Moog Taurus III vs. Moog Minitaur --- is there a difference?

"There's a lack of good demos on the Moog Taurus 3 pedals, so here we go!
This one goes through the sounds to hear what its presets are, and then I spend just a few minutes programming the sounds. You can really hear the growl of the unique filter and the subharmonics it generates.
THEN
I take a look at an affordable alternative, the Moog Minitaur. Mostly, I program it live, talk a little bit about it and how great it is, especially for such a small form factor and price point.
Spoiler: It's so close in architecture and in sound that I think it's a reasonable replacement for the Taurus. Take a look at the all in one Minitaur demo I did over 10 years ago."

"first day with the minitaur. loving it so far. very very raw and dirty. i havent yet compared it to my midimoog, but will soon.

This video is intended to show what it can do and the sounds its capable of. Realtime knob tweaking on some sounds, others are static and multitracked. I feel that gear specific demos that include other instruments, effects, or mastering and sweetening (eq, compression, reverb) don't allow people to REALLY hear what the instrument is doing. And this goes especially for people who insist on using the camera mic instead of simply recording the output into their computer.

So with that in mind, this is a multitracked thing done as fast as possible. Tracks are playing out of Cakewalk Sonar X1d, and minitaur is going straight into Speck Xtramix CXi, into RME Fireface 800@44.1/24 bit, encoded at H.264 with 384k audio.
then of course into YouTubes compression engine.

Hopefully as little as possible has been added or taken away."
