Microbrute broke.

I thought I was special.
I thought I was different.

I really liked that little bastard.

Sorry to hear that! I read many quality issues with Microbrute (not as much as with Minibrute tho) and that's why I went with the Monologue.

It's sad because they sound very good!

Did you get one of the early batches?

It's always possible it was carryover from the early days, but I picked it up about a year ago.

It's a problem I've heard of others experiencing:
It still makes a pitch... but just one. All the notes on the keyboard are the same, same with the sequencer.

I hope to salvage it (maybe MIDI still works?), but I will be finding a more reliable mono synth.
Drat.

That blows man. My Minibrute has never had any issues and I got it used.

Is it a good pitch, at least? Maybe you have been set free from the complexity of modern Western music?
