Moog Minitaur Analog Bass Synthesizer
- DESCRIPTION
The Moog Minitaur is the smallest instrument in the Moog Taurus family to date and is the only one so far that does not have foot pedals. But don't let its size or lack of pedals fool you, the Minitaur is a powerful analog bass synthesizer that has all of the legendary Moog analog bass sounds packed inside. With its "one knob per function" design and compact size the Minitaur will seamlessly fit into today's performance and production settings. And since there are no confusing menus to dig through you can just plug in a MIDI controller or hook it up to your computer and start playing on the spot.
Again, don't let it's size or "one knob per function" design fool you. The Minitaur gives you all the low end growl and subsonic bass you would associate with the Moog Taurus family.
The Moog Minitaur features the following:
- 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 classic 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
- 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.
- Compact rugged chassis that is built like a tank.
