The Moog Minitaur has a 100% analog audio path and a one knob per function design for real-time tweakability including 2 Taurus VCOs with a choice of Saw Tooth or Square waves, 2 mixer VCAs, 2 Minimoog style ADSR envelope and 1 VCF with ladder filter and VC Resonance and one VCA. In addition, the Minitaur possesses several new features such as an external audio input to expand on the sound design and synthesis possibilities.
