Hello,
As in title: if triggered by BSP over MIDI, the Minibrute is quieter. I'd guess somewhere between 3 and 6 dB quieter. Which is weird because the Minibrute doesn't respond to velocity. Tried changing velocity of triggers on BSP (because it will have recorded and is sending the unused velocity from the initially recorded notes on the Minibrute), but this makes no difference.
I'm terrified of the Arturia forums... It seems less like a forum, and more like the complaints department.
Weird, I've got both also and haven't noticed the volume difference. I'll test it out tonight.
The forums are a bit like a venting space for those with problems. I was spoilt in my early days of the 'net by the Waldorf user group email forum which was more like a synthesiser enthusiast forum, with members swapping tips and ideas on everything to do with electronic music production, not just Waldorf products. I miss those days, but things change and this renaissance of hardware has a good amount of people who have never only ever used virtual instruments expecting the same uber functionality they get out of softsynths and DAWs from hardware synths and sequencers. And at the same prices as software. For me, synths have always been expensive and is the reason why I didn't own a car until very recently (I'm 44). If it didn't cost as much as a nice 2nd hand car, I was suspicious the instrument would be hobbled in some way.
Things are getting better here though, with more members wanting discuss things rather than hang poo on Arturia. After being a member of many different forums now, I realise that the Waldorf user group was something very special that doesn't happen often at all, but we can always try to achieve those heights again (the Waldorf web forum now does resemble these forums to an extent, albeit much quieter, a shame but nothing lasts forever).
