2. POLYBRUTE BASICS
2.1. User interface
Here are some general notes about working with PolyBrute. For example:
• Press [Settings] to access the Preset/Global option menus.
• The display lists options by numbers that correspond to the eight buttons under
the display.
• The numbered buttons (i.e., Assign buttons) usually select menu items, though in
Mods mode they do more.
• When inside a menu, use [Settings] to return to the previous menu or page.
• An orange dot by a control means "shortcut": Hold [Settings] and activate the
control to access its menu.
• The menu for a button with an orange "shortcut" dot can be accessed with a long
press of that button.
• Lit LEDs indicate a selection, status, or routing.
• Flashing LEDs show a rate or a trigger event, with only one exception (the Split
LED, described later).
• The 96 Matrix buttons select Presets, indicate and select Mod routes, or show the
current sequencer step, depending on the active mode.
You know the rest (knobs, sliders, buttons, etc.). Hopefully this manual will explain anything
that doesn't explain itself.
2.2. Master controls
The settings of these controls are stored with the preset:
•
Stereo spread:
Adjusts the stereo width of the output signal. This can be
modulated via the Mod Matrix.
•
FX:
Handles the routing of the Effects section. Follow
to learn more.
The following controls are
not stored with the preset:
•
Master Volume:
The synthesizer itself will not distort with the level all the way up;
the control is only to avoid overloading the next step in the chain (mixer, audio
interface, amp...).
•
Phones:
The headphone level is independent of the Master Volume.
•
Fine Tune:
- Global tuning ± 1 semitone from the knob's center detent.
