Analogue bass synth has a few more tricks up its sleeve

Moog Music Inc has released the version 2.2 firmware update for the Minitaur bass synth and 3.2 update for the editor, with both being available for free.

It’s been a while since the last update to the Minitaur, so users will be keen to know what’s on offer in the latest update. Version 2.2.0 adds six different modulation sources: Triangle, Square, Ramp, Saw, Sample & Hold and Filter EG. 

Oscillator hard sync is also available, enabling you to create entirely new sounds with the Minitaur. You also have the option of modulating oscillator 2 only with the hard sync function engaged.

Version 3.2 of the editor/librarian adds full Windows support, plus support for all of the new firmware features. 

For more information on the free updates and download links, check out the Moog website.

Full list of updates v2.2.0

  • Added RPN 2 Coarse Tuning support (-64 to +63 semitones)
  • Added LFO modes: Square, Ramp, Saw, Sample/Hold, Filter EG
  • Added VCO2 Hard Sync
  • Added "VCO 2 Only" option for LFO-to-VCO pitch modulation

Video Producer & Reviews Editor

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
