Arturia Spark - my impressions

[Tony Scharf]

I was content not wanting a minibrute, but that video sells it well.
Even with crappy youtube audio, it doesn't sound the same like
everything else.

What I can't figure out is if there's a delay of some sort on it (possibly automatically tuned to the key) or if it's straight dirty direct feedback and the apparent tuning comes from the filtering.

>>> The end of the signal path is occupied, as it usually is, by a VCA controlled by a dedicated contour generator. Long ago, Minimoog aficionados discovered that they could take the output signal from the VCA (ie. the audio ‘out’) and route it back into the synth via the external signal input to create effects ranging from a mild thickening of the sound up to uncontrolled chaos, depending upon the gain of the external signal channel. Today, the MiniBrute provides this loop without patch cables, and the Brute Factor knob controls the gain. As you would imagine, this combination of the Steiner-Parker filter and this Moog-like characteristic is unique to the MiniBrute.  <<
