Title: ADSR LED flashes even when all sliders are turned down
Post by: erwinsoundsystem on December 21, 2020, 02:04:04 am
Dear all,
I have a new Minibrute 2. I'm not sure if this only occurred after I installed the new firmware tonight: Whenever I hit a key, the ADSR LED lights up briefly, even when all the sliders of the ADSR are turned all the way down. If I then turn the cutoff knob counterclockwise, I hear a slight crack when I hit the key. Only on a positon turning the knob clockwise at about 11 o'clock the crackling is drowned out by the sound. Is this normal?

Thank you and best regards
Erwin

P.S.: I would be really happy if someone could just check on your own device and tell me if the behavior of my Minibrute is normal: Does the ADSR LED flash if you play a note, even if all the ADSR sliders are completeley turned down? I would be very grateful for this.

All the best
Erwin

Both my ADSR and AD flash dimly when sliders full down.

The crackling could be any number of things.
Use the init patch described here:

Make sure to put the AD Envelope Decay up somewhat.
If it still crackles, could be something wrong with your unit.

Thank you so much for your reply psienide! I will try to dive a deeper into the physics of the device.
