Following on from [yesterday's announcement of the Minibrute 2](https://steemit.com/electronicmusic/@fourfourfun/tech-arturia-announce-the-minibrute-2-synthesizer) - and the subsequent slip of the Rackbrute Eurorack case - Arturia are apparently making the run up to NAMM 2018 a sprint. Now we have the Minibrute 2S to consider.

The main engine of the unit - the two vcos, filter, waveform mixing, semi-modular patchbay - all appears to be the same. However, rather than having a Keystep keyboard attached, the 2S features a Beatstep Pro style sequencer. This proves to be an exciting prospect as the sequencer not only will control the notation aspect of this monophonic sequencer, it can control individual parameters, allowing a unique amount of control over the tonality of your output.

With the Brute series getting a series of shots in the arm, will we see a second stab at the DrumBrute in the coming weeks?

There's no word on pricing at the moment, but don't be surprised if it comes in at the £575 mark like its sister product.
