 Pitch – this controls the Pitch of the oscillator. By default, the LFO Output is
patched to this to allow for LFO vibrato.
 Filter – This allows control over the Filter Cutoff control. Note that the filter
section already allows for both Envelope and Keyboard controls apart from
the Mod Matrix.
 PWM – This is the input for the Pulse Width control.
General Controls
Keyboard
The MicroBrute keyboard covers a two-octave range, which can be extended using the
Octave Down/Up buttons. The keyboard can also be used as a fully polyphonic MIDI
controller for other devices via the rear panel USB jack.
Wheels
The MicroBrute features the two classic control wheels. The Pitch wheel position defaults
to the middle of its range, and returns to its default position when released. This wheel
creates a pitch bend effect, where the player can shift pitch smoothly up or down while
playing a note. The amount of shift is proportional to the rotation of the wheel. The
Range of the Pitch bend defaults to 2 semitones.
The second wheel is the Modulation wheel. It sets the overall amount of modulation
signal sent to targets selected by the MOD Wheel switch. Depending on the switch
setting, it controls the Cutoff or the LFO amounts.
