Mixer & Noise
EXTERNAL INPUT VOLUME
An external audio source can be introduced to Minimoog
Model D using the
EXT. INPUT SIGNAL
jack located on
the Top Patch Panel. The Volume of the external signal is
controlled using this knob.
If no cable is connected to the
EXT. INPUT SIGNAL
jack,
the main audio output of Minimoog Model D is attenuated
slightly and then normalled to the External Input signal path.
In this case, the Main Output signal is sent back to the input
of the mixer. By increasing the External Input volume far
enough, the Mixer can overload, introducing varying levels
of overdrive or distortion. When this occurs, the Overload
indicator lamp will light. In this case, the External Input
Volume control is post Main Output volume. This means that
the
MAIN OUTPUT VOLUME
knob will affect the amount of
overload in addition to the
EXTERNAL INPUT VOLUME
knob.
CRITICAL NOTE:
With no cable connected to the
EXT. INPUT
SIGNAL
jack, and the
EXTERNAL INPUT VOLUME
and
MAIN
OUTPUT VOLUME
controls turned all the way up, it is possible to
overload the mixer to the point that only one sound is heard and
different pitches do not sound. This will not damage the instrument.
NOISE
Noise can be a very desirable sound source—either alone or
mixed in with other sources. It can be used to create anything
from a rocket launch to the subtle breath of a flute sound.
In addition to the
NOISE VOLUME
knob, there is a switch for
selecting either
WHITE
or
PINK
noise. White Noise contains
equal energy per frequency. Pink Noise contains equal
energy per octave of the audio spectrum, and is perceived
as having more low-frequency components. If you think
of White Noise as TV static, consider Pink Noise more as a
waterfall pounding the rocks below.
