Electribe 2 and Microbrute question

Post by Ft13 »

I just picked up a microbrute and as cool as it is, the keyboard on it feels too plastic.

I’d love to just midi sync it to my Electribe 2, which I’ve done by the midi out on the Electribe to the midi in on the Microbrute, but I can “play” it on the Electribe.

I made sure the Electribe is set to internal for midi.

I essentially wanna program steps to arpeggiate the Microbrute as it will be mainly used for bass lines.

I’d love a bit of help getting this sorted out!

Electribe outputs all 16 pads as the relevant MIDI channel. So if you have a sequence on pad 1, just ensure the microbrute is also set to channel 1 and it will play the same sequence.

You can’t change midi channels on the Microbrute. It is as is.

But I did find that it’s on channel 3.

Now my only issue is that the sequencer in it won’t sync to the BPM of the Electribe.

If only arturia’s forum would allow me access, but it’s broke af.

You need the arturia connection software to change the MidiBrute channel - I had mine being sequenced by a single part/pad of the E2 no problem.

I then changed my mind and decided I wanted to use the MBrute's internal sequencer midi synced. It's currently running from a Circuit no problem.

Dload/Check the Arturia Connection software. I think that's what its called - or used to be.

Wrong. You need the Microbrute Editor application to do this.

Again, this behaviour is set in the Microbrute Editor application.

All you need to do is RTFM!

It took me a hot minute, but I finally found the midi manager software. Now everything is fine.

Now off to fix a staticy volume pot/knob on my podxt!
