ARTURIA – minimoog V – QUICK START
5
Opening the extension
To use the minimoog V exactly like the original Minimoog, you must also deactivate the chorus and delay
effects on the toolbar and switch off the polyphony toggle in the output section.

MODE
The «Close» mode holds 50 synthesis settings, which will allow you to conceive an
infinite variety of sounds. The knobs and switches associated to these parameters are
found regrouped on the panel above the keyboard.
These parameters are composed of:
•
3 oscillators (VCO) which deliver the base audio signal thanks to 6 wave
forms (triangle, sawtooth 1 and 2, square, rectangle 1 and 2) and manage the height
of the sound (the frequency). The third can also be used as a modulator when it’s is
directed to the filter or oscillators.
•
A Mixer allows you to mix the signals coming from the oscillators or the noise module.
•
A low-pass 24 dB resonant filter
•
An ADS envelope modulating the low-pass filters
•
1 amplifier (VCA) allowing the amplification of the signal coming from the filter to
direct it to the stereo output.
•
An ADS envelope modulating the signal going through the amplifier.
The synthesis parameters
Let’s see how to quickly create a progressive lead:
To correctly understand the logic in programming the minimoog V, let’s use a very
simple sound. Select the preset «1_Osc» (in the «User / Temp» sub-bank). The
structure of synthesis of this sound is very basic: the sawtooth waveform of
oscillator1 is active and the signal is routed through the low-pass filter, and then the
output amplifier.
