Hello beta group,
Please see firmware 2.2.0RC11 and Editor 3.2.0RC8 release candidates.
Changes in this versions:
- GET pop up is replaced with an internal GUI message, to prevent to occurrence of multiple pop up loading at the same time
- VCO2ONLY should be working as expected
- Midi Sync/LFO area should work perfectly. Please verify.
- Sorting/scrolling/listing behavior has been improved
- Rightclicking for selecting/deselecting items should not load the rightclick menu anymore
- Top lists should be in perfect sync with the active library
- Possible stuck notes in Logic (and probably in other DAWs) should not happen anymore, please verify.
- GET is requested whenever the list doesn’t match what’s on the hardware
- CV Mapping functionality is back
- Restore Globals should work correctly
- Navgation issues in Logic, fixed
- Presets may revert to original or sound may change when saving in Ableton, fixed
We still have to fix a nasty crash on Windows 32bit which happens once completing GET, so please expect (yet) another version soon…
Meanwhile, please install and use extensively, and let us know of any issues you may come across.
Thanks for your cooperation!
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT link this version to anyone outside this beta forum and group. It is still confidential and may result in different firmware versions carrying the number of 2.2.0 to coexist on-line. We will release it officially once approved.

- Version number will read 2.2.0, with no RC suffix.
Windows Drivers (unchanged):
Driver v3.30.0 (Windows 7 and up): http://www.moogconnect.net/downloads/minitaur/Moog_Minitaur_USB_DriverSetup_v3.30.0.zip
Driver v2.23.0 (Vista or XP): http://www.moogconnect.net/downloads/minitaur/Moog_Minitaur_USB_DriverSetup_v2.23.0.zip
- The driver allows DAWs to use Minitaur’s Midi ports and an Editor plug-in at the same time.
NOTES:
- Drivers haven’t been changed since the last version, so no need to reinstall if already present.
- Users must first update the Minitaur firmware, and only then install the driver.
- With the new dedicated driver for the Sub Phatty, there is no need anymore for the generic moog USB driver and it should be removed. Uninstall any existing generic moog USB driver from “Programs and Features” (Control Panel) and manually delete the files “moogusbmidi_x64.sys” and “moogusbmidiks_x64.sys” in “Windows\system32\drivers”, before continuing.
- No driver is needed on OSX.
Updating the Firmware:
- 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.
- 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.
- Run the updater and follow the instructions
- Once completed, run the Editor and check for the firmware version by clicking on “Settings”. Verify is says “2.2.0”.
Installing the driver (Windows only):
- Power off your Minitaur and disconnect its USB cable.
- If you haven’t done so already, uninstall any existing generic moog USB driver from “Programs and Features” (Control Panel), and manually delete the files “moogusbmidi_x64.sys” and “moogusbmidiks_x64.sys” from Windows\system32\drivers.
- If case you are also using a Sub Phatty, install its new dedicated driver, posted here:
http://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=25828
Same goes for Sub 37. Use the production driver provided with the Editor 1.0.0 / Firmware 1.2.0 release package. - Restart your computer.
- Power the Minitaur On, connect the USB cable and let Windows auto-detect and install the default Minitaur driver. This may take a few minutes so please be patient.
- Once detected, install the new Minitaur driver. The installer should load two popup messages, asking to confirm the new driver. Mark the checkboxes and let it complete. If asked by the installer to disconnect and reconnect the cable, please do so.
- Restart your computer.
- Check your Device Manager settings. There should be a separate entry for MTR, SPH and S37 (in case they are present is your system). The entries should appear under the root, with no exclamation mark placed on them.
- Open the Editor, click the Setting button and select “moog Minitaur In/Out” from the Midi Input and Output menus. To sync all preset, click the GET button.
