Cool. I'll continue to unplug mine.

I'm curious why they didn't put a power switch on it.

Do you power up your whole equipment a the same moment by a power strip? I noticed, that some modern digital synths are sending out crappy MIDI data while booting. And this crappy data is sometimes confusing other connected MIDI ins. Try again, but now plug in the power of the Minitaur a few second...

Thank you for the clarification Till. I'm used to "powering up" meaning turning something on with a power switch, not plugging it in. Saying "plug the power adapter in while holding..." would probably have helped me, but I guess no one else had a problem with the language. I'll t...

Similar problem here. Mine is always connnected to my CPU via USB. I'll try without the USB connection to see if it makes a difference. Not only will mine stop responding to the knobs, but it also loses the ability to play all but one note no matter which key I press on my controller. Disconnecting ...

Idiot #2 here. I believe I'm following the instructions, but I'm not able to get the lights to flash as described. - Power up the Minitaur while holding down the VCO 1 and 2 Waveform switches, - Keep them pressed down and press the Release switch. - Now you can release the VCO1 and 2 waveform switch...

Almost every time I start my rig up, the Minitaur is only able to play a single, higher frequency note no matter what key I press on my controller. It's only after fiddling with all the knobs & unplugging the unit(why no power switch on this thing) several times am I able to play the instrument ...

How do I control the Minitaur with my MIDI controller through my MIDI interface? I can't connect the virtual output of my MOTU Express XT to the virtual input of the Minitaur in the Audio MIDI Set Up (AMS) and thus can't control the Minitaur with my controller. The Express XT shows up in the Under t...

What's happenin' all?

Just got the Minitaur, my first synth.


And I got a Griffin stand to hold my PX-7. Too much crap on my desk.

Sorry to change the topic for a second, but this is the 2nd time I've seen someone say something about turning the Minitaur on/off. How are you all doing so?

The problems mentioned in this thread seem to be closest to mine, so a few questions... -I will just download the firmware update posted in this thread when I get home, but are firmware updates usually available under: Support/Downloads? I didn't see any Minitaur firmware updates listed there. -Is t...
