STEP 5
Next, pull up slightly on the LFO RATE knob to select a square wave. The LFO R ATE
knob is a push/pull knob allowing you to switch the LFO waveshape between triangle
and square. Pulling up on the LFO RATE knob switches the LFO shape to square and
pushing down on the knob returns it to triangle.
STEP 6
Finally, as the external source is playing, hold down any note on the keyboard and
push the MODULATION Wheel forward to create a pulsed filter eect. Adjust the
LFO RATE, FILTER CUTOFF FREQUENCY, and EMPHASIS knobs accordingly.
ENHANCING A KEYBOARD PERFORMANCE
In this example, the expressive capabilities of the Minimoog Model D keyboard are
enhanced by adding Velocity control to the volume and After Pressure control to
the filter brightness.
STEP 1
Connect a 1/4” TS to 1/4” TS
instrument cable from the
VELOCITY Control Output to the
LOUDNESS Ext. Control Input.
Now, the velocity with which
a note is played will aect the
Loudness, or output volume, of
the Model D. Use the adjustable
trimpot adjacent to the VELOCITY
INT. Control Output to determine
the amount of velocity control.
STEP 2
Next, connect a 1/4” TS to 1/4” TS
instrument cable from the AFTER
PRESSURE Control Output to the
FILTER EX T Control Input.
By applying small amounts of
pressure to a key while holding a
note, the Filter Cuto Frequency
will change, allowing the note to
appear brighter in tone or timbre.
Use the adjustable trimpot
adjacent to the AFTER PRESSURE
Control Output to determine the
amount of After Pressure control.
