@Bruno

A large number of Minibrute owners,  Arturia customers, you know the people who buy the products that pay your salary? Well they requested local off and I see you have finally included it (almost 2 years after the initial requests and I suspect only because of the new Minibrute SE). Well done, except for one problem... you have not provided information on how to implement it.

Do you guys purposely try to annoy your customers or is it just incompetence?


Arturia - the guys who will...

cook you a beautiful meal - but don't give you a fork
lend you a Ferrari - without the keys
build you a modular - but provide no patch cables

Do you guys purposely try to annoy your customers or is it just incompetence?

Or maybe it's just an oversight after a week of work?

By the way, it took me 1 minute to find out! Maybe there is another way but i use MIDI CC number 122 messages: with a value of 127 local is ON, with a value of 0 local is OFF. Just test it in logic pro, working great. At your own risk if it's not the "official" way to do it.

Thanx Bruno

[Bruno@arturia]

you have not provided information on how to implement it.

It's implemented as described in the MIDI specification(MIDI CC number 122), we usually don't provide implementation details on what is standard.

Hi Bruno,

could you please tell me the "Standard CCs" for LFO re-triggering and Arpeggiator mode?

Thanks!

Chris

Great, finally local off
but do I get it right, local off function just works with se and not with the old black one?
I can't just try myself, because I sold my minibrute (shame on me) now thinking of buying a black one again if its got local off.
Thanks

local OFF is working with the black one too. you have to send CC message 122 to turn OFF and ON LOCAL

[zedius]

Sorry to be somewhat off topic, but by 'black one' do you guys mean 'blue one'? Because my minibrute is blue.

The original promo shots were of a dark grey unit:



My minibrute and the one I've seen in stores is this blue unit:

[beefinator]

interesting, I wouldn't call that one blue at all.   

But yep, that's what he's talking about.

Great! I guess we don't have to wait for a local off button to be implemented in Brute Connection another 2 years... Bruno, please spend 2-3h more and spare us a lesson about "standard CC numbers for local off" please....

I just installed the new firmware and I'm having an issue with the LFO.  In free mode, the LFO doesn't oscillate within the range from 12 o'clock to the slowest setting.  sweeping it from fastest to slowest, it does indeed oscillate, but as soon as the pot goes past 12 o'clock, it turns off.  In Arp mode, it turns off at 3 o'clock.  Turning the brute off and on resolves the issue, but as soon as I begin midi sequencing it from the DAW, it reverts back to disabling the LFO.  Please help!  I like the new sub octave feature (the -2 and -1 lights both turning on is super cool), but I don't mind going back to the old firmware if need-be

EDIT:  re-installed the firmware, and I think everything is all good!!  Will contact support if the issue reappers

Thanks for this release Bruno et al. I'm curious though as though as to why no email was sent to registered users about the update nor was it included in the Arturia newsletter. This firmware update is quite significant, I would think Arturia would want to spread the word for those Minibrute users who opt not to participate in the forum. Just my .02.

Cheers.

it available on page 11 of MiniBrute Connection User manual:
ftp://downloads.arturia.com/downloads/minibrute/manual/MINIBRUTE_CONNECTION_Manual_EN.pdf

for any midi capable device, you have to send CC 122, with value 0 for Local ON, and 127 be set the minibrute as local OFF
