im having trouble with the LFO...im tryin to do a really low speed filter sweep, but the cutoof never goes down to full closed from fully open

i did this on an SH101 recently using a basic init patch to sample the filter response etc, but can seem to do it on the MiniBrute

im using an init/raw osc patch with LP filter > cutt off full open (tried with fully closed too) and LFO/sine wave (tried wqith triangle too)

the filter will open and close to a certain degree, but not fully in either direction

any ideas?

thanks

I suppose with the filter cutoff right in the middle? Like 12o clock?

Mind you, i don't have it right in front of me now, but i seem to remember doing it that way...

i tried that, but it doesnt open/close fully at any setting

edit: just tried again, its the closest it will go at 50% mark...

yes, depth is set to full

Do you have your mod wheel destination set to cut off? I just tested, and couldn't get a full sweep until I put the mod wheel selector on vibrato and put the cut off to zero. Also had to play with the kb tracking. 33% seemed to pretty much give the full range to the sweep for me

Ta, i'll try in a bit.

dunno what it is about this synth and its filter, its a bit odd...great sounds, but it behaves very diff to normal filters...

ive tried every trick i know and cannot get a kick drum sounds from the MiniBrute, and looking on the web it seems no-one else can

Any ideas?

setting cut off to zero produces no sound at all, at 50% its as close as i can get to a full up/down sweep

Final bump on the kick question.

You can create some kicks by self oscillation of the filter, see also the user tips in this thread on Gearslutz:

i know how to make them, seems like the filter isnt up to it in the MB

thanks, saw that a while back. As i said, i havent heard anyone else make a convincing kick sound yet...

Most of the time I get kick sounds with a lot of distortion with the MiniBrute. With the MiniBrute you get a lot of sound possibilities for the money, but (rounded) kicks are not easy to dial in for sure.

Yeah you can def get some nice dist/metallic perc sounds, but the typical kick is being elusive...

for those interested, i came across this trick:
