Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Arturia MiniBrute 2. Is this eurorack compatible analog synthesizer and successor to the original Arturia MiniBrute worthy of its legacy? Is it the best beginner instrument for modular synthesis?

Thanks to Klangfarbe for letting me use one of their floor models
