Title: Polybrute as midi remote controller (in Cubase 12)?
Post by: robinius on July 29, 2022, 09:59:06 am

Is it possible to use the control panel of the Polybrute as a midi remote controller?
I would like to  control some other software synths/ plugins. For example it would be nice to use the Morphee or Ribbon to control Swam Instruments...
How does this work?

(It's no problem to use use the Polybrute Connect Software within Cubase to control the Polybrute itself and record track automation data... I guess there could be a way to let these data control other instruments...)
Any help for my problem/question?

I would be pleased!

All the knobs and sliders as well as the ribbon, and morphee can send MIDI CC, so it'll work fine as a controller

Is there any turorial for the use of the Polybrute sending MIDI CC in a DAW?
Is there anybody experienced in controling Software-Synths with the Polybrute?
Greetings from Berlin…

I don't know of any tutorials specifically for the PolyBrute.

When you have enabled  "Settings/MIDI/Enable CC on Knobs" the procedure to use it with your DAW is the same as for most synths being used as controllers, so any such tutorial should do. For starters you can assign CCs to Quick Controls in the track inspector, and many plugins have the ability to "learn" CCs from an external controller (Arturia soft synths can do this, so read the manuals for those if you plan to use any).

Hi,

I suppose the question was initialy that : when you ADD a remote control in cubase 12, they are already some templates including Arturia's keylab.
So it will be cool to have the same thing / template for the PolyBrute :D
