7.2.5. Metal In
The Metal In patch point allows an incoming source to be wave-folded the same way the
VCO 1 triangle wave would be. Inserting a patch cable here bypasses the pre-wired VCO 1
triangle waveform.
To hear the Metalizer effect on the source it is necessary to have the Metalizer knob or the
Metal Mod knob set to a non-zero value. The Triangle wave slider in the OSC MIXER section
must also be set high enough.
Remember: the Metalizer and Metal Mod knobs affect one another: a combination of the
Metal Mod source and the setting of the Metal Mod knob interact to alter the level of the
Metalizer effect.
The Metal In jack is AC-coupled, which is a technical term that means that slow LFOs or envelopes
are not likely to be wavefolded properly by the Metal In circuitry. We recommend the use of audio
signals such as oscillators as an input for this jack.
7.2.6. Metal Mod
The default source of the Metal Mod parameter is the velocity of a note played on the
MiniBrute 2S pads. But a different source may be used by connecting its output to this patch
point.
For example, try connecting a patch cable from the Out 1 of the LFO 1&2 section of the
patch bay to the Metal Mod input. The depth of the LFO 1 modulation of the Metalizer can be
adjusted with the Metal Mod knob, while the LFO 1 rate and waveform can be used to shape
that modulation in different ways.
Remember: the Metalizer knob sets the initial amount of the Metalizer effect, and the Metal
Mod knob determines how much modulation of that amount will occur.
