[Bug?]Polybrute 12 only records and plays back *some* MIDI data from my DAW

You need to disable each instance of PolyBrute Connect and then the PolyBrute will respond to MIDI CCs like any other synth.

Take a look here… Position #5

Unfortunately, this doesn’t actually work for me. Whether Polybrute Connect is enabled or not, played through or not, or even not loaded at all anywhere, the Polybrute does not respond to the CCs for the recorded ribbon or morphee output. It is easy enough to record them (as many people have noted), but I’ve found no combination where it will respond to those CCs. Note that it does respond to other CCs (like manually twiddling the master cutoff knob), just not the ribbon or morphee control.

Hi @Larsaf , sadly, my experience is similar to @JovianPath. Disconnecting Polybrute Connect does help a little, in that it allows the correct playback of more “generic” midi data, such as pitchbend and aftertouch. However, it doesn’t allow the DAW (Logic, in my case) to actually record and playback many of Polybrute’s key expression interfaces - ribbon, Morphee, or most of the synth’s knobs and sliders.

Just to check - has everyone who is experiencing this problem reported the issue to Arturia? For a synth that sells itself on its expression options, it’s somewhat jaw-dropping that this data appears to not be MIDI recordable for most (or all?) users.

Hi @Vischebaste,

you are right… there is an issue.

I’m a Cubase 14 user and I did some testing today. Cubase records ALL MIDI CCs including Ribbon, Morphee, Expression Ctrl 1 & 2 (Foot) and Master Cutoff. But when playing back my Polybrute 12 does NOT react to Ribbon and Morphee. All other (incl. Master Cutoff) seem to work fine.

Arturia has to take a look at this issue.
