Just a simple DIY project to patch up my workflow.
Basically, the Minibrute has a bunch of settings that are primarily accessible via a USB connection software, or MIDI CCs. These include MIDI I/O channels, local off, retriggering LFO/envelope on note, etc.
Pain in the neck to modify without the computer, so I made a little Arduino-powered thing to make that easier. There's a small LED display to show what parameters and values are selected, and some lighted encoder knobs to select things.
So now, at a few turns of the knobs, I can turn enable local off on the MB, effectively disconnecting the keyboard from the internal synth engine, and change what MIDI channel the keyboard sends, so I can control any of the synths in my setup with the same keyboard. Plus I can access those other "hidden" settings.
Plus, there's a MIDI input. So I can program it to whatever the hell I want. I could even make a synth with the same hardware (plus a bit extra stuff for the audio output)
