OVERVIEW

The Minimoog Model D is a self-contained monophonic analog synthesizer, and the direct descendant
of the Moog modular synthesizers that preceded it. The main synthesizer components include:
• Oscillator-1
• Oscillator-2
• Oscillator-3
• Noise Generator
• LFO Modulation Oscillator
• Audio Mixer
The front panel groups these elements and controls together by type: CONTROLLERS, OSCILLATOR
BANK, MIXER, MODIFIERS, OUTPUT in an intuitive and efficient design. All of these elements are
controlled via single-function knobs and switches. And like its modular ancestors, the Minimoog
Model D is constructed of independent synthesizer circuits connected by audio pathways and
control lines. In place of patch cables, the Minimoog 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 Off.
• White Switches: Turn performance features On and Off.
• Black Switches: Select between modulation sources.
