Moog MINIMOOG MODEL D, User Manual

Page: 10 / 84

10 | New Features
Though no changes have been made to the original sound engine, your Minimoog
Model D includes a series of modifications that expand the instrument’s sonic
capabilities and performance features.
KEYBOARD
A Fatar TP-9 keyboard has been implemented with the ability to transmit both After
Pressure and Velocity control voltages. While these signals are not hardwired to any
specific parameter, the expanded Top Patch Panel allows Velocity and After Pressure
signals to modify the Filter Cutoff Frequency, Loudness, and Oscillator Pitch.
DEDICATED LFO (LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR)
Traditionally, OSCILLATOR-3 could operate independently of the keyboard and be
used as an LFO. Now, a dedicated LFO has been added to the Left-Hand Keyboard
panel, featuring a push/pull
LFO RATE knob to switch the LFO waveshape between
triangle and square. In addition, Filter Contour (FILTER EG) is now also available as a
modulation source.
EXPANDED PATCH BAY
CONTROL OUTPUTS:
• V-TRIGGER/GATE
• PITCH
• VELOCITY
• AFTER PRESSURE
POWER-ON COMMANDS
By holding down specific keys as Minimoog Model D is powered on, you can select a
MIDI Channel, transpose the instrument, choose the note priority, and set other global
functions.
MIDI
Five-pin DIN MIDI In, MIDI Out, and MIDI Thru jacks have been added to provide basic
MIDI connectivity.
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Minimoog Model D now features a universal (100~240 VAC, 50/60Hz) external power
supply, reducing the weight and heat created by the internal power supply, and
improving stability of the instrument. This also makes it easier to travel with your
Minimoog Model D.
LEFT-HAND CONTROLLER
Mod Wheel now receives and transmits MIDI data. Pitch Wheel is now spring-loaded
and returns to center.
