do you really want to compare any possibilities of each synths? i guess you did it before buying, nope?

You would do me a favor if you could answer to my previous post of this thread instead of ignoring it, i really would like to know what alternatively means in english. thanx (seriously)

joe,

As for you fobbing me off, telling me to contact sales. Why don't you do it? You seem to be forgetting that I just spent about $550 on a synth that doesn't do one of things I bought it for. Pardon me If you think I'm giving YOU are hard time.

It will be my last post on this topic.
I won't contact sales, because each one as his own job, my is to design hardware, and reply to technical issues on this forum.
You obviously have a sales issue, so contact sales, that's it. If I start spending my days handling sales issue, don't expect to get firmware update, or any new products before a few of years...
regards

I can give you another way to use the Minibrute as a master keyboard without local on/off : Instead of turning down the main volume, unplug the cable that goes from your Brute to your Soundcard/mixer/whatever, and plug it straight into your ass. Now the minibrute is a perfect master keyboard, just as you wanted it.

But wouldn't that sound sh*t?


OK, Bruno, this is my last post too on this matter.

I guess I will just have to wait for more people to recieve their MInibrutes and try to use them with their DAW before the 'designers' add a midi local on/off mode.

Please note, that all through my posts I have never said anything negative about the sound of the Minibrute or infact anything but positive comments on Arturia taking this brave step into analog.

I have contacted the sales dept at Arturia and we will see what happens, but as I also said, I don't want to have to return it.The Minibrute really does have a unique sonic character.

To me, this seems like a whole lot of fuss over an extremely trivial issue.  Is your MiniBrute's volume knob broken?  What's wrong with turning the volume knob down while using it as a controller?

Because while you use it as a master keyboard to control a vsti for example, you won't be able to hear your minibrute if it is sequenced by the daw, as the volume will be down. Note that this is only a problem if you want to play live on the minibrute keyboard while the daw is running a song. if it's just to enter notes, pitch bend or Wheel modulation, it's not a problem at all.
I'm confident arturia will implement it some days, and right now it really does NOT  need all the negative and unjustified  sentences of this thread.
