Don't be fooled by it's size. The Moog Minitaur delivers all the growl, snarl and low end associated with the Taurus family of Bass Synthesizers in a rugged performance package that is small enough to take with you anywhere.

• VCO2 Frequency – Sets the frequency offset of VCO2 from VCO1 from -1 Octave to +1 Octave. Center is unison with VCO1.
• Oscillator 1 & 2 Saw/Square Waveform Selector – Selects a Sawtooth wave (LED OFF) or Square wave (LED ON) Signal for VCO1 and 2. 
• VCO1 Level – Sets the level of VCO1
• VCO2 Level – Sets the level of VCO2
• VCF Cutoff – Sets the Cutoff Frequency of the 4-pole Moog Lowpass VCF from 20Hz to 20KHz
• VCF Resonance – This sets the gain for the amount of signal from the output of the VCF fed back to the input of the VCF. This creates a peak in Frequency response at the Cutoff Frequency that can be increased all the way to self-oscillation.
• VCF EG Amount – Bi-polar control sets the (+) or (-) Amount of Envelope Generator modulation of the VCF. Center is no Envelope Generator modulation.
• LFO Rate – Sets the frequency of the LFO. Range is from 0.01Hz to 100Hz
• LFO VCO Amount – Sets the Amount that the LFO modulates the VCO
• LFO VCF Amount – Sets the Amount that the LFO modulates VCF
• VCA EG Attack – Sets the attack Time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds.
• VCA EG Decay/Release – Sets both the decay time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch.
• VCA EG Sustain – Sets the sustain level of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA.
• VCF EG Attack – Sets the attack Time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds.
• VCF EG Decay/Release – Sets both the decay Time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch.
• VCF EG Sustain – Sets the sustain level of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF.
• Release On/Off Switch – Enables (LED On_ or Disables (LED Off) the Release segments of both Envelope Generators.
• Glide On/Off Switch – Enables/ Disables the Glide function
• Glide – Sets the rate of Glide when the note controlling the MINITAUR changes.
• Volume – The Master Volume of the MINITAUR’s synth Engine.
• Fine Tune – Adjusts the frequency of the VCOs +/- 1 semitone.
• MIDI Indicator LED – Indicates incoming MIDI activity
• LFO Rate Indicator LED – Indicates the rate of the LFO.

• Audio Out – 1/4" Unbalanced jack.
• Headphones -- Jack for stereo headphone output.
• Audio In – 1/4" Unbalanced jack accepts  line-level input.
• Analog CV Inputs:
• Pitch CV – 1/4" TRS Jack accepts 0 to +5V signal (internally processed for 1 V/Octave) via passive Expression Pedals or CVs.
• Filter CV – 1/4" TRS Jack accepts 0 to +5Vsignal via passive Expression Pedals or CVs.
• Volume CV – 1/4" TRS Jack accepts 0 to +5Vsignal via passive Expression Pedals or CVs.
• Gate – 1/4" Jack accepts a 0 (Off)/ +5V(On) Gate signal to trigger the unit’s EGs.

• MIDI (DIN) – Standard DIN MIDI input for MIDI Control of the MINITAUR
• MIDI (USB) – Type B USB connector for connecting MINITAUR to host for USB MIDI.
