Arturia MicroBrute UFO Limited Edition
A Compact Analog Synth with an Out-of-This-World Sound
The Arturia MicroBrute UFO Limited Edition is built for synth purists, modular users, and mobile producers looking for hands-on analog power in a portable design. This collector’s edition of the popular MicroBrute features a sleek, sci-fi-inspired look—fitting for a synth known for its raw, unfiltered sound.
With no presets or menus, the MicroBrute invites you to shape every patch from scratch. Its intuitive front panel puts real-time control at your fingertips, making it perfect for live performance, spontaneous creation, or learning the fundamentals of synthesis.
Pure Analog Signal Path, Pure Sonic Character
At its core, the MicroBrute delivers a fully analog signal chain—no digital conversion, just voltage-driven sound. This means warm, responsive tones with natural movement and harmonic depth, ideal for everything from deep basses to aggressive leads to unpredictable textures.
Versatile Oscillator with Unique Shaping Tools
A single VCO offers Saw, Square, and Triangle waves, which can be layered using individual level controls. But the MicroBrute doesn’t stop there. Sculpt and distort your signal using:
- Ultrasaw – Adds detuned waveforms for lush, chorus-like depth.
- Metalizer – Folds the triangle wave into sharp, metallic tones.
- Overtone – Generates extra harmonics (sub or fifth) for added body.
These shaping tools are highly interactive, letting you craft evolving, gritty patches with surprising depth—all from a single oscillator.
Steiner-Parker Filter and Brute Factor Distortion
The legendary Steiner-Parker multimode filter offers low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass modes. Its smooth resonance and self-oscillation capabilities make it a standout for both classic filtering and experimental sound design.
The Brute Factor control introduces analog-style feedback, ranging from subtle saturation to wild, distorted chaos. It’s a powerful tool for adding punch, presence, or total sonic mayhem.
Built-In Sequencer and Modulation Matrix
The 64-step sequencer lets you create and store patterns right on the synth—no computer needed. It’s great for building hooks, loops, or full live sets. Paired with the patchable modulation matrix, you can route the internal LFO or envelope to parameters like pitch, filter, or waveform shaping for dynamic, evolving sounds.
Need to expand? The CV/Gate connectivity lets you integrate MicroBrute into modular setups or control external analog gear. It’s a compact synth that plays well in both standalone and hybrid environments.
