Moog Music has announced the release of Revolution 2 for its Minitaur compact analog bass synthesizer.

Moog Minitaur

Minitaur is a compact and powerful analog bass synthesizer that features a classic one knob per function design. It was recently nominated for a 2013 TEC Award in the ‘Musical Instrument (Hardware)’ category.

REV 2, which is a free update for Minitaur owners, unlocks a host of new performance features (watch the video here) and implements a number of user requested updates to Minitaur and the free Minitaur Editor/Librarian.

Among these updated features, Minitaur REV 2 owners can now create up to 100 presets and store them directly within their Minitaur, gain independent control of Decay and Release times from Minitaur’s front panel, and access tons of new CV routing and control features.

New in Minitaur Rev 2

  • Store 100 presets to Minitaur’s internal memory.
  • A new Decay/Release mode allows for independent control of Decay and Release times from Minitaur’s front panel.
  • Pitch, Volume and Gate Controller inputs can be re-mapped to other control parameters.
  • Minitaur can now act as a CV to MIDI converter.

The Minitaur is available to purchase for $679 USD. The Rev 2 firmware update is available to download to all registered Minitaur users.
