5.2.16 ENV 1 • PW 1 - Envelope 1 to Pulse Width
Sets the amount of ENV 1 (Envelope 1) modulation and the pulse width of Oscillator 1. To set modulation
to the full range of the pulse width, set the pulse width to “0,” meaning all the way counter-clockwise,
and then set the parameter to “10,” or all the way clockwise.
5.2.17 Mixer
5.2.17.1
Sets the mix level of Oscillator 1: default setting should be 75% of full, after which point a bit of
“browning out” occurs if both Oscillators are in use at that level—not a bad thing at all. Our MIDIMINI
distorts in just the same gleeful way. The SEM filter will get brown a tad earlier near 65% of full, due to its
lower input threshold.
5.2.17.2
Sets the mix level of Oscillator 2. Default setting should be 75% of full if a clean sound is in order [see
previous]. Otherwise, employ at full strength.
5.2.17.3
Sets the mix, or “heterodyne” of OSC 1 and OSC 2, and outputs the sum and difference of the
frequencies present in each waveform—tech-y. Expect to hear tones thick in harmonics and suitable for
producing bell-like/warm, metallic sounds, and “startpage” heterodyne right away, along with that other
thing you just remembered.
5.2.17.4
Sets the mix level of the Noise circuit. Default setting should be 0, unless you like hash with your bash.
5.2.17.5
Sets the level of positive feedback (a Drew Neumann NAMM 2013 term/spontaneous tutorial). A feature
similar to this was the best trick of the old Minim—g: running the unit back into itself. We repackaged
that as a pre-patched sweetening, screaming, and fully addictive tweak and twist necessity.
