5.2. VCO 1
The VCO 1 section has eight controls that form the foundation of the MiniBrute 2S sound.
♪
: Many top panel knobs have blue letters beneath them. This means there are pre-wired connections
between those knobs and the blue-lettered item. For example, (VCO 2) is written beneath the FM knob.
That means the second voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO 2) is the default source for the modulation
that happens when the FM knob is turned clockwise. Similarly, LFO 2 is the default modulation source
for Ultrasaw Amt. Keep this in mind as you look around the top panel for other pre-wired connections.
5.2.1. Fine Tune
This knob allows you to make precise adjustments to the pitch of VCO 1. Its range is slightly
greater than one octave in either direction. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to lower the
pitch, and rotate the knob clockwise to raise the pitch.
♪
: Changing the Fine Tune knob of VCO 1 does not affect the pitch of VCO 2.
5.2.2. Glide
Glide is also known as Portamento. The Glide knob determines the amount of time it takes
for the pitch to glide from one note to another when notes are played. With this knob fully
counter-clockwise, there is no glide and the note pitch transitions instantly to the next note.
Turning this knob clockwise increases the portamento effect. At the maximum setting it will
take 3 seconds to glide from the first note to the second note, regardless of the distance
between them.
♪
: By default the pitch of VCO 2 will track the pitch of VCO 1 when the Glide value is increased. The
main exception to this rule is when a patch cord is inserted into the
jack in the VCO
2 section of the
