Minibrute controlling a MiniMoog Model D – Ableton live
Background video description:
Using the QMVS-48 S-Trig cable from Synthesizers.com for the Gate ( with a Mono 1/4 to mono 1/8 adapter since the minibrute uses minijacks) and a ad infinitum cable for the pitch to control a 1976 MiniMoog. Works pretty well and sequences well from Ableton.
Being able to use hardware with a DAW opens things up.
also the sequence at the end is a NIN bassline from SIN. I did not adjust for for latency.
Any comments or something i missed or are totally ignorant about please let me know

Press release:
Arturia is proud to announce availability of SPARK EDM, a powerful production and performance software suite dedicated to EDM (electronic dance music) production, and EDM, another aptly-named Expansion Pack for its revolutionary SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine hybrid hardware/software beat production centres, as of March 15…
Capable of standalone operation or seamless integration with any DAW as a VST, VST3, RTAS, or AU plug-in, SPARK EDM caters to the rhythmically remarkable requirements of EDM producers. However, as any discerning dance floor-filling EDM producer knows only too well, EDM, of course, covers a lot of musical ground. So it’s just as well that SPARK EDM comes complete with no fewer than 30 cutting-edge kits — ranging from electro to dubstep, techno to tech house, with much in-between and beyond, it’s all there for the taking!
But that’s barely scratching the creative surface of SPARK EDM. Each of its superb-sounding 480 instruments are based on Arturia’s acclaimed TAE® (True Analog Emulation) synthesis technology and high-resolution sampling, each with 12 adjustable parameters, allowing users to sculpt sounds to their danceable heart’s content — punch through the mix with a filtered kick-ass kick drum, adjust a synth hit’s attack or decay time, re-pitch a tom, and much more besides!
Besides that, SPARK EDM users can customise or simply use any of the 960-plus preprogrammed patterns as the building blocks for kick-starting their next EDM masterpiece. Moreover, thanks to the integrated 16-track mixer, levels, pans, and sends can all be automated, and the mix can be further fine-tuned with 14 high-quality effects (including bit crusher, chorus, delay, destroyer, distortion, flanger, limiter, multi-band compressor, multi-band EQ, phaser, plate reverb, reverb, space pan, and sub generator).
SPARK EDM’s powerful, yet inherently user-friendly interface makes beat- and pattern-creation a breeze — especially when using the onscreen step sequencer situated at the top of the default centre panel. Hardware drum machine enthusiasts will feel right at home here. And thanks to advanced looping modes cleverly combined with the onscreen XY pad’s real-time slicing and filtering controls, users will be producing phenomenal EDM beats with the best of them in no time at all — perfect for live performance!
Speaking of live performance, all of SPARK EDM’s onscreen knobs and pads are easily MIDI-assignable, making them compatible with a variety of keyboard- and pad-based controllers.
At the same time, those SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine owners out there already hooked on hands-on beat-making need not feel left out in the cold since the EDM Expansion Pack adds those same 30 cutting-edge EDM kits to the already extensive libraries within Arturia’s acclaimed hybrid hardware/software beat production centres. Clearly every beat and sound can be twisted and tweaked therein, thanks to the intuitive and creative workflow that’s at the very heart of the Creative Drum Machine concept.
Quite simply, SPARK EDM and EDM Expansion Pack provide all the drums, stabs, one-shots, and FX needed to produce propulsive dance floor hits! So start afresh with SPARK EDM or expand your Creative Drum Machine hybrid hardware/ software combo… and get the party going on the dance floor.
SPARK EDM can be purchased as a software download for €99.00 EURO/$99.00 USD or boxed for €119.00 EURO/$129.00 USD from Arturia’s Online Shop: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/online-shop.html
The EDM Expansion Pack requires SPARK Creative Drum Machine Version 1.5 (or higher), and can be purchased as a software download for €29.00 EURO/$29.00 USD from Arturia’s Online Shop: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/online-shop.html“
Techno demo of Elektron Analog Four, NI Maschine MK2, Arturia Minibrute
Here is a demo Jordan Passmore recorded of the Elektron Analog Four, Native Instruments Maschine MK2, and Arturia Minibrute. The A4 is doing the bassline and main melody, the Minibrute is doing the filtered clicks and Maschine is doing the drums. The Minibrute is being ran through a phaser, analog delay, analog chorus, then finally through the A4. The A4 is only affecting the gating (VCA trig) of the passed thru audio.
Reviews and demos of the new iMini from Arturia
As announced yesterday, Arturia is rolling out an iPad version of its Minimoog-emulating Mini V softsynth called iMini.
The Mini V, released back in 2003, was the French music tech company’s first software synth. So it’s fitting that a version of it represents Arturia’s first foray into the app world, a sector that seems to be growing by leaps and bounds of late. Like the Mini V, iMini has three oscillators and a 24dB-per-octave filter based modeled on those found on the Moog classic, plus analog-style chorus and delay effects. The synth also does things the original couldn’t, like play polyphonically, and it features a number of presets to help you get started on creating sounds.
A performance page in the app, geared toward touchscreen play, features a latch mode and two assignable XY pads. iMini easily syncs with other iPad apps, and it’s compatible with the Retronyms Tabletop modular environment, so you can pair the iMini with a number of other effects or make music with multiple copies of the synth. You can grab a copy of the synth as of today through the App Store, and part of the proceeds of your purchase help benefit the Bob Moog Foundation.

