Moog Minitaur Analogue Bass Synthesizer

Moog Minitaur Compact Analog Powerhouse for Monumental Bass

Dont let its size fool youthe Moog Minitaur delivers ground-shaking, subharmonic analog bass in a deceptively compact form. Born from the legendary Taurus line, the Minitaur carries on Moogs legacy of low-end dominance, combining classic tone with modern flexibility for todays stage and studio.

Pure Analog Bass, No Compromise

With two analog oscillators offering sawtooth and square waves, the Minitaur generates thick, punchy bass thats unmistakably Moog. Designed to excel below MIDI note 72, its tailored specifically for powerful bass linesbut is fully capable of broader sound design too.

Whether you’re looking for vintage growl or modern precision, the Minitaur’s 24dB/oct Moog ladder filter delivers creamy low-pass filtering with self-oscillation, envelope control, and even velocity sensitivity via hidden parameters.

Seamless DAW Integration

While its front panel gives immediate access to core sound-shaping controls, the free Minitaur Editor software unlocks a deeper layer of functionality:

• Access 20+ hidden parameters “under the hood”

• Store and recall up to 128 presets

• Automate every parameter with full MIDI CC support

• Sync the LFO to MIDI Clock and edit modulation depth, routing, and phase resets

• Save custom patches with ease for use in live or studio environments

The editor also enables advanced features like Note Sync for consistent phase starts, alternative glide modes (linear and exponential), legato playback, and fine-tuned VCO mix levelsincluding external audio processing.

Compact. Rugged. Ready to Roar.

Built into a solid steel chassis, the Minitaur is both road-ready and desk-friendly, measuring just 22 x 14 cm and weighing under 2kg. Every knob (except fine-tune) sends and receives MIDI data, making the Minitaur a natural fit for DAW automation or hands-on control from a MIDI controller.

Inputs and outputs include:

• ” Audio Out, 3.5mm Headphone Out, and Audio In for processing external sounds

• MIDI In (5-pin DIN) and USB MIDI

• Four CV/Gate inputs for pitch, filter, volume, and trigger control

More Than Just Bass

Though optimized for low-end dominance, the Minitaur is capable of a surprising range of soundsfrom snarling leads to expressive brass and flutes. Modulation is handled by a wide-range LFO (0.01Hz to 100Hz), routable to pitch and filter cutoff, and syncable to your MIDI clock.

Want even more flexibility? Pair the Minitaur with MIDI pedals, external synths, or CV sources to create paraphonic textures, enhance digital signals, or push your analog rig into new territory.
