My Minibrute does not respond to velocity when playing the keyboard or when sending midi from my DAW. The keybed was replaced a while ago as several keys where lifting up, could this have affected it? Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks
-
It never responded to velocity. no minibrute ever has responded to velocity.
-
Right, i couldn't remember as i didn't have it long before the keybed issue. Why does it say that the keyboard is velocity sensitive in the minibrute specs? That was what confused me.
-
Because the keybed is velocity sensitive, and will send said information to your DAW or other units, but the internal synth engine making the sound doesn't respond to velocity information.
-
And the keybed actually feels pretty nice to me, so it's good for controlling external gear.

The manual (top of page 34) refers to ENV 1 amplitude being controlled by velocity & the schematic (from the hack a brute site) does show a CV input from velocity ( the envelope section ENV 1) U21A seems to be the amplitude control point w/ velocity being the control input, but the connection software manual refers to the fact that no parameters in the Mini are controlled by velocity & I have not heard/seen any difference in the filters response to velocity. The schematic shows an asterisk next to the refs to velocity, but I have not found a note on the page. I'm going to have to open the Mini and see whats going on.
Ok, from the Electro-Music Site:

Seems to be partially implemented but not done.

Huh, didn't know that.
I'll have to do some experimenting sometime.
