Introducing The Oscillator

The oscillator is the tone-generating center of the MicroBrute. The basic patch has
the Sawtooth Wave turned up fully. Try turning the Sawtooth Wave down to 0 and
turning up the Square Wave as shown in Figure 2
Figure 2
You will hear the sound go from a brighter, buzzy sound to a more rounded and
hollow tone.
Now try turning the Square Wave down and turn up the Triangle Wave. The sound
will be even darker now.
Turn the Triangle Wave down and turn up the Overtone level and listen to it.

More Oscillator options

The knobs directly above each of the waveform level knobs, adjust aspects of the
sound of each waveform itself. Turn up one waveform level at a time and then try
turning the knob directly above to hear how the sound changes. You can hear how
varied the sounds can be.

Combine sounds

Now try turning up more than one level knob and mixing the sounds of different
waveforms together. When you start mixing waveforms and adjust the wave
modifiers above them, you start to hear the great variation of sounds that you can
generate on the MicroBrute.
