Microbrute vs Waldorf rocket

[ZxZDeViLZxZ]

Anyone have either or both and what's their thoughts?

[mrdorianjames]

Don't have either but I've been eyeing the Microbrute because of the analog inputs and outputs and a midi to CV converter. I plan on getting it to start a eurorack modular synth.

Yeah I have a volca keys volca beats and volca bass so I think the microbrute would fit right in

I have the microbrute. Had it for about 3 months now and I love it. Very versatile in the sounds that it can make. One of the things that attracted me to it was the small size and limited controls. Fits perfectly in my work station and forces you to get creative to come up with new sounds. The patch kit that come swith it also adds more options.


I have it set up with midi as well to control some stuff in ableton.

If I had one criticism I would like to have had bigger keys. I'm not a piano player but at times i'll accidently hit keys then I'll have to rerecord. IF this is a deal break for you, you can check out the minibrute but it cost more money.

Lotta people say the microbrute is more powerful

Yeah I would agree... I almost purchased one jut recently but I had to calm the rgas down... Until I start getting back intro production heavily there's no reason for me to start dropping money for no reason.... Cash in the bank is likely more beneficial so yeah I've stopped spending lately was getting out of hand because had been selling off gear..... Ideally I can finish selling off gear and maybe pick up or maybe just save cash

Don't sleep on the CV capabilities of the Micro/Minibrutes. Get yourself an expression pedal or another synth with CV out/in and you can do some wild stuff.

lmfao I know what you mean. The microbrute was my last purchase then i told myself I need to calm down. There's really nothing more I need. I was selling and buying like crazy last year but I've settled on my current set up. There's always going to be the next best thing and I'm always going to want it but with credit cards comes great responsibility! lol

I've seen a couple videos with it used in combination with out synths. It looks absolutely insane but I currently on a purchase freeze (see above comments) lol

Just bought the Microbrute. I really love it. It gets pretty crazy. My only complaint is I wish they would have given it CV control of the LFO rate instead of saw. That way you could have the envelope control the LFO rate, but I guess that's just a matter of preference.
