MIDI POWER-ON COMMANDS
MIDI AFTERTOUCH ON
Hold G0 + C1 while turning on the power to transmit Aftertouch (After Pressure) data via MIDI.
MIDI AFTERTOUCH OFF
Hold G0 + B0 while turning on the power to disable the transmission of Aftertouch (After Pressure)
data via MIDI.
MIDI LOCAL ON
Hold the highest three white keys (A3, B3, C4) while turning on the power to turn MIDI Local On.
MIDI LOCAL OFF
Hold the highest three black keys (F#3, G#3, A#3) while turning on the power to turn MIDI Local Off.
TIP: By transposing the MIDI note output, you can command a slave MIDI synthesizer to play in parallel
harmony with the Minimoog Model D. Additionally, by setting MIDI Local to Off and transposing the MIDI
note output, you can play in any key while using normal fingering.
MIDI VELOCITY CURVES
MIDI VELOCITY CURVE SOFT
Hold this C minor chord (C2, Eb2, G2) while turning on the power to choose the soft MIDI Velocity Curve.
MIDI VELOCITY CURVE MEDIUM
Hold this C Major chord (C2, E2, G2) while turning on the power to choose the medium MIDI Velocity Curve.
MIDI VELOCITY CURVE HARD
Hold this C Augmented chord (C2, E2, G#2) while turning on the power to choose the hard MIDI
Velocity Curve.
MIDI TUNING TABLE POWER-ON COMMANDS
STANDARD TUNING (ALTERNATE TUNING TABLE OFF)
Hold G1 + B1 while turning on the power to use the default tuning.
CUSTOM TUNING TABLE 1: PYTHAGOREAN C SCALE
Hold G1 + C2 while turning on the power to select Tuning Table 1 from memory.
CUSTOM TUNING TABLE 2: WENDY CARLOS HARMONIC 12-TONE SCALE
Hold G1 + D2 while turning on the power to select Tuning Table 2 from memory.
CUSTOM TUNING TABLE 3: HARRY PARTCH 43-TONE SCALE
Hold G1 + E2 while turning on the power to select Tuning Table 3 from memory.
PITCH CV ZERO VOLT POWER-ON COMMAND
Primarily of value when interfacing the Minimoog Model D with other analog synthesizers, this
command allows you to specify which note will cause the PITCH OUT control voltage (Pitch CV) to
have a value of zero volts. The default setting causes the Pitch CV to be 1.00 volt when the C above
low F on the keyboard is played. This key corresponds to MIDI note 48, meaning that MIDI note 36 will
produce a Pitch CV value of zero volts. To specify a different note, hold A3 and press any one key in
the octave above or below Middle C on the keyboard.
NOTE: This setting will affect both the Pitch CV output and the tuning of the synth itself, since the same
voltage driving the oscillators appears at the Pitch CV output jack. Note that if you move "which key
outputs zero volts" to a higher note on the keyboard, then the pitch that you hear when you play the
same key will be transposed down by the same number of notes.
