Expanding the MiniBrute

The RackBrute 6U is a two-row Eurorack frame, styled here in Arturia's Noir Edition look. It bolts straight onto a MiniBrute 2 or 2S, letting sound designers expand this semi-modular synth with any modules they feel would fit their sound. Thanks to the MiniBrute's built-in patch bay, said modules can slot right into the sound engine, while the frame's clever mounting system – with an adjustable tilt angle – keeps everything solid and locked in, so there will be no patch cables getting yanked out when the rig is on the move. Alternatively, the 6U frame can be hooked up to the single-row RackBrute 3U or run standalone. The rear support bar doubles as a carry handle, ensuring easy portability.

For up to 32 modules

The 6U frame gives hands-on mod heads two rows for mounting their favourite modules, with a total of 176 HP to play with: 83 HP up top (with 5 HP already taken up by the power supply module) and 88 HP on the bottom. The bus board in turn offers 32 connectors for modules, and power comes through the panel of the built-in supply module, which also has a mains switch and LEDs to show the bus voltages. And it certainly provides plenty of juice for standard modules: Up to 1,600mA on ±12V and 800mA on 5V. The bus board sits in the top row, so the available depth there is a bit tighter at 53mm – still plenty for skiff modules. Down below, the full 75mm is ready for use.

More for your Mini

The Arturia RackBrute 6U was designed primarily for owners of the MiniBrute 2 and 2S, as these synths feature a patch bay with 48 inputs and outputs for audio, CV, and gate signals. As such, their internal sound engines can be expanded with modules from the endless Eurorack universe, tailored to any creative idea. Want a digital oscillator, a granular sampler, extra modulation, effects, or more specialist modules? Then just drop one into the RackBrute's frame and run it using the MiniBrute's keyboard or sequencer. Of course, the 6U frame is aimed at users who want to add a more comprehensive set of modules – for simpler setups, the RackBrute 3U frame will often do the job.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

A "brutal" sonic spectrum

Certain add-ons for the MiniBrute are almost must-haves, or at least very nice to have: A macro oscillator with different synthesis types like wavetables, FM, Karplus-Strong, and more will immediately and effectively broaden the sound palette. The OSC module runs in parallel with the internal oscillators via the synth's pitch output. If the RackBrute is running multiple sound generators in the frame, they're summed through a mixer module first, then patched from the rack's output to the MiniBrute's External In. For things like the flexible modulation of internal and external OSC functions – PWM, pitch for hard sync, wavetable control – extra modulators (envelopes, LFOs, CV sequencers) are a good add-on, as they invariably offer more functionality than the built-in versions. And because it's always worthwhile to include devices like multiples, inverters, attenuators, and other similar utilities, the RackBrute is likely to fill up quicker than expected.

A good complement to a minibrute but not a standalone rack
MilesP 25.01.2025
I have a minibrute and its a natural compliment…but as a unit on its own i would not recommend. The power supply on the left and the plug onto the power bus tale up 11u and you will need a 6u blanking panel. The lower row on my unit is misaligned, so you have to leave 1u free at each side and have a gap…and you cannot secure a 1u blanking strip in, on the left the units frame intrudes, on the right there is no screw hole.

Für sich genommen ist es ein solides Rack mit mehr als genug Steckplätzen und Stromversorgung und alles was es braucht um einen zweiten Rack Bruce oder einen Minibrute 2 anzuschliessen.Ich besitze drei davon und einen Minibrute 2.
Und jetzt kommt mein Gemecker:
So stabil und sinnvoll das Rack konstruiert ist, der Stand und die Anschlussmöglichkeiten sind es nicht.
Sinnvoll nutzbar ist es eigentlich nur in einer Position. Sobald ich, wie eigentlich vorgesehen ein weiteres Rack oder den Minibrute verbinden will und zum Beispiel das Keyboard etwas angewinkelt stellen will, kippelt und wackelt die ganze Konstruktion und lässt sich nicht sinnvoll fixieren (nein brutale Gewalt hilft nie).
Besitze ich zwei davon, kann man sie verbinden, die Kabel herausziehen, zusammenklappen und der hintere Ständer dient als stabiler Tragegriff. Eigentlich nett gedacht macht das nur Zuhause Sinn, da es kein passendes Behältnis gibt, der den Tragegriff mit einbezieht.
Die Gewinde und die Schrauben des Tragegriff/Ständers sind sry bescheiden.
Mein Fazit: Das Rack selber wäre als reines Tischgerät richtig gut. Der Tragegriff/Ständer könnte auch gut einzeln als Extra verkauft werden, ohne in der Packung zu liegen (bitte mit besserem Design).

Débutant dans le modulaire , il m’a été très facile de monter le rackbrute . Également facile de racket les modules. Son inclinaison en biais , propre à arturia , est reposante. L’espace qui est laissé en bas est calibré pour caller exactement un keystep, une drumbrute impact ou tout autre produit arturia de ce format. Bref , un plaisir !

Not bad

I like the colorway a little bit more than the original. The black sides do look a little plasticky but not tacky. It’s advertised as 88 hp, but each row can actually fit 89hp depending on the modules
