LAYOUT: Moog Minitaur Bass Deskby admin

Question

Silver

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Moog
Summary: A spacious iPad companion for Moog’s compact bass synth. Keep performance controls close while pairing oscillator, envelope and modulation pages to suit the way you build a sound.

---

Small box. Serious low end.

Two oscillators and a classic Moog ladder filter give Minitaur its unmistakable bass voice. Bass Desk gives that compact synth room to breathe on your iPad.

Keep the big cutoff control under your fingers while you shape envelopes, or pair oscillator tuning with modulation. Five independently selectable pages let you mix and match sound sources, contours, motion and session controls. Named choices make the hidden settings easier to explore.

Connect over USB MIDI or a MIDI interface. Use MIDI channel 1, turn the Minitaur MIDI CC filter off, and use envelope Mode 1. Play notes from your keyboard or sequencer; this layout has no keyboard. It does not fetch patches or synchronize presets.

We created this layout directly from the MIDI specification. It has been checked in MIDI Designer, but not tested on a physical Minitaur. Own one? We would love your feedback on the controls, sound shaping and page organization.
