Common Arturia MiniBrute 2 Questions
How do I sync the MiniBrute 2's sequencer to an external MIDI clock source like a DAW?
Go to the Utility Mode by holding SHIFT and pressing the top left key on the keyboard (labeled 'UTILITY'). Then use the octave buttons to select 'EXT CLK' and press ENTER to toggle between internal and external clock. With EXT CLK enabled, the MiniBrute 2 will sync to MIDI clock received on its MIDI input or USB.
Can I save and load patterns on the MiniBrute 2, and if so, how?
The MiniBrute 2 does not have traditional preset or pattern saving capabilities. You must record patterns in real-time into an external MIDI sequencer or DAW for later recall.
What is the purpose of the Steiner-Parker filter on the MiniBrute 2 and how does it differ from other filter types?
The Steiner-Parker filter offers distinct character with its multimode functionality (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch) and its aggressive resonance behavior, allowing for everything from subtle warmth to squelchy, self-oscillating tones unique to this design.
My MiniBrute 2 isn't making any sound. What are some basic troubleshooting steps?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up, the oscillator levels are audible, and the filter cutoff is open enough to allow sound to pass. Also check that the VCA mode switch on the back is set to ADSR or HOLD and not BYPASS, and that a gate signal is present from the sequencer or an external source to trigger the VCA.
How can I use the MiniBrute 2's patchbay to modulate parameters with the sequencer?
Patch sequencer outputs (like 'SEQ GATE', 'SEQ PITCH', 'SEQ VEL') to modulation inputs on the MiniBrute 2's patchbay, such as the filter cutoff ('FILTER CV'), oscillator pitch ('OSC1/2 CV'), or VCA level ('VCA CV') to create complex and rhythmic variations.
