What is BullitoHonkey?
BullitoHonkey is a patch editor, librarian, and live performance tool for the Moog Minitaur™ analog bass synthesizer. The design of the user interface is optimized for real-time parameter manipulation of the hardware synth using a touch screen, but works equally well using a standard keyboard and mouse.
BullitoHonkey uses MIDI control change messages to load patches and tweak parameters; it is not dependent on a certain firmware version or additional third-party MIDI drivers to function. As a result, BullitoHonkey will work with your properly-functioning Minitaur™ regardless of firmware version; if an early version of firmware does not recognize a given command, it is simply ignored without any side effect.
Using BullitoHonkey, the 100-patch limit of the hardware unit can be overcome - BullitoHonkey can manage a virtually unlimited number of patches. Also, by utilizing the advanced MIDI routing features, you can control your Minitaur™ over standard MIDI DIN cables without the need for the USB connection.
Features
- Works on Windows 7.x, 8.x, and 10 (32 or 64 bit, .NET Framework 4.7.2 or greater required).
- Very easy to use with a touch-screen monitor (but also works great with a keyboard and mouse).
- No additional MIDI drivers required - just plug your Minitaur™ into your computer's USB port and go!
- A virtual unlimited number of patches can be managed (limited only by disk space and available RAM).
- Built-in keyboard for auditioning patches in real time without having to save.
- Advanced MIDI routing - MIDI In, MIDI out, and MIDI program change can be configured to use any available MIDI port on the host PC.
- Optionally check for new version availability of BullitoHonkey with one click gesture (internet connection required).
- Optionally send error reports directly to the developer (licensed version only, internet connection required).
- Automatic patch backup (licensed version only).
- Patch management view is easy to see, even in dark stage lighting on a floor screen.
- Bidirectional response when using the USB MIDI port (changing a parameter in BullitoHonkey changes the corresponding parameter on the Minitaur™ in real time, and vice-versa).
- "Mini view" conserves screen real estate.
- Ability to launch an external program/preset combination with any given patch (e.g. load a VST host program with an associated preset file).
- Advanced logging can be activated to assist in troubleshooting (licensed version only).
What BullitoHonkey is Not
- BullitoHonkey is currently NOT a VST plugin and should not be considered as an alternative to the Moog Minitaur™ Editor/Librarian. BullitoHonkey was developed primarily as a real-time remote controller for live performance.
- BullitoHonkey currently can NOT upload/download patch banks to/from the Minitaur™ synth; however, individual patches can be manually saved to the hardware synth after being loaded in BullitoHonkey.
- BullitoHonkey will currently NOT run on a Mac.
