MiniFuse 4 Black

Arturia MiniFuse 4 Black is a 4-in / 4-out USB-C audio and MIDI interface for musicians, producers and content creators who need several instruments connected at once. Two front-panel mic, instrument and line inputs let you record vocals or plug in a guitar directly, while two additional rear line inputs can take a stereo synthesizer or drum machine. Four balanced line outputs and two headphone sockets with separate volume controls give you flexibility for monitoring and routing. With 24-bit / 192 kHz recording, stereo loopback and 5-pin DIN MIDI, the MiniFuse 4 brings recording, hardware control and computer audio capture together in a compact desktop interface.

Overview

Included Content

• 1 × Arturia MiniFuse 4 audio interface, Black
• 1 × USB-C to USB-A cable
• 1 × External power adapter
• Downloadable software after registration, including Ableton Live Lite, Analog Lab Intro, Rev PLATE-140, Pre 1973, Delay TAPE-201 and Chorus JUN-6

Creative Tools

• Record a vocal and guitar through the front inputs while keeping a stereo synthesizer connected to the rear pair. Capture each source on its own track so you can edit and balance the performance later.
• Plug a guitar or bass into a front input in instrument mode. Record a direct signal and try different amp simulations as the arrangement develops without having to replay the part.
• Use direct monitoring to hear the live input while tracking. Set the two headphone volume controls independently so you and a performer can listen at comfortable levels.
• Connect your main speakers to one output pair and use the other for a separate playback feed. Route a backing track or an alternate mix to compatible equipment without changing what you hear on your main speakers.
• Use stereo loopback to capture computer audio alongside a live microphone. Bring a remote guest, a software demonstration or a backing track into a podcast or livestream.
• Send MIDI notes from your DAW to a hardware synthesizer through the 5-pin MIDI output, then record its audio through the rear line inputs. Use MIDI In to bring a compatible keyboard or controller into the same setup.
• Power the interface with the supplied adapter to use the two USB-A hub ports. Connect compatible low-power devices, such as a MIDI controller, while keeping a computer port free.
• Start a session in Ableton Live Lite, build a keyboard part with Analog Lab Intro or use the included Arturia effects to add plate reverb, tape echo or chorus to a recording.

Ideal For

• Musicians recording vocals, guitar and stereo hardware instruments
• Home and project studios that need four analogue inputs

• Collaborators who need two headphone sockets with independent level controls
• Podcasters and livestreamers who need computer audio loopback
• Desktop setups that need a second pair of balanced line outputs
