Minimoog Model D Decay Issue

The Moog Forum Moog Music General Topics Forum

Hello,

Whenever I enable decay on my Minimoog, it tends to glide between notes, even when glide is disabled and set to 0.

In addition, when enabling decay, and playing some of the lowest or highest keys, upon releasing the keys, the pitch of the note glides up about half a semitone.

Was about to do some circuit investigation but thought, i’d try my luck here if anyone has encountered this issue before. The keyboard could also use a service.

Cheers,

Very common issue. Keyboard has two busses on each key, CV and trigger. The CV must make contact just before trigger does. Otherwise you get the behavior you are describing.

Yes, but that happens regardless of the decay switch setting. Perhaps there is something missing from the description of the symptom (?).
