Control MicroBrute using CV/Gate from another Synth

[ReinerHelbig]

Hi,

I'd like to control the MicroBrute using CV/Gate from another Synth, e.g. Korg Mono/Poly (with correct trigger setting) or Doepfer A190-2 (MIDI to CV/Gate Interface).

I connected the CV Out to MicroBrute's Pitch In on the Mod Matrix and Gate Out to MicroBrute's Gate In on the rear. Unfortunately the MicroBrute's envelope is not triggered, although I have +10V Gate coming in from the Synths.

Nevertheless with the same setting I can advance the MicroBrute's sequencer step by step with the other Synths (Step On Gate enabled in the Connection software) and I can change the pitch of the sequence as well, so signals are recognized by the MicroBrute.

Anybody has any idea why I can't control the MicroBrute from another Synth?

Thanks in advance for you help.

is it because the korg isn't 1v/oct (just guessing not sure)
i can play  the microbrute with a mother 32 and and an old roland sh-09 no problem with kb/cv out -> pitch in, and gate out -> gate in

Hi nashspacerocket,

thanks for your reply, I got it working now. It's related to the sequencer settings in the Connection software and also related to your issue 

If the Step On is set to Gate then the sequencer can be clocked from gate signals but the CV/Gate synth control doesn't work. If the setting is Clk then it's vice versa, i.e. CV/Gate synth control is working but sequencer can't be clocked.

I decided to leave it with Clk to have CV/Gate control, so sequences can be run from one of my SQ-1s.  I'll abuse the MicroBrute's sequencer as "random source" to control e.g. the Filter for having bleeps and blops 

By the way, the Korg Mono/Poly is running on V/Oct, the Trigger can be set to V-Trig or S-Trig. Very flexible for it's age
