Title: Sync Microbrute with SPARK
Post by: DongKoo on May 09, 2014, 11:48:09 am
Hi.
Is it possible to sync the Microbrute to the SPARK controller via MIDI?
If so, how?
I just can't figure out ...

I try this (but that doesn't work):
- MIDI cable connected from SPARK MIDI OUT to Microbrute MIDI IN.
- On SPARK : Send MIDI from sequencer : YES, MIDI Output : Spark controller, MIDI clock sync : Master
- On Microbrute : Seq Control : Play : Note On, Step On : Gate ; Module Param : Sync : Ext.

Thx

Maybe setting the MB's sync to 'Auto' helps. Mine is set like that and receives MIDI clock from Reason without problems. I'm not sure though if the same works with SPARK. Good luck!

Thx to try to help.
But i've test ext, int and auto and nothing work ...
And as the SPARK doesn't have a CV/Gate Out i can't use the Gate In of the Microbrute.
Hope someone from Arturia will help me.
Also, i don't want to use a DAW. I want to run only Arturia standalone SPARK 2 with the SPARK CDM and the Microbrute so i can get rid of DAW which is a pain in the ass for me ...

Did you manage to make it work as you want ?

Solution :
SPARK go to Audio MIDI settings :
*Midi Output : MicroBrute
*Midi clock sync : Master

MicroBrute Software :
Play Mode : Hold or Note on
Sync : Auto

well, i ask the SAV and they say it's impossible to sync on Play Mode Note On...
So yes, i manage to sync with play mode Hold but it could be really cool to have a new feature for the next update so we can sync on Note On.
Thanks for your help.
