However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
Product Ref: 23866
The Moog MINITAUR Analog Bass Synthesizer is equipped with two highly versatile Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) that serve as the main sound source. These oscillators generate electronic vibrations that can be tuned and amplified into audible sound. The MINITAUR's VCOs offer a wide musical range of 6 octaves, allowing for the creation of deep and powerful bass tones.
OSCILLATOR 1 (VCO 1) acts as the master oscillator to which OSCILLATOR 2 (VCO 2) is tuned. Each oscillator can be individually configured to produce either a Sawtooth or Square waveform using the intuitive waveform selection switches. Additionally, the FINE TUNE control enables precise adjustment of the overall tuning of both oscillators, ensuring maximum flexibility and accuracy in sound creation.
The frequencies of the MINITAUR's oscillators are affected by various sources, providing a wealth of creative possibilities. The primary source is the 'Note On' command received from an external MIDI controller or DAW, which translates into a Control Voltage to play the oscillators in an equal-tempered scale. Other control sources include the GLIDE circuit, VCO 2 FREQ, the PITCH CV INPUT, the FINE TUNE control, and the modulation (LFO) circuit. With such extensive control options, the MINITAUR allows for precise tonal shaping and manipulation.
The MINITAUR features a legendary Moog 24dB/Octave Low Pass Filter, known for its warm and rich character. With adjustable Resonance, this filter allows for precise control over the cutoff frequency, shaping the overall sound and adding depth to the bass tones. Whether you're after smooth and mellow basslines or aggressive and resonant sounds, the MINITAUR's filter provides the flexibility to achieve your desired tone.
To add further dynamics and expression to your sound, the MINITAUR is equipped with twin Minimoog style ADSR Envelope Generators (EGs). These envelope generators modulate both the Filter (VCF) and Amplifier (VCA), affecting the brightness and loudness of the synthesizer's sound. The DECAY knob controls the decay and release segments of the envelopes, while the RELEASE switch enables or disables the release segment. With the ability to shape the envelopes and control their length, you can create captivating and evolving sounds that suit your musical style.
Modulation is a crucial aspect of crafting musically-expressive sounds, and the MINITAUR's MODULATION section is designed to facilitate this creative process. The MIDI-syncable Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) offers adjustable RATE and AMOUNT controls for both the oscillators (VCO) and the filter (VCF). The LFO generates a signal that automatically modulates the pitch of the oscillators and the cutoff frequency of the filter, allowing you to simulate vibrato, create captivating filter sweeps, or generate unique synthesizer effects. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating dynamic and evolving bass sounds.
In terms of connectivity, the MINITAUR offers a range of options to suit your needs. It features a 1/8" stereo headphone output for private monitoring and a 1/4" unbalanced output for connecting to audio interfaces or amplifiers. The external audio input allows you to process external audio through the mixer and filter section of the MINITAUR, adding an extra layer of versatility to your sound.
Additionally, the MINITAUR provides analog control inputs for pitch, filter, volume, and gate, enabling seamless integration with other Moog products. The inclusion of DIN MIDI and USB MIDI ensures complete control over the MINITAUR's sound engine, allowing you to integrate it effortlessly into your studio setup or performances.
