I just bought the Minifuse 4 and I’m having a bit of a brainfart.
I have 2 KRK monitors and 1 KRK 10.4 sub. I’d like to connect the sub to outputs 3 and 4 so I can control its volume independently depending on what I’m doing. However, the issue arises when I use my headphones (e.g., during mastering). The main dial on the Minifuse only controls outputs 1 and 2, so the sub on outputs 3 and 4 remains active, even when I lower the main dial to zero. To mute the sub, I have to manually open the Minifuse interface and mute outputs 3 and 4.
Alternatively, if I connect both the monitors and sub to outputs 1 and 2, I can control everything with the main dial. But in this case, I’d need to manually adjust the sub’s volume or use its footswitch to disable it completely.
Is there something I’m missing here? What’s the best way to set this up?
I wrote to them about a similar issue. Have two Yamaha HS7 with TRS cables connected to ports 1 and 2 (on the back) and want to add two KRK Rokit 5 to ports 3 and 4.
Same issue: I can control the Yamaha with the main volume knob but where do I control the KRK from ?
Was thinking on buying an adapter (from two TRS cables to one jack 6.5) or maybe a dual cable that has TRS cables for both ports on one side and a jack on the other so I can insert it in one of the headset inputs.
Also, is there a way to control them via software ?
Yes you can control 3 and 4 via software using mini fuse app but not all at once, I hope one day they will add the capability to lock the sliders together.
In my case I gave up and ended up connecting all to 1 and 2.
Minifuse 1 and 2 to Rokit 10.4 sub using TRX and from the SUB output to the Rokit 5 (trx)
Right now i manually lower o higher the sub volume based on what I am playing using the knob on the sub…
I am really happy with the minifuse quality, I just ordered a minifuse 2 to be used with my laptop
I guess they didnt’ reply?
No they didn’t. I have a Minifuse 2 and a Minifuse 4… wonder if you could daisy chain them together and control one set of speakers from The Minifuse 4 and the other from the Minifuse 2.Wishful thinking at this point I guess
I’m gonna stay on this topic for a few weeks and come up with an answer, there is no manual volume control for me, the speakers are behind the monitor so there is no way of practical way of controlling them while editing (I use them for video production).
This is the response:
You can use 4 Balanced TRS Cables: You'll need two cables for each pair of speakers.
So, with the help of the MiniFuse Control Center (MFCC), you'll be able to create two distinct Mixes for both Outputs 1 & 2 and Outputs 3 & 4 as showed below:
https://downloads.arturia.net/products/mfcc/soft/MiniFuse_Control_Center_1_1_0_400.exe
All the individual levels, will have to be adjusted and defined directly from the MiniFuse Control Center exclusively.
Only the two headphones outputs will have direct and distinct level knobs on the unit itself.
Regarding the Master Volumes on MFCC side, these are separate Master Volumes for each of your "Outputs 1 & 2" and "Outputs 3 & 4" mixes.
The Monitor volume knob on the unit will exclusively control the “Outputs 1&2” levels and isn’t affecting the Mixes Master Volumes on MFCC side.
To define which precise sources ( Inputs 1 & 2 / 3 & 4 or USB sources) you'd like to output either through the Speakers or Headphones outputs, you'll have to :
- Go to the “Outputs” section
- Add the desired sources to your “Outputs” (E.G 3 & 4) Mix by clicking on “Outputs 3 & 4” and then on the “+” icon on the right to add a source:
As a side note regarding Headphones outputs:
- Headphones 1 output will follow the Outputs 1 & 2 Mix.
- Headphones 2 output will follow the Outputs 3 & 4 Mix.
Of course, let us know how it goes !
