Problems with Polybrute 12

Brute PolyBrute
#1

Hello everyone !!!

I’ve been a happy owner of Polybrute 12 for about a month now. The synth is amazing but I have two problems with it.

Problem no. 1 - after entering Sleep mode, the synthesizer behaves randomly: the mode change diodes always flash, but the screen is sometimes on and sometimes off. A bigger problem is that after waking up from playing on the keyboard, the screen doesn’t always turn on. In such a situation, only pressing a button or turning a potentiometer helps. This happens quite often.

Problem no. 2 - sometimes, after switching to the arpeggiator or sequencer preset, the sound is triggered immediately without touching the keyboard. After repeating the operation, the synthesizer behaves normally, i.e. it waits for sounds to be played on the keyboard.

Does anyone else have this problem with PB12 ? Is this normal behavior ?

Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

Referring to your problem no 1: I have exactly the same behavior.

I have not noticed your second problem, but maybe just because I use the seq or the arp not very often.

Best regards,
Stephan

Yeah Number 2 has been happening to me and is very annoying. I hit the Arp button and it immediately starts playing a pattern.
