STANDALONE OPERATION:
The Standalone Editor is useful for creating sounds on your Minitaur, sharing presets with others, or managing
your preset library without running a host DAW.
DAW INTEGRATION:
Launch your DAW application.
Create an audio, instrument, or aux track and instantiate the Minitaur Editor. MIDI IN and OUT must be selected
from the PREFS tab in the Minitaur plugin. Automation, control change messages, and system exclusive (SYS
EX) information for the Minitaur can be fully embedded and recalled within a track. This allows for extremely
expressive sound design and parameter manipulation that would be impossible to perform using simply two
hands.
The Moog Minitaur Editor can be run as either a traditional effect plugin, or as a Virtual Instrument (VI) plugin.
Generally, it is easier to run the editor as an effect plugin, occupying and affecting the same track as the exter-
nal instrument device. In other cases, you may wish to run the Minitaur Editor as a virtual instrument, occupy-
ing its own individual track. Some DAWs allow the Editor and MIDI data to exist on the same track, others
require them to be on separate tracks. Please refer to your DAW’s manual for more information.
Note to Windows Users: The Minitaur Editor requires bi-directional MIDI communication with the Minitaur via
the Minitaur's USB MIDI connection. However, the two programs (The DAW and the Editor) cannot access the
same MIDI device through the same ports at the same time. If your DAW has already connected to the Mini-
taur's USB MIDI ports, then these ports will be unavailable to the editor. Make sure your DAW is NOT using the
same MIDI USB ports as the Minitaur Editor plugin. First, confirm that the Moog Minitaur USB MIDI is not select-
ed in the DAW’s MIDI setup. Then launch the VST Editor plugin, go to its settings page, and select Moog Mini-
taur as both the MIDI Input and MIDI output. To send MIDI directly from the DAW to the Minitaur, you can also
use a separate MIDI output device connected to the Minitaur’s MIDI input with a traditional MIDI DIN cable.
