Please download and install minitaur firmware v2.1.19.

There was a major change in code made to the LFO section in this version, so it’s mostly important to make sure no modulation related function has been broken during this change. VCO2 ONLY functionality is back in this version. Many fixes are made for MIDI SYNC so it should work perfectly now. Please check it thoroughly and let us know how it works for you.

Editor is unchanged, and is still 3.2.0RC1, see:

Thanks for your cooperation !

Updating the Firmware:

  1. Enter bootloader mode: Press and hold VCO1 Wave and VCO2 Wave switches, and while keeping them both pushed plug the power cord into your Minitaur unit. Keep holding the two switches and press the Release switch, then release all switches. You should see the Glide switch LED blinking slowly, which indicates that your Minitaur is now in bootloader mode.
  2. Connect your Minitaur to your computer using a USB cable. Please connect it directly and not using any hub. If Windows starts an automatic driver search, let it install the default drivers.
  3. Load the C6 sysex program and configure C6 midi ports so they point to Minitaur In/Out (“CONFIG”)
  4. Load the ‘Erase Firmware’ file provided in the firmware zip, into the C6 program (“LOAD”)
  5. Click SEND. VCO1 Wave switch LED should blink as the old firmware is being erased. Once completed, VCO1 Wave LED should go dark and Glide LED should keep on blinking slowly.
  6. Load the firmware sysex file into the C6 program and send it to the Minitaur (“SEND”). As the syx file is being transferred, you should be able to see the Midi LED blinking rapidly, and VCO2 Wave LED blinking slowly. Once the firmware update is completed, the Minitaur should reboot automatically. Your Minitaur is now updated with the new firmware.
  7. Run the Minitaur Editor and check for the firmware version by clicking on “Settings”. It should say 2.1.19. If it says anything other than 2.1.19, it means that the beta firmware has not been updated successfully, and you should repeat the process again from the first step.
  8. Restore settings to defaults by clicking on “Restore Default Global Settings” on the Editor’s Settings page.

The entire Sync section has been recoded by Amos, should keep perfect sync and LFO waveshape starting point should always be aligned with the DAW’s beat… Turning MIDI SYNC on and off while playing should switch between the different rates, based on the Division value, and should basically work the same way as Sub 37.
