Sonic LAB - Hex Inverter Mutant Brain MIDI Converter Eurorack Module 

Good review. Absolutely agree about wishing for more CV outs. However, one thing worth noting is that the gate/trigger outs can also be clock outs and resets, which I’ve found to be quite useful. You can also divide those clock outs with the software, which could save some space you’d use for a clock divider.

The demo @1:00 is beautiful. I would love to hear more of Edd's music outside the context of a review.

The CV OCD could do with the LEDs that the Mutant Brain has. Makes it easy to see what is going on!

Fully agree with your conclusion. While the gate : CV ratio is not ideal for many use cases, it is useful for sequencing a percussion pattern + a melodic pattern or two simultaneously. But most importantly, its price point is extremely attractive and makes it well worth its inherent compromises. Personally I prefer the Vermona qMI2 for its simplicity and increased CV outputs, but it's a lot more expensive and actually can't do a lot of the things this can. I also use the FH-2, which I believe can do everything this can and more, BUT only has half the outputs for almost double the price, or you can get the expander which makes it a strict superset of this but like triple the price.

Could u explain how u set up the patch on the digitakt?

MORE CC.....I woulda got this. oh well. looking for something else. too many gates. not needed [the size is right tho :( ]

I've been thinking about something like this. I use a Toraiz Sampler workstation to send MIDI out to my Pittsburgh SV-1 in my case which converts to CV and gate. There's 1 cc out and velocity out. In the Toraiz i can easily customize that Cc and save the settings per scene (16 scenes per save file) So it's extremely easy to control filter sweeps, pitch bends using the touchstrip, or assign a synced LFO to modulate that cc amount. The problem is the SV-1 has only one cc out while there is potential to store multiple custom cc parameters on the workstation. But Pittsburgh did an excellent job with the space they had (Digital LFO with 2 outs, arp, etc.) and i know they have another Lifeforms MIDI module on the market but i haven't looked into it. Fun stuff!

Very informative, gives me a concrete idea of what this thingy can and cannot. So, thumbs up! 👍👍👍

Love that quad VCO ❤️

Nice sound! Please, sorry for my modular inexperience: does the Mutant Brain MIDI to CV receive clock impulse from D.A.W. software (like Ableton, Logic, ecc.) via sound card or analog mixer? Thanks in advance.

Great breakdown! Thank you. I set it up the way you described, but for gates 5-12 I'm only getting a trigger to gate 5 is there something that I need to change on the digitakt? Also not getting a clock signal.. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Every time I see one of these web configuration things I wonder how long the domain will be up and how long it will work, I'm sure the hardware will still be around in 10-20 years, but will this website still be working? I wish all sites like this would have a zip file at the bottom of the code that you can just bung in apache and host locally for redundancy

Folks of @sonicstate, I'm wondering a couple of things: From Digitakt to MB, can you make the Clock out stop when the Digitakt sequencer stops? Also, how do I program gate channels beyond the first 4 to output patterns from the sequencer? The first 4 work fine but what about MIDI E through H, these do not seem to respond?

Hello,i cant use all the trigger output with m’y digitakt ?Its the factory midi patch.when i use the trigger number 5 on channel 10 with the séquenceur number 5 of the digitakt the trigger output play the good sequence.but when i want to use the trigger output number 6,with the sequenceur number 6 from the digitakt on the Channel 10,the trigger output 6 play nothing ?and the séquence from the sequencr 6,it’s platine on the trigger output number 5!!!?cn you help me please ?

Does anyone know why when i sequence via cubase, even with a 1/64th note midi send sometimes it triggers multiple times. is my config forked?

I want to buy one, but have few questions. Does it have velocity and aftertouch output? Can I use simple midi to usb adapter with this module to connect it to computers usb (if I dont have midi cable)?

Having to program with a sysex file makes me happy I have MI Yarns.

Can it do a latching gate? Triggered say from a foot-controller? Thanks

whats the program you are using on clouds in the beginning?

Came for the Mutant Brain, stayed for the A-111-4

Did I miss Gaz doing his Keytar review? When's the Teenage Engineering OPZ review dropping?

4:15 Oh, man!

Works it with Ableton CV Tools ?

Interesting. But I’m thinking of an ES-8 to get MIDI & audio in & out of computer / modular. Wondering how this compares. Obviously no inputs. But is there more to consider?

Does it work with the novation circuit too?

Hi, does it work with Elektron Rytm?

Why can't you guys only focus on the theme/title of the video...? - It's confusing when you connect 10k equipment that is not directly connected to MB, so that no one can really follow what is going on! From the whole video there are only max. 5 minutes who explain the programming and using of the Mutant Brain...! Sorry, but it's much more impressive to read 2 pages of the (only downloadable) guide from Hexinverter than to understand how one's gonna start using the MB the first time

Anyone used a Mutant Brain with MIDI from Propellerhead Reason?

good to see some modular stuff on sonicstate. The podcast spends way too much time on keytars and plugins. I’ve kind of stopped listening.
