Moog Minitaur Analog Bass Synthesizer Overview
With circuitry based on the legendary Taurus pedals, the foundation of classic tracks from Pink Floyd, through YES to Genesis, the Moog MINITAUR brings you thunderous bottom end in an astonishingly powerful yet diminutive package. Its sonic capabilities are not confined to progressive rock however. Anyone looking for thumping analogue bass or drones should set their sights firmly on MINITAUR. Featuring not one but two Moog oscillators specifically voiced for low end passing through that classic MOOG ladder filter, an analogue audio input for processing any signal you care to process, USB connectivity, plus an editor to access its extensive 'under the hood' capabilities MINITAUR is a tiny (only 8.5" x 5.25" and weighing less than 3lbs) bass power house.
