■仕様
[フロントパネル]
・VCO2 Frequency - Sets the frequency offset of VCO2 from VCO1 from -1 Octave to +1 Octave. Center is unison with VCO1.
・Oscillator 1 & 2 Saw/Square Waveform Selector - Selects a Sawtooth wave (LED OFF) or Square wave (LED ON) Signal for VCO1 and 2.
・VCO1 Level - Sets the level of VCO1
・VCO2 Level - Sets the level of VCO2
・VCF Cutoff - Sets the Cutoff Frequency of the 4-pole Moog Lowpass VCF from 20Hz to 20KHz
・VCF Resonance - This sets the gain for the amount of signal from the output of the VCF fed back to the input of the VCF. This creates a peak in Frequency response at the Cutoff Frequency that can be increased all the way to self-oscillation.
・VCF EG Amount - Bi-polar control sets the (+) or (-) Amount of Envelope Generator modulation of the VCF. Center is no Envelope Generator modulation.
・LFO Rate - Sets the frequency of the LFO. Range is from 0.01Hz to 100Hz
・LFO VCO Amount - Sets the Amount that the LFO modulates the VCO
・LFO VCF Amount - Sets the Amount that the LFO modulates VCF
・VCA EG Attack - Sets the attack Time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds.
・VCA EG Decay/Release - Sets both the decay time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch.
・VCA EG Sustain - Sets the sustain level of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA.
・VCF EG Attack - Sets the attack Time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds.
・VCF EG Decay/Release - Sets both the decay Time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch.
・VCF EG Sustain - Sets the sustain level of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF.
・Release On/Off Switch - Enables (LED On_ or Disables (LED Off) the Release segments of both Envelope Generators.
・Glide On/Off Switch - Enables/ Disables the Glide function
・Glide - Sets the rate of Glide when the note controlling the MINITAUR changes.
・Volume - The Master Volume of the MINITAUR’s synth Engine.
・Fine Tune - Adjusts the frequency of the VCOs +/- 1 semitone.
・MIDI Indicator LED - Indicates incoming MIDI activity
・LFO Rate Indicator LED - Indicates the rate of the LFO.

・Audio Out - 1/4″ Unbalanced jack.
・Headphones - Jack for stereo headphone output.
・Audio In - 1/4″ Unbalanced jack accepts line-level input.
Analog CV Inputs:
・Pitch CV - 1/4″ TRS Jack accepts 0 to +5V signal (internally processed for 1 V/Octave) via passive Expression Pedals or CVs.
・Filter CV - 1/4″ TRS Jack accepts 0 to +5Vsignal via passive Expression Pedals or CVs.
・Volume CV - 1/4″ TRS Jack accepts 0 to +5Vsignal via passive Expression Pedals or CVs.
・Gate - 1/4″ Jack accepts a 0 (Off)/ +5V(On) Gate signal to trigger the unit’s EGs.
MIDI:
・MIDI (DIN) - Standard DIN MIDI input for MIDI Control of the MINITAUR
・MIDI (USB) - Type B USB connector for connecting MINITAUR to host for USB MIDI.
