Moog Music has announced a big update to their Minitaur Editor:
“The Minitaur Editor has been rebuilt from the ground up and is now available free to all registered Minitaur owners.
In addition to the new standalone editor – VST, AU, RTAS, and AAX plugin compatibility have been added for improved DAW integration. Every feature on and under the hood of your Minitaur can now be easily accessed, automated, and recalled from within your favorite DAW.”
The new firmware, version 2.1, also adds new features to Minitaur, including:
- Ability to save presets from the panel
- Polychain capability
- Support for custom tuning scales
- Change presets with program changes
- MIDI note transposition
- Load mod wheel position w/ preset
- Load volume knob position w/ preset
For additional information about the updated Minitaur Editor 3.0, or to download the new editor (Mac or Windows versions available), visit the Moog Music website.
Note: Moog Music says that the Minitaur Editor 3.0 requires the installation of firmware version 2.1 onto your Minitaur in order to function properly. If you own Minitaur serial number 6247 or below, you must install this included update. Back up your presets before installing the new firmware.
Sweet. Hopefully Moog will do the same to the Sub Phatty software.
Well it might not be the ideal way people want but now you can have a five voice polyphonic Moog for $2500 by polychaining five minitaurs.
Polychaining has been available for a long time on slim phatties and little phatties.
Strange that they would add polychaining to the minitaur though, as it’s oscillators only go up to middle C. Doesn’t seem very practical.
It goes higher than Middle C but yeah, pretty impractical for polyphony
And what about the editor for Taurus 3? Don’t Taurus owners deserve such treatment?
Yes I feel those of us who spent $2000 or more on our Taurus 3 deserve an editor…
Please please make one for sub phatty!
Where is the editor? It says: ““The Minitaur Editor has been rebuilt from the ground up and is now available free to all registered Minitaur owners.” But I can’t find it anywhere?
