5.5. The Amplifier section (AMP)
The amplifier section controls the final stage of the MiniBrute 2 output. Everything else that
has happened on the synth will be fed through this section before it reaches the audio output
connectors.
5.5.1. Brute Factor
The
Brute Factor
is a special MiniBrute 2 feature inspired by a common patch used on
a famous vintage mono-synthesizer that connected the headphone output to the external
audio input. The result is a kind of feedback loop that’s ideal for raspy and grungy sounds.
This patch has been implemented internally to the MiniBrute 2, and is controlled by the
Brute
Factor
knob.
This knob’s normal position is fully counter-clockwise, which disables the
Brute Factor
;
turning up the knob gradually adds distortion to the sound. For low
Brute Factor
settings the
distortion is smooth and gentle, but it becomes more harsh as you turn up the knob. When
turned up higher than about 75% of the way, the MiniBrute 2 can go berserk and produce
barely controllable, crazy feedback sounds.
!: The Brute Factor feature drastically alters the filter characteristics, so expect highly unpredictable
results at extreme settings. You have been warned!
5.5.2. Master Volume
This knob controls the overall output level of the MiniBrute 2, and also controls the audio that
arrives at the Master input in the patch bay. It affects only the rear panel outputs (Master
and Headphones).
5.5.3. Global Tune
Once the oscillators have warmed up you can use this knob to tune the MiniBrute 2 to other
devices. See the
Warm-Up and General Tuning [p.9]
section of the
for more information.
