The minimoog's CV in facilities are not what you might expect - no filter
tracking, and the glide circuit is in the keyboard, so it doesn't affect
note CV. There's a mod on the web for adding filter tracking:
http://analog.no/mods/moog_minimoog_cv.htm
I would have thought there was a slide option in the Pro 4 that you could
set up.

I have a home built CV convertor on my minimoog, with an auto-glide circuit,
and a CV mixer for routing note and velocity CV to the filter CV input.
That's a better approach if you want to leave your minimoog unmodified.
