The Input Level knob is recessed so that it does not get in the way. Just push on the knob

Fine Tune

The Fine Tune knob provides precision adjustment of the oscillator pitch.
The 12 o'clock position corresponds to the default tuning (i.e. A=440Hz)
when you play the second rightmost A of the keyboard and the default
Octave is selected. The full range of the Fine Tuning knob is from about -2

from being bumped. Just press the knob and it will pop out, allowing for
easy adjustment.

Audio Outputs

Connect the Line Out jack to an audio mixer, a computer's sound card, or
directly to an audio amplifier using a ¼" mono cable. You can connect a

knob on the front panel controls the output level of both these jacks.

step sequencer, etc.) through a CV/GATE interface where CV means Control Voltage.
The Gate In 1/8" jack allows other analog devices to trigger the MicroBrute envelopes.
The main MicroBrute functions (i.e., filter cutoff, and oscillator pitch) are controlled by
the Cutoff and Pitch jacks in the Mod Matrix.
