Great bass synth

Really, really great bass synthesizer with some very deep tones. The synth comes to life when you use the PC editor, but even without it you can create some amazing Moog bass tones. There is a reason why a lot of people consider Moog to be the gold standard.

Solid bass synth

My 1st Moog and not disappointed. Easy to use and great sound in a small footprint. Lovely Moog build quality too.

Simply amazing product!

Moog synths are - in my opinion - the best on the market, alongside some made by Korg. This particular synth is amazing for bases.

If your workflow requires a solid base like mine does, then I highly recommend the minitaur.

Small in Size. but a Beast in Sound

This was the first Moog product i bought ever - and as soon as i got it i knew i was hooked! Having used a Taurus in a studio before, i was hoping for something similar - well, i was wrong - to my ears (and to the Taurus owner) it's spot-on!

Pros: Moog quality, Taurus history - at an affordable price!

Cons: I do have to read the manual for some functions

Would recommend over the Sirin

Love the sound, but was expecting a bit more in terms of quality. The jacks at the rear of the unit are a bit wobbly. The potis feel very nice, but I am personally not a fan of having a lot of hidden functions. Fortunately, the Minitaur software is great, but then I end up spending more time on the screen rather then the unit, which is the opposite of what I wanted. Overall, I am happy with the purchase, but I have to admit that it feels more like a soundbox: it does a couple of things only, but it does them really well.

envelope is strange

like all moog synths the envelope is kind of strange.

you can get used to it just expect it to have a mind of it's own.

other then that, you get the moog sound, even if it is a bit harsh on the mids (i know it's supposed to be for bass) and highs, no where near a full moog but still the same flavour.

For bass, it can't be beat

While still a Moog, it has its own unique take on bass. Nothing cuts through like this one.

Extremely fast dispatch, secure packaging! A big plus is being kept in on the loop with friendly messages on the status of your order, customer service was great!
