E6 – Minimoog Ramp
Dual ramp waves set an octave apart drive this lead sound. Assgn.
Function Switch 1 adds the third oscillator set to unison with
Oscillator 1 and detuned slightly. Assgn. Function Switch 2 sets
oscillator 3 to Hi-rate Lo Frequency mode, tracking the keyboard.
Minimoog panel shot showing the switches and controls for oscillator 3.
Switching "OSCILLATOR MODULATION" on caused oscillator 3 to be both a
modulation source and audio source. "OSC 3 CONTROL" switch determined
oscillator 3's keyboard tracking mode. The "MOD MIX" knob determined the mix
of Oscillator 3's control/audio signal and the level of noise – with the 12 o'clock
position mixing equal amounts of both. This is where all the wild and fun stuff
happened, and shows that the Minimoog, despite its small size, was quite deep
and powerful.
E7 – Minimoog Sineclick
Spacey sine-wave lead with filter "click" transient. Assignable
Function switches add oscillators 2 and 3 at different pitch intervals.
