Product Description

The Moog Minitaur Compact Analog Bass Synthesizer is a powerful, compact bass synth that features a classic one knob per function design. It is the first instrument in the Taurus family that does not have foot pedals. At only 8.5 x 5.25 inches and less than 3lbs, the Moog Minitaur synth puts legendary analog Moog bass into a package designed to fit seamlessly into today's performance and production environments.

Minitaur v2.2 is now available!
The new Minitaur v2.2 update expands this powerful analog bass synthesizer with a host of new performance elements and user requested features, including front-panel access to new LFO wave-shapes, oscillator hard-sync and much more--and Minitaur's new Librarian/Editor Software makes DAW integration seamless between your synthesizer and Mac or Windows machine.

 
With the Minitaur there are no confusing or convoluted menus to dig through. Plug in a MIDI controller or hook the Minitaur up to your computer and start playing immediately. Don't be fooled by it's size, Minitaur delivers all the growl, snarl and low end assosiciated with the Taurus family of Bass Synthesizers in a rugged performance package that is small enough to take with you anywhere!
