Tubbutec Brainstep Controller

Brainstep Controller is an expander for our Brainstep module. While it is possible to change Brainstep’s envelope and LFO parameters using the menu, Brainstep Controller creates a more direct, hands on approach.

The 25 sliders let you control most accent, ADSR and LFO parameters. Additionaly, the glide time can be controlled.

Brainstep Controller is a specialized MIDI controller using TRS-A input and output jacks. A stereo jack cable needs to be used to connect the controller’s output to the Brainstep’s TRS MIDI input.

MIDI data coming into the controller’s TRS input is merged with the controller data and sent to Brainstep. This way, no MIDI input is lost when using the controller.

Brainstep Controller has a layered architecture that allows the control of all four of Brainstep’s tracks. With the four buttons on the right labelled TR-1..4, you can select which track to control. Multiple selections are possible, which means you could change the envelope attack of track 3 and 4 simultaneously.
