From Musicradar.com:


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

Sounds like quite a boost from Moog.

Makes that synth very appealing.

Yes, these additions are very welcome indeed. Having sample and hold as a waveform type for the LFO is fantastic. Being able to modulate the pitch of only VCO2 via LFO can really fatten up a sound.

I'll have to experiment once I update my Minitaur, but I read that having Filter EG as a mod source should allow for some analog percussive synthesis, as well as some of the more esoteric types of sound creation.

Now if only Moog would un-cap the note cutoff so that the full MIDI note range were playable... one can dream....

Minitaur was a great little box before but with every update it just gets better and better! I love mine!
