Arturia MiniBrute 2S Noir is the pad-and-sequencer version of the MiniBrute 2: the same two-oscillator analog voice and Steiner-Parker filter with a 48-point patchbay, driven by 16 performance pads and a three-layer 64-step sequencer instead of a keyboard.
It is built for groove-focused producers and modular users who sequence rather than play keys.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is different from MiniBrute 2?
The 2S replaces the keyboard with 16 pads and a deeper three-layer sequencer. The analog voice and patchbay are the same.

Does it have MIDI and USB?
Yes. 5-pin MIDI in/out plus USB MIDI.
Which should I choose, 2 or 2S?
Choose the 2 if you play parts on keys, the 2S if you build patterns and modulation sequences.
