arturia minibrute modding

Saturday morning power tool moment.....(installation in the side turned out to be a lot simpler than in the back, esp when you factor in my laziness)

Any idea if it would somehow be possible to route the External Audio Input from the MB back out to modular?
That would be huge

I'm sure that would be really simple, I don't personally need that but I'll find the patch point for you next time I do some testing.

What would be the use case of that mod? Why not just split it before it comes into the minibrute?

Lots of progress today, just about to test it further but it looks like it's working. i have:

sine lfo
tri lfo
saw lfo
square lfo
rand steps lfo
smooth steps lfo
sub osc
saw osc
square osc
tri osc
amplitude env
filter env
clock out
clock in!

I have one more send but can't decide if i should go for mod wheel, aftertouch or the folded triangle looking osc wave I found inside.

My minibrute just got MegaBrutish!

Documentation + video coming soon if you want it.

this was going to be a logical step

trademark it and get a freeby if arturia gets to launch it somewhere next year

Here is the initial documentation. Please let me know if I've made any terrible errors or omissions.

Warm up your irons and have fun!

Nice work, leafcutter!

Very cool leafcutter.

I hope someone does this for the microbrute in the future.

Wow. Nice work. Now I wish I still had my Minibrute.

Great work John!
You got me jealous, but I still haven't had free time for looking into my one.

Noticed one oddity in the PDF (only brief scan)::
What is?? USE SRANDED WIRE,?! Hehe.
Will have more of a read latter.

You don't have any SRANDED wire? I hear all the make noise modules use it!

Thanks for that Tom, hope to see you soon.

EDIT: and I should credit you for the tap tempo idea.

Excellent

I can see mine getting a little breakout box all it's own

so it's 'semi official' that velocity can not be had from the arturia pcb's? so you'd need a midi->cv box for that?

+1
I have a Microbrute but not a Minibrute so I really hope so. I suspect there's a good chance many of the equivalent voltages should be possible to extract from the Microbrute's PCB.

Good job.
But why they haven't built a expandeur for eurorack... Rahh

felixer · Post by **felixer** » Fri Jan 31, 2014 11:17 am

because they forgot to have a multipin on the back of the arturia?

they should hire leafcutter ... you just wait, we'll have a megabrute, one way or another
