Minitaur : The ground shakes, your neighbour has awoken on the floor having felt like he's been touched by the devil himself.

9 years ago

Your postman has just delivered your new minitaur and you've naively plugged it in and turned up the bass. This thing has serious swingers for it's size. Great Moog build quality and the smoothest of filters.

I've been firing MIDI at it and using it as a bass machine I can tweak onstage. I've had a couple of funny MIDI things happen but in general it's been quite stable. Changing presets is a bit of a pain on the unit after they updated it but it's only a minor complaint. I love the idea of putting audio through that lovely filter but in my experience its a bit of a pain having to fire MIDI at it to keep the gate open. This should be simple really.

It sounds great and that's really the main thing right? It's small and travels well. It's well built and looks like it's as tough as it sounds. It's got the low end goods.

If you're looking for a sweet sounding synth, get yourself a microkorg. If you're looking to be bass raped by a gang of low frequencies get a Minitaur. Sound
