Figure 7
FILTER as an OSCILLATOR?
As you may have found out in the last section, turning the RESONANCE control up
too high can produce some other pitches. This is called FILTER OSCILLATION. It is
when the filter actually becomes an oscillator. With the RESONANCE at the
maximum clockwise position, turning the CUTOFF control will vary the pitch that you
hear. See Figure 8. Be careful as it can result in some high volume sounds coming out.
Figure 8
Brute Factor
The BRUTE FACTOR control can add some subtle grunge to warm up the low end on
a sound or it can be cranked up to create some nasty, Brutal, sounds. BE CAREFUL
AND TURN DOWN THE OUTPUT VOLUME BEFORE TURNING THE BRUTE FACTOR UP!!
You will find that the BRUTE FACTOR knob and the influence it has on the sound will
vary greatly based on the settings of the CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs as well as
the MODE switch.
