Keyboard
The keyboard of Minimoog Model D features
44 keys, or three and a half octaves, from F to
C. Playing a note will transmit control voltage
information to the Oscillators, Keyboard Tracking
information to the Filter, and will trigger both of
the Contour Generators. The original keyboards
used on Minimoog Model D in the 1970s have long
since vanished, so a new Fatar TP-9 keyboard is
used. This new keybed introduces features that
have long been desired by Minimoog Model D
owners, without compromising the integrity of
the instrument. The keyboard can now transmit
MIDI information, generate a Velocity control
voltage signal and also an After Pressure control
voltage signal. These additional control signals
are available as CV outputs on the Top Patch
Panel in addition to analog Pitch CV and Gate
outputs.
TIP: Using Power-On Commands, the performance
of the keyboard can be customized. For example,
traditionally Minimoog Model D used Low-Note
Priority; this can now be set to Last-Note priority. To
learn more about Power-On commands, go to page
46 of this manual (Global Settings).
