Black is the New Black: Arturia Release Brute Noir Range

We first got a taste of Brute Noir treatment with Arturia’s amazing MatrixBrute Noir released last year. It remains unclear as to whether the sleek black finish had any positive effect on the signal path but one thing’s for sure, it looked and sounded stunning.  

Now Arturia have extended the Noir treatment to three of their desktop instruments with ‘all-black exteriors and subtle red and blue appointments’. Being limited-edition releases, I have a hunch these stealthy analog machines are going to disappear pretty quickly. Here’s what Arturia have to say on the subject: 

Meet the Brutes; where vintage synthesis and cutting-edge technology collide in the name of creative freedom and controlled sonic chaos. Now MiniBrute 2, MiniBrute 2S, and DrumBrute Impact are going under the radar with sleek all-black exteriors for a limited time. 

As a special treat for Australian customers, MiniBrute 2 and MiniBrute 2S Noir Editions will also include a copy of Arturia’s V-Collection 8 at no additional cost. This offer is only for the two aforementioned Noir Brutes purchased via authorized Australian dealers. So talk to your local Arturia dealer today, before they’re gone!
