Summon Extraterrestrial Analog Energy

The same pocket-sized powerhouse that earned a cult following, recast for deep-space missions. MicroBrute UFO Edition packs a full analog voice, patch-point control, and hands-on sequencing into one compact unit - perfect for desktops, studios and live rigs alike.

Brute Sound

From unruly basslines and piercing leads to wild, unstable harmonics - MicroBrute delivers a sound that’s raw, edgy, and unmistakably Brute.

100% Analog Power

Mix and shape waves with MicroBrute’s VCO and built-in modifiers, then sculpt your sound through the iconic Steiner-Parker filter and Brute Factor drive.

Patchable Mod Matrix

Forge your own signal path: patch modulation sources and destinations to sculpt wild, custom tones - or connect external gear for more creative control.

Hear It in Action

From sub-weight basses and razor leads to acidic sequences and cinematic drones - all from one powerful oscillator, a classic filter, and a few smart modifiers.

Patch the Unknown

Mini-jack patch cables (included) let you reroute envelopes, LFO, pitch and more in seconds. Cross-patch external gear, feed CV loops or jack straight into your modular for interplanetary modulation.

Link Up and Lift Off

USB-MIDI, DIN MIDI and CV/Gate play nicely with DAWs, drum machines and Eurorack. Route external audio through the brute filter, sync to clock, or let MicroBrute run your whole rig.

Command Your Sound

From gut-punch basslines to sci-fi bleeps, MicroBrute UFO Edition adapts to any sonic mission. Twist a knob for instant attitude, sketch a new sequence on the fly, or reroute the Mod Matrix for wild, custom modulation. No menus - just hands-on analog response that’s uniquely yours.

Get Hands On

MicroBrute UFO Edition is a synth for fearless sound designers. Push the Brute Factor into overdrive, fold waves with the Metalizer, and patch signals in ways no manual ever intended - pure, untamed analog expression.

A Closer Look

Explore MicroBrute UFO Edition, from the expression controls to back panel connections - built for bold analog adventures.
