Is Local Off supported on the MiniBrute?

[xjscott]

Nearly all MIDI instruments support a MIDI Local Off mode, where the keyboard transmits MIDI and the synthesis engine receives MIDI, but the internal connection from keyboard to the synthesis hardware is disconnected. This mode is used to facilitate work with sequencers and MIDI processors. I have read the manual and examined the remote editor and can not find any mention of support for this mode.

1. Does the MiniBrute have a Local Off setting? If so, how is it activated?

2. Does the MiniBrute support MIDI CC #122, which is the standard setting for remotely activating this setting?

Thanks!

No it's not supported in the current firmware version.
We planned to wait for more deliveries to end user, so we get more feedback, before doing an update.
Thank you for the inquiry, we will evaluate this feature for the next update.

i'm gonna add a +1 on this feature too :-)

[fanwander]

count me in for local off too!

Same here.  Much needed feature.

[Ed Solo]

Yeah, i definitely need this as i want to record the aftertouch info.

Has this been implemented in the 1.0.2 update.

The responsivness of the Aftertouch is much better on the Minibrute compared to my master keyboard which is why this is usefull to me.

QUICK WORKAROUND -

You can remove the midi cable from the Minibrute "in" whilst recording.

Yes please

Local Off is a much needed feature. So I can transpose the sequences from my Doepfer Dark Time and Mutable Instruments MidiPal from the keyboard, while the sequencers play the MiniBrute and a couple other synths, without triggering notes when pushing keys.

+1 to this.  I have a small bedroom setup, and the minibrute is front and center.  It's badly needs this feature.  Hell, screw any other updates and just add this.  Well...maybe figure out why the LFO still tries to sync to Abletons bpm in free mode (I'm using 1.0.2.)

[flux302]

another +1 on that

[nickjarl]

+1 Come on now Arturia....we needed this yesterday!

[zedius]

+1 on this, but I think it would have to tie into some button combo functionality. I wouldn't want to have to load the software to set local on or off.

Raised this same issue months ago

I have a small setup too and bought the Minibrute to replace my Novation midi keyboard. While I maybe could have been a little more tactful, I got seriously flamed for daring to suggest that Arturia, has at the very least made a synth-101 error buy not including this feature or, at worst, misrepresented the Minibrute's capabilities as a DAW controller.

Jeez, one guy actually suggested I stick the Minibrute's audio out cable up my ass! Lovely, lovely people.

I wouldn't hold your breath guys.


ps, My ass hurts, can I take it out now?

[citric acid]

me too. i need also local off

[jabberwalky]

I will hold my breath, especially since Bruno was one of the first replies in this thead and seems to be considering the feature in the next update.
