Now, press a key; you should hear your very first MiniBrute sound!
Nice... but it sounds a bit like a pocket calculator, doesn't it? We’ll improve this in
the very next chapter, but for now play the keyboard while pressing either the
Down or Up
OCTAVE
section button. This should transpose the notes accordingly.
3.2 Add some vibrato
Press and hold a key on the keyboard, and slowly raise the
Modulation Wheel
—
this will add some vibrato to the sound.
Return the Modulation Wheel to minimum position.
Set the
CONTROL
section’s
Aftertouch
switch to the
Vibrato
position.
Now play the keyboard and when a key is down, press down on it further. This
triggers vibrato modulation on the note you’re holding, so you can add
expressiveness to your playing.
Raise the
Sub Osc
switch to the
position, and the
Octave
to the
-1
position.
Crank up the Sub Osc slider in the
MIXER
section to the middle of its range, and
press a key. This beefs up your sound by adding more bass.
