A GUIDE TO THE OPERATION OF THE MINI MOOG MODEL D A. INTRODUCTION An electronic music synthesizer is a musical instrument whose circuitry can be interconnected and set up in a large variety of ways to produce a broad spectrum of musical sounds. The component circuit controls and interconnections of the Mini Moog Synthesizer are arranged in a logical and convenient way which is ideal for live performance. The purpose of this manual is to acquaint you with the component cir- cuitry of the Mini Moog and the operation of each of the controls and switches regulating the generators, modifiers, and control devices involved in the synthesizing of a musical sound. After proceeding step by step through the instructions outlined below, you should be ready to begin using your instrument creatively and efficiently. B. BASIC MINI MOOG FEATURES The Mini Moog contains the basic components and features to be found on larger, studio-oriented synthesizers. Its five sound sources include three oscillators for the production of pitched tones, one noise source for the production of unpitched sounds, and one microphone preamplifier for the introduction of live signals. Mixer controls are available for balancing these signals. Sound modifiers include a lowpass filter and an amplifier, both of which have their own contour generators. The control devices include a 44-note keyboard for use by the right hand, and two wheel controls and two switches for use by the left hand. Provision is made at the rear of the instrument for connecting external controlling devices such as sequencers, foot pedals, and two- dimensional (joystick) controllers. These may be used to control volume, pitch, and filter characteristic. Timing signals may also be introduce to trigger the contour generators. C. AUDIO, CONTROL, AND TIMING SIGNALS Sound travels through the Mini Moog circuitry in the form of electrical signals which are called AUDIO signals. These audio signals are generated by the five sound sources, and after undergoing extensive modification emerge as the output signal. It is this signal, amplified, which is translated into sound by your speaker system. 1
