MOOG Minitaur

The Moog Minitaur Analog Bass Synth Module is a minimoog-style compact monophonic bass synthesizer based on the Taurus I and Taurus III synthesizers. The Moog Minitaur has a 100% analogue audio path and a one knob per function design for real-time tweakability including two Taurus VCOs with a choice of Saw Tooth or Square waves, two mixer VCAs, two minimoog style ADSR envelope and one VCF with ladder filter and VC Resonance and one VCA. In addition, the Minitaur possesses several new features such as an external audio input to expand on the sound design and synthesis possibilities.

At 8.5" x 5.25" and less than 3 lbs, the Minitaur marks the next chapter in the Taurus family history by offering new form factor, control interface and increased level of accessibility. Despite being the first in the Taurus family not to feature foot pedals, the Minitaur is nonetheless a powerful analog Moog bass featuring MIDI/USB Out with easily recalled presets for a package suitable for today's performance and production environments.

A mini thing of beauty

Review from: okenathan at 03/19/16

It took me a while to get to know this little beast. I've spend quite a lot of time with it and i'm loving the "playfullness".

Once you start turning those knobs, when you hear the growls and whistles you can't help but smile. And play.

Then play some more. :)

There is a nice note in the manual:
NOTE: Use caution when adjusting initial volume levels, especially if connected to a subwoofer.

Make no mistake, this beast needs to be tamed.

Review from: dq at 09/11/14

Great sound and build quality, lots of character.... No independent release Knob...No visible preset name...... Good Software, but not flawless... Its a fantastic instrument but like all moogs a bit expensive...

Sound Engineer-Synthetist

Review from: Kostas at 09/16/13

Great analog bass (and more than bass) synth, classic Moog sound - killer filter as always...
Rev 2 firmware adds fascinating new features like analog cv mapping to all parameters through the back side cv inputs, and also ADSR envelopes!

Thick, creamy, beautiful bass sounds

Review from: aj at 05/20/18

A bass sound so thick you can swim in it. A lot of fun to play with because of the controls / knobs. If you like the sound of Moog, you'll love this. Only things I've been missing is possibility to overload/overdrive it to make ir really growl, and maybe some moments also snappier envelope, but the suond is so beautiful it hasn't been a problem for me.
