MOOG MUSIC Minitaur

Moog Music bass synth presents Minitaur™, the latest addition to Moog's Taurus Bass Synthesizer family. Minitaur is a powerful and compact analog bass synth with the classic “one knob per function” synthesizer structure. This is the first instrument in the Taurus family that does not include a foot pedal and, thanks to its extremely small and compact dimensions (about 21 x 13 cm and just over 1 kg in weight), it integrates perfectly into the most classic and current setups for musical production. The Minitaur marks a new chapter in the history of the Taurus family, introducing important innovations mainly related to the form, the control interface and an unprecedented level of accessibility. The historic Taurus Bass Pedals introduced 40 years ago have had an extraordinary impact on the music of recent decades. Rush, Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Asia, Jean Michel Jarre, Dave Matthews Band, are just some of the big names that have contributed to the legend of this instrument. Now some of these great artists, including Geddy Lee from Rush, have made an active contribution to the creation of Minitaur, with technical and practical advice that led to the final realization of the project. Bob Moog has always been in the habit of comparing his ideas, sounds and instruments with musicians and colleagues. Following this tradition, Minitaur was presented during the test phase to a vast number of artists and producers (in particular, in addition to Geddy Lee, the 'techno legend', Derrick May, Holy F*ck and producer Nick Raskulinecz) and each of them was able to give their input to the development of the production process. It is essential to reaffirm the enthusiasm that these important names have had in helping to create an instrument that they themselves will use: the starting point of a new generation in the Taurus Bass Synthesizer line.
