1. BRIDGING THE GAP
In the past decade Arturia spearheaded the revival of the analogue synthesizer with
some very advanced products such as the MicroBrute, the MiniBrute and the magnificent
MatrixBrute.
During that same decade many musicians embraced the Eurorack standard. Not surprising:
what makes the Eurorack environment so popular is that it enables you to create a unique
individual sound. Whether it's EDM or complex Ambient music, you'll find Eurorack modules
to match your music style.
With each new product generation Arturia added interface options that made it easier to
connect its product range to a modular rack. In recent years the BeatStep Pro has become
the controller of choice for many musicians in the Modular world because it features Gate,
Pitch and Velocity outputs you can use to control external oscillators. In addition it has eight
Drum gate outs that you can use to trigger Eurorack drum modules.
The MiniBrute 2 and the RackBrute take that integration a full step further. The MiniBrute 2
is an advanced analogue synth with an integrated patchboard that enables you to create
complex connections between all of its components and your Eurorack.
It doesn't stop there; Arturia has now created a high quality Eurorack case: the RackBrute.
The RackBrute attaches to the MiniBrute 2 and MiniBrute 2S but can also be used as a
standalone unit. As such you can use it with all Arturia controllers that feature Gate, Pitch,
and Velocity outputs.
1.1. The Eurorack standard
In 1996 Dieter Doepfer created a case based on the 19-inch rack format which was (and still
is) a common format to store effects units and other studio gear. He also set the standard
for the power supply and the bus boards in which you plug your modules. It was to become
the standard of what we now know as Eurorack.
After a slow start his Eurorack format quickly gained momentum: the modules were
low cost and very compact. In the years to follow the number of available modules
grew exponentially. This phenomenal growth is easy to understand: as a musician/sounddesigner you can now create your own customised instrument.
1.2. A fascinating adventure
As soon as you start filling your case with modules, you'll be faced with an endless stream
of questions: What kind of modules do I need? Why are certain modules so popular? Do
I go for a standard setup with analogue oscillators, or is it better to go digital? West Coast
synthesis or East Coast synthesis?
The answers to these question come slowly: by reading forums online, comparing user
experiences and most importantly, by diving in. And if you're not happy with the choices
you make; there's a thriving secondhand market for used Eurorack modules where you can
sell your modules if they don't deliver what you expect.
Whatever you do, take the time to get to know the modules you currently own inside out.
It will help you to avoid a situation where you sit in front of your system tweaking knobs
randomly, without understanding what's happening, but hoping that something magical will
happen. This a certain recipe for losing interest very fast. To sustain the fascination you feel,
learn the functions of a module one by one and test your knowledge continuously. It's the
only way to experience the reward that comes with be able to create the sounds as you
imagine them.

2. RACKBRUTE OVERVIEW
The RackBrute is an adjustable Eurorack housing system that will store, protect, and power
your sound modules. It consists of a rail-based rack in boat format, a solid power module
and a bus board that offers you plenty of space to plug your modules in. LEDs on the
power module will signal the status of the power lines that feed your Eurorack modules. The
RackBrute comes in two sizes: 3U and 6U.
2.1. The RackBrute Link System
Whether you prefer to patch your modules facing up on your desk, at an angle while
standing, or face-on while performing, RackBrute has you covered. You can even fold down
the system for safe travelling or storage.
More importantly the RackBrute link system allows you to combine units that are linkenabled such as the MiniBrute 2 and 2S and the RackBrute 3U or 6U.
Linked to compatible systems
Linking multiple cases Folding option
3 Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - RackBrute Overview
3. THE RACKBRUTE CASE
The width of a Eurorack case is measured in "HP". Officially "HP" is the abbreviation for
"Horizontal Pitch", but don't be surprised if you hear it described as short for "Hole Points".
"Hole Points" refers to the screw holes on the rails in the rack. It makes sense to describe
it this way because it gives you an idea how much space a module will take up. The most
common sizes are 48HP, 84HP and 104HP. 1 Hp equals 0.2 inches or 5.08 mm. Vertically
a Eurorack case is measured in "U". 1U equals 1.75 inches (or 44.45 milimeter) In general
Eurorack modules are 3U in height. The exception is the 1U utility module, but you don't see
those very often.
Eurorack cases come in two models; as boat case and skiff case. A skiff case is rather
shallow: hence the name. Many of the more interesting modules will not fit into a skiff case.
It has a certain advantage: it is easier to transport. The boat case is more common and
suitable for Eurorack modules. The RackBrute is a boat case.
The RackBrute 3U and 6U cases are 89 HP wide. 5 HP is taken up by the power module.
That leaves 84 HP for modules. In the 6U RackBrute you have an additional 89HP available
in the bottom row, more than enough for a starter system. If you use the RackBrute in
combination with the MiniBrute 2 or 2S your options will increase even further as this
enables you to offload many functions from the RackBrute, thus creating more space for
interesting Eurorack modules.
On the top part of the power module you'll find the on/off switch. On the lower part you'll
see three LEDs that indicate whether the three power lines on the RackBrute are functional.
More about this in the Understanding power requirements [p.8] paragraph.
3.1. Viewing angles
RackBrutes can used in a number of ways. Without the Link system attached it will lie flat on
your desk. With the Link system in the low position it will tilt slightly giving you a better view
off the modules. In the u pright position the RackBrute will take up a minimum of desktop
space. The standing position will lift the RackBrute to eye-level and make it possible to link it
to other Link-enabled systems, such as the MiniBrute 2 and 2S.
Viewing angles
The 3U RackBrute has the same options and can be linked to another 3U or 6U unit.
Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute Case 4
The RackBrute 3U
The 6U unit can be linked to another 3U or 6U unit and folded in a similar way.

