CREATIVE SWITCHING

With a little forethought, the blue and orange rocker switches on Minimoog Model D can be used
to quickly introduce new elements to your performance. For example, by tuning OSCILLATOR–2
and OSCILLATOR–3 to specific intervals in regard to OSCILLATOR–1, extra harmonies or chords
can be added to your performance as you play.
STEP 1
Tune OSCILLATOR-2 to a Perfect Fifth (7 semitones) above
OSCILLATOR-1.
STEP 2
Tune OSCILLATOR–3 to a Perfect Fourth (-5 semitones) below
OSCILLATOR–1.
STEP 3
In the MIXER panel, use the blue rocker switches to
turn OSCILLATOR–1 ON, and OSCILLATOR–2 and
OSCILLATOR–3 OFF.
STEP 4
Now, as you play a lead, you can switch the blue
OSCILLATOR–2 and OSCILLATOR–3 rocker switches
ON to instantly add a parallel harmony voice.
