Setting Up The Instrument - Moog Minimoog Operation Manual

setting up the instrument

Place the instrument at a convenient level for playing and secure the Front Panel in the "up"
position by means of the metal bracket underneath.
1. Set all switches in the off position (left-hand or bottom half depressed).
2. Referring to Fig. 1, below, set all of the control knobs as indicated.
3. Plug the power cord into any conventional 117 Volt A.C. outlet.
4. Two 6' patch-cords are supplied with the Mini Moog. If you are using a portable, guitar-
type amplifier, run the cord with the phone plug at each end from the LOW level MAIN
OUTPUT jack on the rear connector strip of the Mini Moog to an input on your amplifier.
If you are using a monitor amplifier, you will need to use the other cord. Plug the phone
plug end into the HIGH level MAIN OUTPUT jack of the synthesizer, and run the small
phono-plug at the other end into the high level input of the monitor amplifier (or into the
line level input of a tape recorder).
The following sections of this guide will be devoted to a systematic description of individual
control functions in relation to the synthesizer's component circuits.
