TOP PATCH PANEL
While not a modular synthesizer, the Minimoog Model D features an enhanced Patch Panel to interface
with other analog synthesizers and musical equipment via Control Voltage, Trigger signals and MIDI.
This Patch Panel also expands the expressive performance capabilities of the Minimoog Model D itself.
The Patch Panel is located along the top edge of the synthesizer.
MIDI PORTS
MIDI IN
The Minimoog Model D can receive MIDI Note, Velocity, and Pitch Bend
information, as well as SysEx commands.
MIDI OUT
The Minimoog Model D can send MIDI Note, Velocity, and Pitch Bend information, as well as Aftertouch.
MIDI THRU
This jack rebroadcasts the signal arriving at the MIDI IN jack, and passes it along to other MIDI
equipment.
CONTROL OUTPUTS
PITCH OUT
This jack sends a control voltage signal based on the Pitch
of the note being played on the keyboard. This output is not
affected by the position of the Pitch wheel. The default setting
is for the key C0 to generate zero volts; however this note is
not accessible from the keyboard itself. Using the Pitch CV
Zero Volt Power On Command (see page 22), you can specify a
particular key to have a control voltage value of zero volts.
VELOCITY OUT
This jack sends a control voltage signal based on the Velocity used to play a note on the keyboard.
There is a small trimpot located adjacent to this jack that is used for attenuating the level of the
Velocity control voltage signal.
AFTER PRESSURE OUT (AFTERTOUCH)
This jack sends a control voltage signal based on the After Pressure that is generated by pressing down
further on a key that is already being held down on the keyboard. There is a small trimpot located
adjacent to this jack that is used for attenuating the level of the After Pressure control voltage signal.
V-TRIG OUT
This 1/4” jack sends a Trigger signal each time a note is played. It uses a standard V-Trigger connector
in place of the S-Trigger and Cinch-Jones hardware used on the original Minimoog Model D.