5 Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute Case
3.2. Assembling your system
Setting up the Rack
1. Fix the cross and handlebar with the screws provided. Tighten moderately.
2. Fix the second cross on the other side of the handlebar. Firmly tighten the four
screws on the handle bar.
3. Place the RackBrute on a clean, flat surface. Insert the tightening washer on the
quick fastening screw.
4. Moderately fasten the quick fastening screw on the orange Link port.
5. Repeat the operation on the other side.
6. Put the RackBrute on its standing position.
7. Make sure the RackBrute is at its maximum and firmly tighten both quick
fastening screws.
♪: The procedure for linking compatible Link units to each other such as the 6U, 3U, 2 and
2S is similar. Remember: do not connect/disconnect modules when the rack is powered. Warning:
Intermediary positions of the Brute system cannot be fully secured with the quick fastening screws.
When opening and closing the unit you should always loosen the Link port. ! Important note: Do not
connect/disconnect modules when the rack is powered.
Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute Case 6
3.3. Rails
The rails of the case allow you to place the modules in the rack. Once your collection of
modules starts growing, you often find yourself unscrewing modules and moving them to
another, more logical or more relevant position. The RackBrute uses a system of threaded
nut strips, unlike older systems that often use sliding nuts.
Nut strip
The nut strip as used on the RackBrute has the advantage that you always have a clear idea
of how many screw holes you have left to install modules. You'll never find yourself in a
situation where you have to unscrew all your modules because your sliding nuts are on the
wrong side of the case.
3.4. The bus board
Inside the case you'll find the bus board and the electronics of the power module. The bus
board is where you plug-in your modules. If you look carefully you'll see 20 sockets in the
top row. And, in a 6U case, 12 sockets in the bottom row. Next to the sockets you'll see labels
that explain what sort of signals flow through the power lines of the bus.
The 16 pins on the bus board are arranged in pairs. The lower part is the most important
part, that's where you'll find the +12V and -12V lines that power your modules. The +5V line
is used mainly by digital modules. On occasion you'll encounter modules that connect with
a 10 pin cable that only uses the lower half of the bus board.
From top to bottom the lines carry:

