Original post is below, and I have discovered a misunderstanding on my part, pertaining to the issue which manifests itself in the Doepfer it now seems, so if anyone has a Dark Energy and they'd like to try this I'd appreciate the feedback. It seems that the gate out is re-triggered, even though there is a held note. I confirmed this by hooking up a monotribe which actually retrigger every time the brute does, whereas the Doepfer is not retriggering 90% of the time, so it's not an occasional glitch it's predominantly not working, ie most of the time it is not retriggering, this is disappointing as it's unlikely to be resolved, being a deleted product
Anyway, anyone with a DE mark 1 revision pcb 2 care to test for completeness
Ignore the flawed assumption about retriggering below, the gate seems to be momentarily dropped and reopened every time a retrigger occurs, irrespective of held note!

'Bugs' in CV , whaaa.. Well, let's say glitches or I may have a duff board
I'd like to find out ASAP
Simple CV test
Env legato mode must be off
It is easiest to test with last note mode, but all modes are buggy
All other settings in Microbrute do not matter, however, for simplicity, especially if you are auditioning the Micro, please set a simple saw patch up with a half closed lowpass filter and use a snappy envelope with about 15% decay! all others at zero, so you can hear the re triggering of the envelope
Now
Patch a gate out to a gate in of another cv synth
Patch pitch out if you want too, but this is a gate related bug
I tried with a Dark Energy 1, set a similar sound up, snappy and simple
When you play a sequencer everything should sound okay
Switch seq off
Now play non legato, everything is okay
Hold a note, any note and play any others changing notes and rhythm, but hold the first note
The gate should always be ON, always, as you have not released, however I get random intermittent and inconsistent re triggering of the gate maybe 10% of the time
In terms of re triggering gate, It should behave just like it does if Env legato mode is on, but it does not, make sure you switch Env legato mode to off to test this
I can test the Dark Energy with an Analog Four and it works fine when using the Elektron, this makes me happy that there is no issue with my DE, the envelope should not retrigger randomly
Whilst this manifests in CV mode I believe it must be a software bug
Can anyone test and confirm
Please : - )
Then I will send in a ticket, if this is a broken brute or is not fixable I am still within returns period
