Minimoog - Portamento, priority and triggering?

[Tusker]

I used to know this but I have forgotten. What type of triggering and portamento options does the minimoog have? The basic variations are Triggering (mono versus legato) and Portamento (full time versus legato). I assume the Mini has full time portamento with legato triggering but I am not sure. Also I assume the Mini is last note priority (as opposed to high or low note priority). Is this correct?

 

Are there other old monosynths that had different options, leading to a different bag of performance tricks?

 

Thx,

My recollection is that my Minimoog was single trigger, low note priority. The portamenta (labeled glide) was fulltime, with an on/off switch and rate knob.

Gee. Thanks Mike. That low note priority would be hard to emulate with most modern synths.

 

Cheers,
