You could get something like a Morningstar MC6 and use it to scroll presets; you can set it to display the current patch number. You could also use MIDI CCs programmed to the other hardware buttons and/or expression pedal to gain easy access to the Minitaur’s under-the-hood features without having t...

There is another mode (wrap off) where it’ll just play the highest note in its range once you stray out of it. Still, an option for complete silence would’ve been useful.

Couldn’t you also use source “pressure” and destination “filter”?

I would guess shipping too. I sent my Subsequent in to get the oscillator outputs balances and it came back with the box all bashed up and loose knobs. Sent it back again and it came back with one pot not working at all. Sent it back a third time making sure to reinforce all the packaging (internal ...

I’m also interested to hear if there are differences in the bass registers.

Maybe use one mod buss as follows: Source: constant on Destination: VCA Set a positive amount on the Mod 1 amount knob (programmable destination). Then in the controllers menu for that buss, set breath control to 100% You’ll probably need to set a relatively low sustain level on the amp envelope too...

Have you been in touch with Will Gregory? If not, I strongly urge that you do so. His group does live performances of the Bach material all on synths.

How easy or difficult would it be to mod the Model D with the pitch wheel from the Grandmother (which is sprung)?

Are both units using the same MIDI channel? That could be a possible cause.

I’ve noticed that the output of my sub oscillator is lower than the equivalent square waves on oscillators 1 and 2. 10 on the sub oscillator is about the same level as 7 on the main oscillators; is this normal or should they all be capable of the same output?

Frequency modulation (FM) I’m not sure I understand this parameter in an analogue synth. To me it’s about running another high frequency against your other oscillators. Which creates strobing audio effects like ring mod and cross mod. But on the other hand I know that DX7 were “fm” synths with “ope...

I’d like to see the option to have the octave transpose buttons be either instantaneous (as they currently are) or to only transpose upon playing the next note (or releasing the previous note).

I’d like to see the option of having multiple FM paths be simultaneously active. The button control for engaging more than one path could be implemented in the same as selecting multiple synths - by holding down the first button and pressing the other(s) that one wants to engage.

They are responding really quickly via their live chat on the website. It even shows when someone is waiting ready to answer questions.

I’m still hopeful of a firmware update. I sent some bug reports to Amos a couple of months ago and got a reply to the effect that there would be one.
