As I don’t really need audio in on mine, I decided to remove the corresponding socket and knob in order to have space for other controls.Ĭase responds okay to paint removal with acetone. The sides and rear a are a tad easier for placement, yet you want your extra bits accessible. The extra CV sockets on the picture at the top of this page, for instance, only fit with some additional internal modifications (the sockets need to be quite shallow unless you want to chip off a bit of the front PCB as I ended up doing). The Microbrute sporting an high function-to-space ratio, placing extra controls is actually not as simple as it may seem at first glance.

Let’s kick off with some waveshaper fonk: different waveshaper settings (plus drums and some fx) Placing Controls Further down the line, there might be some experiments with the oscillator circuits, so drop by regularly as this page is bound to grow. A second line of changes is aimed at increasing the Microbrute’s power as a CV converter/utility synth.

One line of changes is aimed at making the sound engine yet more flexible and versatile (although there are already many good things under the hood!).

Rather than following the temptation to modularize everything inside the Micro, I focus on some select changes I find musically sensible.
