being said, i will never buy a Microbrute. thank you, Mr. Jorts
@@NintendoSixtyJorts well.. bad I guess? Like I always wanted a Tetra.. and I’d still be considering it if you hadn’t raised the prices on me! ;-).. but I presume it would be painful to try and program.. I think.. it’s as if you have a certain synth aesthetic.. but it’s not so much what you like or don’t like as it is.. how one navigates the market when one has limited resources… when push comes to shove.. what do you choose.. and from where I’m standing, looking at you… you choose pain! I suppose we all choose pain.. or one pain versus another? Idk.. it’s a weird thing this journey we make through synths..
You offended me bro, so you telling me the the 6 months I spend in the studio micro automating my synth sounds. Checking it in the car. Tweaking it more. ………..

it's a cheap entry level synth, of course its not gonna be the best thing in the world and maybe not even the best for the money. but it's a tool at the end of the day, so i would recommend not saying "it's the worst" because yes i understand you meant it's bad for you personally but im sure some can take it as the synth sucks just in general which in my experience is not true. but then again, my experience.. so it's all just personal opinion and yes you can get i guess better synths for the money but it all just is very subjective and all at the end of the day. not upset or anything but just kinda mentioning for other people. this is subjective so just be aware of that. this might work amazing for others or it might not, and thats ok.
I feel like my point got misinterpreted: I love this synth dearly but the build quality has left me with three randomly dead ones. That's where I'm mad about it. Otherwise I agree that this synth worked amazing for me.
Imagine this somehow drives up the price of the MicroBrute even though your overall message is 'don't buy it, it's not worth it'.
I'm cackling at the idea that every synth video I do drives up the price and I'm just doomed to keep performing capitalism without any monetary benefits over and over

Chorus is also great for the Microbrutes sound
Take the board out. Figure out an upgraded case and replace the faulty components.
are you actually saying it does sit nicely in a mix? tha't often the problem with lots of rather budget things : ther'es something missing...
the Micromoog and Microbrute are similar in many ways, but the Moog is better in almost every way.
The "why I owned 3" made me laugh cause that's me with the Korg Monologue 😂
To be fair, it's likely that people who've never heard of a synthesizer have heard of Yamaha. They make a huge variety of products.

I feel like my point got misinterpreted: I love this synth dearly but the build quality has left me with three randomly dead ones. That's where I'm mad about it.
Otherwise I agree that this synth worked amazing for me.
Fatality rate lol
