So just started to discover minitaur world.
Can anybody confirm that it is safe to try CV modulation with MP201 pedal? Amos?
anything i have to be careful before starting? just don't want to damage minitaur
since it seems the firmware&hardware integration sounds like not concrete yet.

You can use the MP-201 and the Minitaur together safely :)

I have come up with a number of easy to implement features for the Minitaur. I guess should post them if I want them done at some point, and anything old school ;)
Hi Portamental; I'm back. I am ready to implement any features you'd like to specify.
I've already done a few things... (per http://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19893)

It's not just safe, it's a-w-e-s-o-m-e.

Use one channel of MP-201 to kick a gate sync'd to Midi clock
Use another for Sample and Hold driving Filter cutoff
Use a third for a CV mapped parameter of your choice from LFO via mapped Vol CV input
Finally, use expression pedal for realtime control

I sold my Multipedal; miss it but wasn't giving it the time it deserved because I have too much other crap to play with :?

Hey I am back too... so busy this year marketing my new products...

Anyway.... here's my suggestion for implementing the much awaited legato-muti-trigger from the panel.

Legato/Multi-trigger from panel

Requirements :

- Must be able to set on the fly

- Must do it in a way not to mess up with the current panel settings, the less as possible anyway.


My suggestion :

The way it is now : the glide light toggles on : button press-down.


I suggest toggling the Glide only when the button is released.

If the button is pressed and held down and Glide knob is twisted slightly, you don't want to toggle glide ... it is a multi-trigger toggle command. When the button is released no action is taken on glide light or glide rate .

This is very convenient I think, it can be accomplished very very fast with thumb and index. With the glide button held down, just a slight back and forth twist will result in next to no change in glide rate setting when compared to internal value. (Glide is essential on a synth, yet not used all that often anyway).

If the Glide button is pressed and released without knob twist in between, then it is a glide toggle command that takes effect when the button is released.
