E5 – Minimoog Overdrive
Detuned, overdriven “spitting” 3-oscillator Minimoog sound, similar
to the one used by Jan Hammer on the tune “Celestial Terrestrial
Commuters” from the Mahavishnu Orchestra album
Birds of Fire
(circa 1973). In addition to 3 oscillators, this sound mixes in white
noise which tracks the keyboard. Assgn. Switch 1 lowers noise
volume, Assgn Switch 2 sets pitch of oscillator 3 to 32 steps below
that of osc. 1 & 2.

The audio output of the Minimoog could be run first into a splitter, then back into
the external input, to overdrive the oscillators (the “OVERLOAD” lamp would light
up). Notice noise could be either white or pink – different “flavors” of noise.
