Windows Drivers Download (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:
- Driver and firmware weren’t changed since the last version/s, so no need to reinstall if already installed.
- 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.
- Load the C6 sysex program and configure C6 midi ports so they point to Minitaur In/Out (“CONFIG”)
- Load the ‘Erase Firmware’ file provided in the firmware zip, into the C6 program (“LOAD”)
- 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.
- 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.
- Run the Minitaur Editor and check for the firmware version by clicking on “Settings”. It should say 2.1.14. If it says anything other than 2.1.14, it means that the beta firmware has not been updated successfully, and you should repeat the process again from the first step.
- Restore settings to defaults by clicking on “Restore Default Global Settings” on the Editor’s Settings page.
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.
Thanks for your cooperation !
