Arturia has revealed new ‘Noir’ editions of its MiniBrute 2 and 2S synths and the DrumBrute Impact drum machine, giving potential purchasers a stealthier colour option for a limited time.

Whereas the standard versions of the instruments have splashes of colour, the special-edition models sport completely black exteriors, making them particularly suitable for emo kids and Bruce Wayne.

Internally, these analogue beasties are the same as the regular Brutes; check out the video below to discover the differences between the MiniBrute 2 and 2S.

You can find out more about the Brute Noir editions on the Arturia website.
