The Absolute Authority in Low End

Are you looking for a synthesizer that does one thing—bass—and does it better than almost anything else on the market? Tired of thin, digital-sounding basslines that lack weight, punch, and soul? The Moog Minitaur is the perfect choice! Meticulously created to be the definitive modern analog bass pedal, this powerhouse delivers the iconic, earth-shaking rumble that made the legendary Taurus pedals a staple of professional stages and studios for decades.

The Right Amount of Power and Design

Designed for the bassist, the producer, and the sound designer, the Minitaur features a 100% analog signal path that is aggressive, gritty, and warm. Its high-impact design is compact, style-driven, and built like a tank. With its classic knob-per-function layout, you can quickly carve out sub-bass frequencies, aggressive filter sweeps, and growling resonance without ever having to dive into a menu. It’s the ultimate solution for anyone who needs to anchor their tracks with professional-grade analog power.

Perfect Connections and Studio Integration

The Minitaur offers the ultimate solution for "out-of-the-box" integration. While it performs flawlessly as a standalone instrument, its deep MIDI implementation allows you to control virtually every parameter of the synth via your favorite DAW. You can automate filter cutoffs, modulate envelopes, or save your patches to the unit's internal memory for instant recall during a live set. With its 1/4-inch audio input, you can even route other instruments—like your electric bass or guitar—through the Minitaur’s legendary Moog Ladder Filter to add massive analog depth.

Total Authority Over Your Sound

Features that keep your performance fluid are built directly into the chassis. The Minitaur’s two oscillators provide that thick, rich "Moog sound," while the dedicated ADSR envelope generators allow you to sculpt your sounds from short, percussive plucks to long, evolving drones. Whether you’re tracking a massive EDM bassline, laying down deep hip-hop subs, or adding texture to a film score, the Minitaur gives you absolute command over the bottom end of your frequency spectrum.