voltages
♪: The RackBrute standard is compatible with the Doepfer A-100 powerbus.
7 Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute Case
3.5. Understanding power requirements
Eurorack modules differ in their power requirements: some are power hungry, some will
only need a minimum amount of power. Passive multiples, that allow you to make copies
of control signals require no power at all.
The Power supply of the RackBrute is designed to provide a consumption up of 1600mA
on +12V line and 1600 mA on the -12V line. In a 6U unit this power is distributed over four
separate circuits. The +5V line can deliver up to 900 mA.
Rackbrute electrical specifications (Typical values):
• +12V : 1600mA
• -12V : 800mA
• +5V : 500mA
• Max power load : 31,3W
This gives you plenty of headroom to power at least 12 to 20 modules per bus. But even
in a solid environment as the RackBrute it is important to have a good idea of the power
your modules will consume; underpowering your modules can cause them to malfunction
(glitches) and could even damage them.
When choosing modules it good policy not to exceed 80% of what the power supply can
deliver. That leaves 20% headroom for current spikes or "misbehaving" modules.
♪: When buying modules online make a habit of checking the current a module draws. A typical
specification looks like this: +12V: <40 mA -12V: <10 mA +5V: <10mA
For example: a typical 3U unit would draw a total of 440 mA on the +12V line, 175 mA on the
-12V line and 80 mA on the 5V line. As a rule modules draw most of their power from the
+12V line and somewhat less off the -12V line. Digital Eurorack modules with an LCD screen
need a 5V line to function.
In the early days of Eurorack you had to add u p these values manually to know whether
your power supply could deliver enough "juice" to power the modules in your rack. It's still
good practice to do this at least once, but nowadays there are options online that do this for
you. Refer to Installing modules [p.9] for more information.
Note: The 6U RackBrute has 2 rows of connectors: 20 on the first row and 12 on the second row. A
wise precaution is to spread the load over the two bus boards to avoid overloading a row.
Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute Case 8
4. INSTALLING MODULES
If you plan to install several modules it is a good idea to give some thought to how you want
to place them in the RackBrute; do you want to group your modules by function or distribute
the functions? Group oscillators together, filters together, or spread them over the case to a
place where they have a dedicated function?
A good practice is to recreate your RackBrute on Modulargrid. It will give you a good idea
whether your modules will fit.
♪: Besides being a good source for infomation, Modulargrid has two tools that will help you to make
the most of your RackBrute: the power calculation tool and the space optimization tool. The spacer tool
will help you to optimize the available space in your RackBrute.
Installing your first module is an exciting moment! To avoid damaging your module please
carefully follow the steps outlined below. The layout of the RackBrute will help you to make
the right decisions when installing your module.
The Following steps are necessary to install a module:
• If it is on, please turn off the RackBrute and disconnect it from the mains
• Check the documentation that comes with your Eurorack module. It will most
probably show you how to connect the module to the power bus. In the rare
situation that these instructions differ from the ones below, follow the instructions
of your module and double check with the manufacturer of your module.
• Check the ribbon cable that comes with your Eurorack module. The cable should
have a red stripe on the side.
board.
The sockets on the RackBrute are designed in such a way that there's only
one way to insert the connector of cable, but even so:
This red stripe must line up with -12V on the bus
! To protect your purchase and your wallet visually check the supplied flat cable for production errors
and make certain that it is not misaligned. Also, ribbon cables are not always built to standard.
• Check whether the red stripe on the flat cable leads to -12V on your module.
Cable up close Connector and protrusion
• Carefully insert the connector of flatcable into the socket on the bus board. The
protrusion should make it impossible to insert it the wrong way around.
• Attach the module to the rail with the provided screws.

Screw and washer
• Double check all connections and reconnect the power cable of your RackBrute
• Flip the power switch of the RackBrute to its "on" position.
• Sit back and enjoy.
Tip: use plastic washers to protect your module from damage.

