VCA
The Voltage Controlled Amplifier allows the audio level of Minitaur to be controlled from different modulation
sources. In addition to the VCA Envelope Generator, MIDI Note Velocity can affect the VCA level.

VCA PARAMETERS:
VEL SENS
The Velocity Sensitivity (VEL SENS)
knob controls how much the VCA level
will be affected by the velocity at which
the keys are played
KB RESPONSE
As a monophonic instrument, the Minitaur can only express one note at a time. By adjusting the Keyboard
Response, the Minitaur can create expressive trills, plus respond to different playing techniques and styles.
KEY PRIORITY:
LOW NOTE
The Lowest note played takes priori-
ty over all other notes.
HIGH NOTE
The Highest note played takes prior-
ity over all other notes.
LAST NOTE
The most recent note played takes
priority over all other notes.
PITCH BEND
While many MIDI controllers are equipped with Pitch Bend Wheels, there is no set amount of bend that any wheel
can provide. The Minitaur allows a maximum pitch change range to be set for both the Up and Down directions of
the Pitch Bend Wheel.
UNDER THE HOOD
PITCH BEND PARAMETERS:
UP RANGE
Sets the maximum value (in half-steps)
for Pitch Bend in the Up direction.
DOWN RANGE
Sets the maximum value (in half-steps)
for Pitch Bend in the Down direction.
