Heya all. Long story short my minifreak is bricked, like many others. But mine doesn’t have its guarantee, and support is unresponsive, so I opened it up and found out you can force it into DFU mode. Yipee. But now what ? minifreak V doesn’t see it in this state (different vendor ID since not the arturia bootloader) and dfu util only sees the two main processors, but the firmware actually flashes 5 other UI elements.

All that to say, if anyone has the script they give to users to bypass the minifreak V, I’d be happy to get it from you, as it may hold the key to this.

I'm loving the Minifreak in Ableton, but I also use Vital and a couple of Ableton's stock synths quite a bit and I'd like to be able to use the Minifreak as a midi keyboard for them. Is there a way to do this? I'm pretty new to Ableton, so am I missing something simple? I've been looking around on Reddit and YouTube, but no one is describing how to set up the exact workflow I'm looking for.
