One more nice demo: Arturia Microbrute – new analog Synthesizer
Some sounds taken from Arturia´s new baby – the MicroBrute. A very tiny 100% analog synthesizer with the same sound like his big brother MiniBrute. There are several new features like the Stepsequenzer and the Patchfield with CV for some Modulations. The very good sounding Steiner-Parker-Filter with HP, BP and LP is also present. The MicroBrute is the perfect complement to his Big Brother or a Modular-System. More info at:

Icebreaker Audio has released Calc-U-Synth VR for Reaktor, an emulation of the classic Casio VL-Tone calculator/synthesizer combo from the ’80s.
