As we all do, when I decided to splash a few hundred bucks to dip my toe into the synthesizer world, I did a ton of research and asking advice on Reddit and other places. I got all kinds of conflicting answers, and it seemed like every brand's beginner model(s) were either of two extremes: "the only real option" or "a waste of money" because they were underfeatured, too limited, too expensive for what you're getting, etc. The other big advice was to get a MIDI keyboard and try software synths first, but I knew I wanted to get an analog synth if I was going to bother at all (I need tactile hardware). Despite all the people dogging on MicroBrutes, this MicroBrute UFO analog synth caught my eye as being not only one of THE cheapest options but one that had just ENOUGH knobs and features that I wouldn't be overwhelmed as a beginner but wouldn’t feel like I was missing any crucial elements. I genuinely think, provided you can get this for under $400, it's a great starting point. My previous experience was playing around with the Korg Monotron line, and while that is absolutely the cheapest true analog synths you can buy, they're like toys by comparison (and yes, I know experienced synth fans will say the MicroBrute is a toy compared to a MS-20 or Mini-Moog). As for the hardware itself, aesthetically I adore the UFO theming, and to my eyes at least it has that "looks cool!" factor that I think some of us fall easy prey to with music gear. I am a huge sci-fi fan so the black and green color scheme, combined with the fun cow abduction art and the Brutalizer knob art, gives me old school videogame vibes and certainly X-Files vibes. Anyway, it's far better build quality than some people would lead you to believe. It is a compact synth, size-wise, but it doesn't feel as microscopic as the Korg Monotrons always did. The mini-keyboard feels good and responsive, and for a 6'4" guy with relatively large hands, I found it totally comfortable to play. It can sit comfortably in my lap or on a table, and it feels sturdy but not like a tank or an old school Nokia cellphone. At most I will criticize it for the sliders for Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release to feel a little cheap and imprecise, but everything else has a satisfying tactile quality I was looking for. For its feature set and functions, I will start out with a small criticism, which is that I don't think you can use the sequencer without connecting it to a PC. I lost my USB-B cable so I can't confirm this, but I tried everything to get it to work and it just doesn't. Now, that minor point aside, I LOVE how much they packed into this sub $400 synth. I think if I had even started with the Korg Monologue I would feel a little cheated because I like that the MicroBrute--while yes, having only one oscillator--has a mod matrix/patch bay to let you experiment with this feature on most other synths. Ok ok but how does it sound? Amazing! It puts out a TON of volume if you let it; I found even connecting it to my modest 20 watt amp that I had to keep the master volume knob very low. I used the patch overlay sheets that come with it* just to get a taste for the different sounds it can make and then experimented from there. I have a Roland RP-155 multi-effects pedal from about a decade ago and running the MicroBrute through it unlocked even more possibilities. Using the looper on that pedal I was making percussive, noisy drum loops or long, layered drones of varying timbre and delay/reverb times, and even after just a few sessions of playing around I was making the kind of music I would happily have released years ago after laboring with my guitar and GarageBand and Audacity. Bottomline: You could spend weeks researching your beginner synth, but you should just jump in if you can afford it and get the MicroBrute or something comparable**. For what it's worth, I am untrained on how synths work, on music theory, and certainly on how to "play" keyboards properly but this monophonic synth has been perfect to play around with and for start learning the differences between what a VCO and a LFO and an envelope filter all do. It’s in that sweet spot price-wise where it's not so cheap you're getting a glorified Korg Monotron but not so expensive that if after a couple weeks you realize it's not for you, you won't be out $600+ and can likely get some of your money back on the secondary market to boot. *I didn't see this mentioned in the product description but it comes with patch sheet templates so you can use washable markers to note your own custom ones and reuse them. **Especially if you don't mind not having the patching/mod matrix aspect, the Korg Monologue is probably a great option and isn’t too much more money than this. I’ve seen quite a few on the secondary market for the same price as a new MicroBrute.

I like a full hardware synth. My favorite one around this size is the DB-01 from Erica Synths. But if you don't have 600 bucks, this is a pretty decent alternative. As much as I like pure analog, it's a bummer not having preset saving. So I'm back to my Toraiz AS-1. That said, effortless leads. If you need a unique lead sound, you'll have no problems finding it with this thing. And it's not a plastic feeling as the microfreak, while doing a lot of the same things.

Dig it. But I recommend at least having a drum machine to sync a beat to it.

The first one I bought was no good so I sent it back, and bought another one and I’m sending it back. The tuning is terrible! It sounds different every time even if you let it warm up for over a half an hour. It’s not the shippers fault.

Huge sound in a small package. Build quality is great. Tons of cool sounds in this little guy if you're willing to spend the time and get creative.
