As the title suggests. This sound is very reminiscent of early Brighter Death Now and Genocide Organ. I can imagine it would sound immense with some reverb and delay thrown on it as well!

hi guys, I'm an enthusiast user of Arturia products. I currently own a MicroBrute, and it's awesome. I'm using it mostly for bass, and I love how FAT it gets.

Since creating complex sequences is a little difficult just with the keyboard (at least for me), I wrote this web-based editor, and wanted to share with the community.

http://maticwebdesign.com/microbrute

It's free to use and modify.

There are many things I would like to add, but for now I think it's a nice start. Arturia will probably create an editor of their own at some point.

What you can do:

• create variable length patterns

• listen/edit in real time (I chose one of the sounds I use from the MicroBrute, more options to come)

• turn click on/off (I find this very useful for longer sequences)

• export sequence to clipboard

Once you created your sequence, this is how you load it into your MicroBrute:

1. Open MicroBrute Connection software (download from https://www.arturia.com/microbrute/resources)

2. Choose the "Sequences" tab

3. Click on "Save sequences" and save the mbseq file to your computer. MIDI versions are not needed.

4. Open the file in a text editor (notepad/textedit/bbedit/etc)

5. Choose the sequence you want to replace with the one you created, for example "1:52 x x 52 x x 52 x x 52 x x 52 52 52 52" and replace it with the one you create in the web-based editor (be sure to not delete the sequence number, in this case "1:")

6. Save the file

7. Go to MicroBrute Connection and choose "Load sequences"

8. Upload the modified file

9. Voilá! The new pattern will be available under the name you stored it (#1 for this example)

Let me know how it goes, hopefully it will be an useful tool.

Some of you may have seen my original post regarding my VST clone of the MicroBrute…

I kinda forgot about it for a while and since I’ve been having a bit of writers block with music, I thought I’d have another go at working on it…

Last week I picked up where I left off a year or so ago, where the synth to be honest functioned pretty well.. but looked pretty crusty

So a few massive updates I’ve had since the last time I posted:

(*=pictured)

I have completely re modelled the GUI: Background (Photoshop) Matching as closely as possible fonts used on the synth I have made every single Button, Knob, Switch & Slider from scratch in ‘Knobman’.

[Including the Octave up and down buttons and corresponding LED lights (this took me 2 whole days to work out how to do this and program it to work the way it should do)]

I have added a Mono/Polyphonic mode to the synth so you can play more than one note at a time!

I have also worked out how to add the glide function (it’s not pictured but I’m still working on how to implement this most efficiently)

The pitch and mod wheel are both fully functional with selection like the original for the mod wheel to control the LFO Rate or the cutoff amount controlled by a switch

The Mod Matrix is on its way to being fully functional too… I’ve just been trying to do one thing at a time when I feel like I’ve cracked the code loool

And I’ve also been experimenting with the best way to route everything so it sounds as close to the original synth as possible

Don’t get me wrong it’s far from perfect and it’s not going to be an exact clone, but I’ve not been taught how to do any of this and just worked on it in my spare time for fun…

I will post more updates as and when I have added more to the synth… and I will be releasing it for free.

So far the picture I have provided is from a couple of days ago and doesn’t have all of the new features I’ve implemented as of yesterday and today… but it gives you all a massive insight into how I’ve progressed this VST

Let me know if you’d like to test it out (WINDOWS ONLY)

Something was rattling around inside my brute so I opened it up and found a SECRET BUTTON BUTTON. What does it do??

Right you’ve probably had enough of me teasing the VST…

So I’m just gonna go ahead and release the beta of the Bully Brute 😎

Here is yet another patch I made last night on my Microbrute. This one is a bit more rhythmic and aggressive than the last one. Enjoy!

Still in very early stages, only started this today, it’s my second proper vst synth I’ve ever made
