1.
Play
the
keyboard
alternately
with
connected
(legato)
and
detached
(staccato)
technique.
Notice
the
difference
in
sound
response.
Alternate
techniques
for
phrasing
and
accent
effects.
Note
that
the
KBD
TRIGGERING
Switch
is
to
SINGLE.
2.
Move
the
CONTOUR
AMOUNT
control
back
to
"+2".
Notice
that
the
difference
between
legato
and
staccato
technique
is
less
exaggerated
as
CONTOUR
AMOUNT
is
reduced.
3.
Move
the
FILTER
CONTOUR
RELEASE
control
to
the 100
msec
position.
The
"head"
on
the
note
occurs
more
quickly
now.
As
this
exercise
indicates,
musical
use
of single
triggering
is
most
effective
when
the
FILTER
section
is
being
contoured.
Making
good
use
of
single
triggering
requires
some
experimentation
with
several
controls.
But
the
important
thing
to
remember
is
that,
unlike
organs
and
some
synthesizers,
what
you
do
on
the
keyboard
of
the
Multimoog
can
contribute
to
the
expressivity
of
the
music
when
single
triggering
is
used.
Continue
exercise:
4.
Select
the
MULTIPLE
position
of
the
KBD
TRIGGERING
switch to
provide
multiple
triggering.
5.
Play
as
before.
Note
that
a
new
trigger
is
generated
to
coincide
with
a
new
pitch
regard
less
of
keyboard
technique.
(END
EXERCISE)
Multiple
triggering
can
be
useful
during
very
rapid
passages
to
insure
that
notes
will
not
be
"lost".
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
MoogT"-style
multiple
triggering
is
different
from
some
other
"multiple"
S&H
AUTO
TRIGGERING
The
other
source
of
triggers
on
the
Multimoog
is
the
S&H
AUTO
mode
of
the
MODULATION
section.
In
this
mode,
a
series
of
triggers
is
generated
that
is
controlled
in
rate
by
the
RATE
control.
Like
any
trigger
schemes.
Triggers
and
new
pitches
always
coincide,
since
new
triggers
are
generated
literally
by
sensing
a
pitch
change.
trigger,
these
triggers
activate
60th
contour
generators
on
the
Multimoog.
It
might
be
useful
to
note
that
a
S&H
AUTO
trigger
lasts
only
half
of
the
time
taken
by
a
given sample;
