Ableton Live has always been a pain for automating external gear especially outside of the midi clips in the arrangement section. Though there's not much to control via midi for the Minibrute. I made a quick max4live midi plugin to control pitch bend, mod wheel, and after touch. I even added a nice panic button in case there's ever a stuck note as sometimes is the case with hardware. Have fun automating.

*edit 2 - This plugin has morphed into my Keyboard Control. It should give access to most of automation and settings missing in Ableton live and/or push for any hardware synth.

(I sold my Minibrute a while ago, waited too long for this firmware sorry. so if this doesn't work 100% feel free to send me a minibrute to test it out). Good luck.
