Holy God, Minitaur has balls for days.

Post by namahshaman » Mon Jul 28, 2014 9:45 am

I've had mine for awhile now, but I finally pushed it hard on a big PA . . . Sweet Jesus. I know we all think it's clever and cute that this little unit comes with a warning and ear plugs, haha, but there's definitely some truth to it.

In my twenties I worked for a demolition crew, we tore down dilapidated and condemned houses/building. I really believe that with the right speakers, we could play Moog bass and rattle them to rubble. Of course, we'd have to consider the collateral damage. How many innocent windows would be destroyed? haha. It would be a fun experiment either way.

Ha!! Awesome! I'll be putting mine through a PA soon. I can't wait for the sonic craziness.

If you've got a FreqBox, run the OSC out to the Minitaur Filter CV and tweak the filter cut off and the resonance. I was getting some intense formant type sounds last night. I'll be recording them today.

These are great stories.
I've long been a fan of Genesis, Yes and Rush and have always loved the live feeling of your ribs vibrating in your chest with the power of the Taurus pedals through the PA.
Now I have my own Minitaur and Roland PK pedals to shake the foundations of my house!
Great fun!

Actually you need to feed a Minitaur or the Taurus3 through a 18" subwoofer for full sonic fun.
I bought such an subwoofer when I received my Taurus3. And also the Minitaur is shaking the walls here.
keep on turning these Moog knobs

Sequence:
Prodigy * minimoog '79 * Voyager * MF102 * MF103 * MF104z * MP201 * Taurus 3 * Minitaur * Sub Phatty * MF105 * Minimoog 2017+ MUSE * One 16

Moog Music had a KRK subwoofer when we were testing the Taurus 3. Despite being two rooms away, the folks on the production floor could feel the bass radiating from the T3.
