Orphan app for an Orphan synth

I just bought a brand new Arturia Micro Brute synth and found out that Arturia isn’t really supporting this model anymore. The Arturia Micro Brute Connection software for Mac won’t run on the newer versions of the OS. They want you to use the generic MIDI Connection software instead. Well there are features missing in the GUI of that software, most notably the sequencer latching.

You could dig around and find out the CC number for this function and send it over OR you could buy this app and be done with it easy-peasy. I was worried that the app wouldn’t work on the latest iPad iOS because it hasn’t been updated by the developers in 3 years, but it worked like a champ on my iPad Pro running 13.5.1 iOS. Now I don’t have to haul the synth to the computer every time I want to make a change. It’s super convenient and works without a hitch. I highly recommend this app. Please don’t abandon it.

Love it, works great

You’ll need to update the MicroBrute’s firmware to 1.0.4.* for step length (at least) to work, but that’s Arturia’s fault. I can’t find a way to save/restore sequences with the app, not that the MB’s sequencer is all that great anyway.

Insta-crash - appears abandoned

UPDATE (9/12/16) - Developer updated to v. 1.1 shortly after my review - works great now! My arppegiator wasn't even working on my Brute - now I have a mobile solution to set it up like I want it. Upgraded to 5 stars. Thanks for the update!!!

I bought this app as soon as I got my MicroBrute. There were reviews suggesting it worked at one time. However, it crashed instantly when I tried to use it, and it looks like I am not the only one. I also note that it was never updated past version 1.0. Developers should really remove these apps from the App Store if they have no interest in keeping them working.

Worked once, now crashes when opened

It is a great idea. I would love it if it did what it claims to do but it crashes immediately after opening.

THANK YOU ARTURIA !

Now this is something that once again shows how well thought out the the BRUTE synth line is and why there still the "king" of mini synths or analog voices there are. What a simple and powerful addition to my live rig! WOW! Computers are too bulky we all know that.this is the future of electronic music.peace christo
