Arturia’s MiniBrute 2 and 2S are great synths at full price, but factor in a $200 saving on each of them  - bringing their prices down to $449 a piece - and you’re in firmly in bargain territory.

These are the hefty discounts that are being offered as part of this year's Black Friday music deals. Whether you go for the standard keyboard version, which comes equipped with a Keystep-style sequencer, or the 2S, which swaps the keys for a pad-based step sequencer similar to that on the BeatStep, you’ll have a great synth on your hands.

And there’s more: you can also save $100 on the DrumBrute, Arturia’s analogue drum machine, bringing the price of that one down to $349. This packs in a solid assortment of quality and characterful sounds, alongside deep and creative sequencing capabilities.
