This was quite informative. And fwiw, I'm glad you're "not a keyboard player" because you spent your time showing the elements of the synth, rather than showing off your playing (which is quite tiresome when someone is trying to understand the technicalities). Thanks for taking the time to share this.
THANK YOU!!! This was an EXTREMELY well put together tutorial! I just picked up the Microbrute and this video along with the bass tutorial of yours has definitely put me in a good starting point to learning it.
excellent videos - down to earth knowledgable - I can feel that you really know what you are talking about and love it - all the reasons why I have been able to take away a lot of knowledge from these videos - if you start online tutorials I'd sign up surely! Thanks
I'm saving up for Arturia MicroBrute. While I'm gathering the money slowly week after week, I'm searching up for all possible videos about this little beast.
A triangle wave contains only odd harmonics, as does a square wave. It is the amplitude of these harmonics that give the two waveforms their distinctive sound. A sine wave contains one - "1st harmonic" or "fundamental".
Hey brother, I love the videos... definitely helpful. The Microbrute is a monster... just need a Mini now lol. Btw I cracked up when you said "spaz", lol. Thanks player.
Very nice, but 1) The LFO Sync is for the sync to the sequencer. Unfortunately, with sync on, you will not reach audio frequency any more. A sync via USB or MIDI would be new to me. 2) Triangle does not have only one harmonic, else it would be a sine. 3) finaly, for such who want to know, the brute factor is a feedback loop from Audio.out to VCF in. So similar to the resomance but it overdrives the filter. The technique was often applied on the KORG MS20 Cheers
If I connect this to a DAW such as FL studio, would I be able to actually modulate all the different knobs on the minibrute through the software? Like can all the parameters be sent via MIDI?
I like your video. But as I was listening, you said that the triangle wave does not add any harmonics past the fundamental. I thought this is close to the truth but not quite. The triangle wave is the one that is closest to the sine wave. So having it not add harmonics would make sense except that the sine wave is the only Waveform that only adds its fundamental frequency. The triangle adds odd harmonics at a ratio of 1/(number of that harmonic). So a triangle’s third harmonic is added at an amplitude of 1/3 x fundamental amplitude. 1/5 for the 5th harmonic, 1/7 for the 7th, 1/9 for the 9th, and so on. To test it out, use something like VCV Rack so you can get a sine wave. Compare that sound to that of a triangle wave on its own. You will really notice the differences at the higher frequencies as the sine wave becomes more piercing compared to a triangle wave. I have always thought that a triangle wave sounded a little weak on its own, not enough character. However, I like your use of it to add more body to a sound.
but he's still better at explaining this stuff to people than someone who sounds like they could tell me about how much Starbucks coffee they intake and how horrible their marriage is *cough-whitepeople-cough*
*talks in white middle American daddies boy voice* Great job Sherlock you figured out the joke. And it's not racist because all stereotypes are real, like really real. Lmao take a joke bro. ✌🏽
your demo is excellent, but at the end of the day for me the arturia microbrute is by far the worst sounding box ever made...if you sample a voice, you can create better sounds of it and it cost nothing.

I wish all tutorial vids were as well thought out and so succinctly worded. You da man! Thank you
Watched your video on how to make bass sounds on the Microbrute. You really simplify synthesis . So clear and easy to follow. You are the "TEACHER"
This is how you showcase a tool, very well explained!
Please bring back this series! I love your hands on approach to synth programming.
This is the best tutorial I have seen on this microBEAST!
You're an excellent teacher.
Double that!

Your videos offer me so much knowledge about the microbrute, thank you!!!!!
The sounds you are getting out of this little synth are amazing. Thank you.
excellent video ! very inspirational. i love my microbrute and im still learning how to get the most out of it everyday
I'm saving up for Arturia MicroBrute. While I'm gathering the money slowly week after week, I'm searching up for all possible videos about this little beast.
I just got my hands on this beast and your tutorial is excellent, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You are great at explaining clearly and thoroughly as you go through your tutorials. Thank you for your videos. Just subbed.
Thanks for sharing, it's amazing how much sonic goodness comes from these tiny beasts.
A triangle wave contains only odd harmonics, as does a square wave. It is the amplitude of these harmonics that give the two waveforms their distinctive sound.
A sine wave contains one - "1st harmonic" or "fundamental".
Awesome tutorial. I’m learning a lot. Great next steps after reading the manual. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Very good explanations. Thank you.
Great video, thank you very much for these
Good explanation, just got a microbrute today and was wondering how it all works.
Good tutorial! :)
Thank you for the video - your review / tutorials are very helpful!
You have the best videos man.
what an excellent tutorial
Hey brother, I love the videos... definitely helpful. The Microbrute is a monster... just need a Mini now lol. Btw I cracked up when you said "spaz", lol. Thanks player.
Well played
Excellent tutorial
very cool and helpful thank you. and quick!
Sweet couple videos man thank you !
Awesome video! keep up the good work :)
great lesson, thank you
thanks a lot teacher
now its ok ...sounds better.......good demo
Super educational!
Epic tutorial 😎✌️
Excellent vid to tide me over while I'm waiting for my brute to arrive! Is the clicky distortion / clipping a recording artifact? It worries me!
Great vid. Thank you!

Is it possible to save your own presets?
Great tutorial but please next time don't use your noise gate for your mic it sounds like my video is lagging.
Sounds like Sachin Tendulkar is an underground audiophile who's geeking out and talking to me.
You do know you're fucking brilliant, right?
15:33 nice!
2:29 thats no classic saw waveform

your pretty cool right!
Is it posible to play Jump of Van Hallen? Dont you want me? - Human League...
Nope you'd need a polyphonic synth
thank u
This guy sounds like he could tell me about my bank balance and recent transactions
but he's still better at explaining this stuff to people than someone who sounds like they could tell me about how much Starbucks coffee they intake and how horrible their marriage is *cough-whitepeople-cough*
And they say non-whites can't be racists. Way to prove them wrong.
BTW, I hate Starbucks and my marriage is great.

Great job Sherlock you figured out the joke. And it's not racist because all stereotypes are real, like really real.
Lmao take a joke bro. ✌🏽
use vst

Horrible sounds . Absolutely useless unit...
you should end your videos with a "thank you, come again" :D
How do you get it to make sound? It's pugged in, the lights are on, all the knobs are at 12 o'clock but no sound WHY? NO SOUND WHY?
