For that electronic music throb, you can sync the LFO to MIDI Clock, and reset its phase when a new note is played. The modulation signal can be sent to the oscillators and the filter cutoff frequency.
Next up is the standard VCA followed by a gain control, which can be set via MIDI to tweak the VCA’s initial level for velocity-sensitive action.Ī single LFO controls modulation via a triangle wave with a frequency range from 0.01 to 100Hz. The cutoff frequency can also be set to velocity-sensitive via the editor. Now here’s a tip for anyone looking for some squelch, in order to get the box to resonate at it’s maximum, you have to set a concealed parameter to 100%, to utilize it as an additional oscillator. The filter’s tasty Moog knob will definitely get a workout from all you tweakers out there, and you can get the resonance to self-oscillate without much effort.
Once you dial in your oscillators, the signal is sent to Moog’s famed 24dB/octave silky, low-pass filter. Unfortunately, there isn’t a designated knob for input level, therefore you have to rely on MIDI CC for 0 to 200 percent gain. Your sound is now sent to a three channel mixer section, the two oscillators and any external sound you input via the 1/4″ audio input. This is quite useful when detuning in order to maximize the sonic character. It resets the phases of both oscillators when a Note On message is received, allowing your to reboot the phase at the start of each note. One of the Jedi Powers of the Minitaur, that’s somewhat undercover, is a parameter in the oscillator section dubbed, Note Sync. You can detune VCO2 against VCO1 by up to +/- 12 semitones, and fine-tune the whole instrument within a range of +/- one semitone. The Minitaur boasts two oscillators that can generate either Sawtooth or Square waves. The front panel of the Moog Minitaur synthesizer
Even though the Minitaur’s pedigree is fat analog bass sounds, it can also be used for screaming leads, big brass and other sonic signatures that go far beyond your simple analog bass synth. It includes the updated Editor, which allows you to “get under the hood” of the synth revealing additional magical powers. The Minitaur has a small footprint, but is big on sound and features. Moog Music recently updated their most affordable synth, the Minitaur, and we got our grubby hands on it for a workout.
