Hi guys! Recently bought mine with the ambition to get some analogue and fat sounds at the same time as a basic understanding of modular. Since I’m into rhythmic sounds mostly I would love to hear if you have anything to share on how you are using minibrute for techno. (And if you have any tips ofc! 🤩)

Cheers!

Hi! I need suggestions. I have a Minibrute 2s with the Rackbrute 3U and I am going to buy eurorack modules for that. I will use this setup mostly with a Keystep, and mainly trying to create nasty/aggressive lead sounds. Which modules/kind of modules would you suggest me? Thank you for your opinion!

Here's my setup: I'm currently using a Keystep connected to a XOR Electronic Nerdseq tracker/sequencer via MIDI to send pitch and gate CV to the various VCOs I have installed in my Rackbrute 6u. I have 8 tracks on the Nerdseq setup to listen to incoming data on MIDI channels 1-8. With this setup I can easily send pitch/gate to the Basimulus Iteritas Alter on track 1 by setting the Keystep MIDI out to ch 1; I play the Keystep and hit record on the Nerdseq to record that data. I then switch MIDI out channel on the Keystep to MIDI ch 2 and immediately start sending pitch/gate cv to the Manis Iteritas and record that to Nerdseq track 2. Rinse and repeat for all 8 of the tracks on my Nerdseq. The workflow is very intuitive and fun, great for both studio work as well as live performances but the Keystep's sequencer is a little lacking and I wouldn't mind replacing it with something like the Minibrute 2s, especially since it's designed to physically connect to the Rackbrute.

My question is this:

Can I easily change the MIDI out channel on the Minibrute 2s in real time via key presses or even menu diving so that I can keep the same workflow and send sequencer data or keypresses on the MB2 over MIDI to the Nerdseq tracks 1-8 ?

I've read the MB2s manual and have only found reference to changing the MIDI out channel in the desktop software setup section, nothing that shows how to change the MIDI out channel from the MB2s itself. I can't imagine a device like the MB2s (which has such feature rich sequencer) lacking the ability to change midi channels on the fly without the use of external PC and software but it's completely possible considering it's focus is on connecting to external eurorack devices.

A patch sounding a bit like a bird.

I was playing with the filter's resonance when I came with the idea of modulating it with the two LFO's, mixed through the VCA.

I then added VCA modulation via the modulation wheel to be able to gently push it. Playing with the brute factor also modulates the sound in an interesting way.

How would I go about connecting my Minubrute 2 to my computer to record on it? What software/components would you recommend?

Thanks!

I am pretty noob at analog/modular stuff - and the best way I’ve found learning is seeing what sounds more experienced people have come and how they got there - so - how about you guys? What are some favorites y’all have come up with and how’d ya get there?

Hi all,

I just discovered this sub and was hoping you could help me with an issue I am facing. I had bought a second hand minibrute about two years ago which was working fine all the time. Then recently I wanted to use it again after a few months of not being used and I noticed there was no sound coming from the synth. Only when I turn the volume all the way up I can hear it silently. This issue happens on the main volume as well as the headphones out. I am assuming this is a amplifier issue, but I am no hardware or synth expert at all.

Is this a common issue? Are there any things I can try, or is this just a hardware issue?

Thanks
