MinBrute Calibration

[oyarsa]

In searching for the proper calibration method for my MiniBrute I have come across "Technical Note 06" which is for the MicroBrute.  I assume the calibration technique is similar for both instruments, however I need to be clear which trimmer pot is "OFFSET" and which one is "SLOPE".

The 2 holes are in a different location on the Mini so clarification would be helpful.   When looking at the back panel (keys facing away) which one is "OFFSET" and which is "SLOPE"?

Thanks!

Hi,
You need Technote 01 for the Minibrute,

It says something like this:
let the synth warm up for at least 10 min
Connect a digital tuner to the output,
Slide up the sawtooth waveform fader to maximum level. 
Press the Octave buttons until reaching the center position: green LED is lit.
Make sure the Fine Tune knob is at center position.
Find a plastic (!!) 2mm flat screwdriver,

First:
Press the lowest key on the left of the keyboard, and hold it down. 
The frequency should be a perfect C at 130.80 Hz (0 cent). 
If it is not the case, turn the Slope trimmer to reach this value. 
The Slope trimmer is nearest the MIDI in/outs, the other one is the Offset trimmer

Then:
1) Press the upper most key on the right of the keyboard and hold it down.
Turn the Offset trimmer to reach C at 523.30 Hz (+/- 5 cents). 

2) Press the lowest key on the left of the keyboard, and hold it down. 
Turn the Slope trimmer to reach C at 130.80 Hz (+/- 5 cents). 

Repeat steps 1) and 2) until both notes are in tune (+/- 5 cent)

Full “0-cent accuracy” can not be achieved: +/- 5 cents tolerance generally is OK.
Expect some drift at the extremes (up to +/- 20 cents): C-3 will *not* be accurate, neither will be C5.
