is it possible to add the "key on" toggle like the Voyager has, to the D reissue?

it's labelled " env gate on/keyboard " on the Voyager and holds the last note pressed indefinitely

I find it incredibly useful, and I am wishing I had 3 arms when using the model D.

having to hold the note with one hand, leaving only one free to "wiggle" is very annoying in comparison

thanks!

You could stick a knife between two keys to hold one down - LOL!

Seriously: You're right, I also often use the "gate on" switch on my Voyager, it's a helpful tool.

Not quite as good as the knife idea but...you do have the V trig gate input on the back. Just tie it to something that puts out 5V - - maybe a pedal you already have or a modular component?

hey, that is a great idea!

at least, it is possible to achieve the effect. I'll try it

....that also means it would be fairly easy to do internally, with a switch. if one were so inclined. tap 5v from somewhere and feed it to the V trig point.

I wonder if that's how it's wired on the Voyager?

not nearly as glamorous as a knife, though!!


ps I saw some keyboard weights displayed at knobcon. good idea, but do they also work on black keys?

i think the minimoog accepts midi sustain pedal . so you could program a sustain controller in logic or cubase , etc. . .

Simple sent a MIDI note to the reissue Minimoog and then pull the MIDI cable while the note is held. This way, the Minimoog will be "key on" until you switch it off.

My harmless knife solution on the picture of today there : )

hahaha

a clothes pin....of course!!