I don’t know if I can… Ok, I will do it… Sorry… Amongst all the car manufacturers, I was sure that BMW would be the first to bring one of it’s cars to our iDevice… So, the day has arrived! Let’s launch the App! … … Oups, it is not a car, it is a Moog, a mini Moog! Top! (And sorry again… I promise, I will be serious from now on…). So, let’s play a sound… Wahoo!!! So fat!!! I love it!!! The main screen is exactly the same as a real mini Moog… Another window allows you to control parameters with 2 Pads (X / Y), an Arpeggiator too and a third window the Fx (Chorus & Analog Delay). That’s all… I think that some of you think that I’m kidding… No, I’m not kidding. That’s all! If you want more, download Tabletop (it’s Free, with a lot of Apps within the purchase that you don’t need to buy. Note also that Tabletop gets better and better, so if you don’t know this App, don’t hesitate to try it… I will update its Post as soon as possible…). So, iMini in Tabletop allows you to do everything..(almost!)… First, to record an automation or your performances: you will be able to share them on SoundCloud or via the Sonoma Audio Copy feature. But you will be also able to create your own Arpeggiator or Sequence, to add FX, Filters, to Glitch your sound, and much more… In fact, I realised today that Retronyms has created its AudioBus version for iOS (iMPC is also available in Tabletop…). So, my rating… A Killer App! (The sound quality is… So fat!). I understand that some of you will not really appreciate having to use Tabletop for the extra features… I use so many Apps everyday, even for my personal projects, that today it is no longer a problem for me, on the contrary, I love to be able to jump from one App to another… But I can understand those who don’t…

DESCRIPTION
iMini is a recreation of the classic 1971 Minimoog™ synthesizer, one of most iconic synthesizers of all time.
Based on the TAE® technology found in our award winning Mini V software, iMini offers a level of sound quality never before found on the iPAD as well as over 500 sounds by leading sound designers.
We have also partnered with the Bob Moog Foundation so that a portion of each sale goes to support their work in music education via the Dr. Bob Sound school program, making available the archives of Dr. Bob Moog and funding the dream to build the Moogseum.
The Minimoog™ synthesizer was made famous by artists and bands such as Stevie Wonder, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Keith Emerson, Devo, Jean Michel Jarre and more. We now bring the features and sound of this classic to the iOS platform.
The iMini not only recreates the look and feel of the most legendary synthesizer, it does it with unparalleled sound quality. iMini is based on the award winning Arturia Mini V software that was created in partnership with Dr. Robert Moog himself, back in 2003. Thanks to this heritage, continuous research and refinements over the years, iMini comes with amazing sound quality and a large collection of preset sounds created by top sound designers such as Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream) and Geoff Downes (Asia).
What will you do with it?
First you can play the iMini’s numerous sounds from the iPad keyboard. You can create your own sounds and start building your personal sound palette.
If you are an owner of the Arturia Mini V software on your Mac or PC, you can import and export sounds between your laptop or desktop Mini V and iMini.
You can also control iMini from a MIDI keyboard via CoreMIDI and integrate it into your studio or live performances.
But this is not all; iMini is ‘Tabletop Ready’. Tabletop is a free iPad application that allows you to integrate iMini into a full studio of devices. With Tabletop you can build an entire song, with drum machines, FX’s, sequencers… and of course the inimitable Minimoog™ sound.
Tabletop Ready™
The connect page is also your avenue to open up a whole new world of possibilities with iMini via Retronyms Tabletop application.
Tabletop™ is a free app for your iPAD that allows you to integrate iMini into a complete studio environment. In Tabletop you can use multiple instances of iMini; record your performance into a real-time sequencer; automate any of the parameters; add effects; process other modules through the iMini filters, etc. Tabletop also features number of in app purchase options to add more effects and instruments from other 3rd party companies.
