Moog Minitaur Analog Bass Synthesizer (Black)
EAN: 094922371089
The black Moog Minitaur Analog Bass Synthesizer is a programmable analog bass synthesizer designed with a one-knob-per-function design, allowing you to adjust your sounds on the fly. The Minitaur s sound engine is powered by two oscillators with selectable sawtooth or square waveshapes. With the latest firmware upgrade, v2.2 now offers up to 128 on-board presets, five additional modulation sources, hard sync, assignable CV/Gate inputs, and the ability to only modulate oscillator 2.
The synth supports MIDI via 5-pin DIN and USB MIDI, which offers control over both playing and the Minitaur s LFO, allowing it to be used to create dubstep-style wobbles and sweeps. Its rear-panel control voltage inputs provide access for additional tweaking of your pitch, filter, and volume with external CV sources. Additionally, these CV/Gate inputs can be configured via the included free editor/librarian to control any feature on or under the hood. The 1/4 mono audio input allows you to use the Minitaur s filter and envelopes on other audio sources.

- Free Editor/Librarian Software: Seamless DAW integration now with full Windows support
- Five New Modulation Sources: Tri, Sqr, Saw, Ramp, S&H and Filter EG
- Hard Sync: Access a completely new sonic palette with your Minitaur
- Modulate Oscillator 2 Only: Pair with Hard Sync for syncopated metallic sweeps and surges
- Assignable CV/Gate Inputs: Control any feature on or under the hood of your Minitaur via control voltage
- CV to MIDI Conversion: Bring control voltage into your DAW for analog control over digital circuits
General Features
- Decay/Release mode allows for independent control of Decay and Release times from Minitaur s front panel
- Pitch, Volume and Gate Controller inputs can be re-mapped to other control parameters
- Minitaur can act as a CV to MIDI converter
- One-knob-per-function interface for tweaking and creating new sounds on the fly
- Two oscillators with Sawtooth (Original Taurus) and Square wave-shapes for each VCO. Recreate sounds of the original Taurus with Sawtooth waves, or create new sounds with square waves, or a combination of both
- 2 Mixer VCAs for VCO levels control of Oscillators 1 and 2
- Moog Ladder Filter with adjustable resonance delivers Taurus 1 and 3 bass and boom
- Two Minimoog-style ADSR Envelope Generators for modulating VCF and VCA. The Decay and Release segments are controlled by the Decay knob, while the Release segment is enabled or disabled via Release On/Off switch
- MIDI-syncable LFO with controls for Rate, VCO LFO Amount, and VCF LFO Amount
- 5-pin DIN MIDI and MIDI over USB offer complete control of the Minitaur s sound engine
- Analog Control inputs for Pitch, Filter, Volume and Gate. Use an EP2 or CV to connect and control Minitaur with everything from modulars to Moogerfoogers
- External audio input for processing external audio through the Mixer and Filter section of Minitaur
- Headphone output with 1/8 connection
- Steel chassis
