Minimoog Model D is a self-contained monophonic
analog synthesizer and a direct descendant of the
Moog modular synthesizers that preceded it. The
main synthesizer components include:
The front panel groups these elements and controls
together by type—CONTROLLERS, OSCILLATOR
BANK, MIXER, MODIFIERS, OUTPUT —in an
intuitive and ecient design. All of these elements
are controlled via single-function knobs and
switches. And like its modular ancestors, Model D
is constructed of independent synthesizer circuits
connected by audio pathways and control lines. In
place of patch cables, Model D uses color-coded
rocker switches to establish connections between
these circuit elements, or modules. Orange switches
connect modulation sources to their destinations.
Blue switches turn audio sources on and o. White
switches turn performance features on and o.
Black switches select between modulation sources.
