Audio Outputs; Audio Input - Moog Minimoog Model D User Manual

AUDIO OUTPUTS

There are two Main audio outputs: LOW level, and HIGH level.
MAIN OUTPUT LOW JACK
This is the most commonly used output for connecting to guitar amplifiers,
DI inputs on a preamplifier, etc...
MAIN OUTPUT HIGH JACK
This is the most commonly used output for connecting to the line input of a mixer, audio interface,
keyboard amplifier etc...

AUDIO INPUT

An external audio source can be introduced into the Minimoog Model D via this input jack. The signal
appears at the EXTERNAL INPUT switch and VOLUME knob in the MIXER panel. This allows an
external audio signal to be processed, gated, and filtered by the Minimoog Model D.
EXT. SIGNAL INPUT JACK
Connect the audio output cable from your external sound source to this input jack.
If no cable is connected here, the output of the Minimoog Model D is attenuated and
then normalled to the External Input signal path. In this case, increasing the level of
the EXTERNAL INPUT VOLUME knob on the MIXER panel will reintroduce the output
signal of the instrument back to the input of the mixer. By increasing the External Input
volume far enough, the Mixer can overload, introducing varying levels of overdrive or distortion. When
this occurs, the OVERLOAD indicator lamp will light, regardless of whether or not the EXTERNAL
INPUT switch is set to ON or OFF.
NOTE: The scaling of overdrive is directly related to the MAIN OUTPUT VOLUME knob. Because of
this, it is ideal to keep the MAIN OUTPUT VOLUME knob at or below 6 for the most musical range of
overdrive control via the EXTERNAL INPUT VOLUME knob.
CONTROL INPUTS
LOUDNESS INPUT
A 0 to +5 volt control voltage signal connected to this input jack will affect the overall level of the
Loudness Contour.
FILTER INPUT
A 0 to +5 volt control voltage signal connected to this input jack will affect the Cutoff Frequency of the Filter.
NOTE: The OSCILLATOR, VELOCITY, and FILTER input jacks are equipped with TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve)
connectors with a current-limited +5V on the ring. This allows each parameter to be controlled via
control voltage signal or from a Moog EP-3 expression pedal.
OSCILLATOR INPUT JACK
A 1 V/Octave additive control voltage signal connected
to this input jack will affect the pitch of the Oscillators.
