3 QUICKSTART
This chapter provides the basics you’ll need to create your very first sounds with the
MiniBrute, so you can start enjoying its rich, full sounds immediately. In subsequent
chapters, we’ll get deeper into the sound design process so you can create more
animated and complex sounds.
3.1 Create your first sound: the “basic patch”
Once your MiniBrute has been correctly connected to your sound system, set all
the controls to their minimum level:
counter-clockwise for the knobs
lowest position for sliders
centered position (12 o'clock) for controls with – and +, as well as Fine Tune.
Set the rear panel Gate Source switch to the KBD position (see chapter 4.3.4).
Set the FILTER section’s Mode switch to LP, and the ENV Speed switch to Fast.
Set the CONTROL section’s Aftertouch switch to Off, and MOD Wheel to Vibrato.
Set the VIBRATO switch to the position.
Set the LFO section’s Clock switch to the Free position.
Set the Sequencer section’s Play/Off/Record switch to Off.
Switch on your MiniBrute, let it warm up, and set the Master Volume knob to
center.
Set the MIX section’s square wave slider to maximum.
Turn the FILTER section’s Cutoff knob fully clockwise.