5.3. RackBrute & MatrixBrute
The MatrixBrute is probably the most advanced Eurorack controller currently available. It
was designed with Eurorack connectivity in mind. At the back of it you'll find 12 inputs and 12
outputs that acce pt or provide signals at Eurorack level. Fig 18 lists the standard in puts and
outputs.
MatrixBrute inputs and outputs
• VCA
• LFO1 Amt
• Ladder filter cutoff
• Steiner Filter Cutoff
• VCO2 Metal
• VCO2 PW
• VCO2 Ultra
• VCO2 Pitch
• VCO1 Metal
• VCO1 PW
• VCO1 Ultra
• VCO1 Pitch
All of these are available as both inputs and outputs.
The Gate input can be used to trigger the MatrixBrute externally. The Gate output can be
used to trigger external melodic sequencers or drum sequencers.
5.3.1. The MatrixBrute as a Control Voltage Mixer
So what sort of control voltages come out of the outputs at the back? Surprise: they output
the sum of all control voltages in a column! All of the modulation sources can be routed to
each of the 12 outputs. The VCO 1 pitch output for example, outputs the sum of all control
voltages A-P active in the column below it.
How is this done?
When the Matrix is in MOD mode the CV voltage of any of sources A-P linked to one of the
12 in puts on the Matrix becomes available at the available corresponding output. Let's see
how this works:
In the example below we'll make the control voltage of LFO 1 available at the output named
VCO 1-Pitch
Here's the Matrix…
15 Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute and other Arturia products
The first 12 matrix positions
• First select the Modulation Matrix by pressing the MOD button.
• Now press button E1 to activate the routing from LFO 1 to the VCO pitch.
• Using a patch cord make a connection to a module on your RackBrute that
accepts control voltages. A VCO would be a good choice, because it gives you
immediate feedback.
• Now turn u p the level of the modulation amount using the control knob next to
the MOD selector. LFO 1 will now control the pitch of VCO1 on your MatrixBrute,
but the control voltage also appears at the VCO1-Pitch output at the back where
you can use it as a complex modulation source for you modular setup.
What this boils down to is that you have in fact a 12 channel Control Voltage Mixer and,
that on each of the channels you can sum control voltages from 16 sources to create a very
complex control voltage!
Arturia - User Manual RackBrute 3U & 6U - The RackBrute and other Arturia products 16
5.3.2. The MatrixBrute as a Scene Creator
The MatrixBrute is unique in that it enables you to store your patches in presets. Every
control voltage routing you create when the Matrix is in modulation mode can be stored and
recalled in a preset. When used as a Control Voltage Mixer as explained above this opens
up a new world of creative options.
One the disadvantages of working anologue is that it is difficult to change patches quickly:
moving from one soundscape to another is slow and often tedious. The MatrixBrute can
change that.. How?
• Connect the outputs at the back to a number of your favorite destinations,
destinations that match the musical purpose you have in mind. Then use the
Matrix in modulation mode to create a routing.
• Save this routing by switching the Matrix to Preset mode, holding SAVE + one of
the matrix buttons. Now create a new routing (leave the output connections as
they are) until you have sound that is to your liking. As sequences/arpeggios are
saved with each preset, you can save a different sequence/arpeggio with each
preset.
You can now use the Matrix in preset mode to recall up to 256 control voltage routings with
the touch of a button. Your MatrixBrute has become a scene generator that enables you to
quickly change between pre-programmed patch presets!
! Warning : Saving a preset will erase the previous preset present on the destination. Please refer to
the MatrixBrute manual for an overview of the available modulation sources.

5.4. RackBrute & BeatStep Pro
The BeatStep Pro is an ideal controller for your RackBrute. Its compact size makes it a
perfect addition to your RackBrute when travelling or performing. Pitch, Velocity, and Gate
signals of both Sequencer one and Sequencer two are available for control of Eurorack
modules. The eight Drum Gates can be connected to one of the many available Eurorack
drum modules, or you can use the gate signals to trigger any combination of modules.
BeatStep-Pro outputs
All sixteen pads can be used to trigger connected modules in the RackBrute directly even
when the sequencers are not running. In a similar way pads 1-8 will trigger modules in the
RackBrute connected to the drum gates.
Another interesting use of the BeatStep Pro is to use it as the master clock of your RackBrute
system. To make this possible the Beatstep Pro has a Clock Output.
Sync options of the BeatStep Pro
The Clock in put allows you to slave the BeatStep Pro to a clock module on your RackBrute.
A Sync button on the front panel allows you switch between different clock modes.
Please refer to the BeatStep Pro manual for more details

5.5. RackBrute & DrumBrute
The DrumBrute differs from the instruments featured above as it does not output triggers
but audio signals.
DrumBrute outputs
The audio signals can be plugged into Eurorack modules that accept audio level in puts. The
Mix output combines the output of the individual outputs. If one of the individual outputs is
plugged, this output signal will be omitted from the Mix output. This feature allows you to
exclude certain signals from the mix.
The available audio signals are:
• Tom Hi
• Tom Lo
• Cymbal
• Rim
• Marc/Tamb
• Zap
• Kick 1
• Kick 2
• snare
• Clap
