Moog Minitaur Analog Bass Synth
PRE-ORDER
We will ship to you as soon as we receive stock
The Moog Minitaur is a powerful analog bass synth in a modular desktop format, with an intuitive knob layout to make tweaking patches quick and easy, especially for live performance.
As far as analog synths go, look no further than Moog - After their rise to prominence in the 1970s, Moog modular synths are in demand more than ever, and offer a more immersive music creative experience than traditional software synths.
Taurus power packed into a portable desktop synth
Two waveform oscillators provide a range of tones for you to tweak and evolve on the fly, with over 100 synth presets to get your creative juices flowing. All of the sound creation tools and controls are at your disposal, including a trademark 4-pole Moog Lowpass VCF Filter, VCO, VCA and amplifier envelopes for you to fine tune your perfect synth sound.
Additional performance controls like Release and Glide switches allow you to further customise your tone, whilst a bank of 1/4" jack CV inputs and expression pedal input offers all the connectivity for hooking up to external keyboards and controllers.
A USB MIDI port on the rear allows for direct connectivity to your DAW sequencer for virtual synth recording.
