Minimax
Mixer
The Mixer combines the various signals
before sending them to the filter. Up to five
signals can be included in the mix:
oscillators 1-3, plus noise and an external
signal. For each signal there is a switch to
include or exclude it from the mix, and a
level control. External signals can be
amplified to produce distortion that you can
use for special sonic effects.
Volume
Adjusts the level of the respective signal
in the mix.
Feedback On
With feedback on, the synthesizer’s output
is internally routed to the external input.
You can then use the External Input Volume
control to add distortion to the overall signal
as a sound element. A signal connected
to the External input is ignored in this mode.
Noise Volume
Controls the level of the noise signal. When
noise is used as a modulation source, the
volume level has no effect on the intensity
of the modulation.
Noise White/Pink
Selects the noise ‘color’. When noise is
used as a modulation source, the color has
an effect on the modulation.
External Input Volume
The volume level of the external signal. For
this to have an effect, a sound source must
be connected to the Audio input of the Mi-
nimax. A signal lamp above the control
serves as a level meter. The brightness of
the lamp indicates the strength of the signal
output or an over condition.
