A few things worth mentioning:

There are a few functions of the Minitaur that don't have an associated CC or sysex command, so there are a couple of things I really would have liked to include, but are impossible (unless Moog address it in a firmware upgrade)

-No independent control for release time, (which is possible from the Minitaur panel with Rev 2 software update, but does not have an associated CC#)
-No ability to route external CC control to various parameters, which is only possible from the software editor.
-No scrolling through presets (Minitaur does not respond to standard Program Change messages, which is a bummer)

However there are some cool 'under-the-hood' features accessible through the template

-Legato modes - Linear constant time and exponential are two cool flavours of glide
-Tweaking the range of pitch bend (up & down) - up to 2 octaves!
-Added a Mod wheel & pitch bend to the template itself, (filling up otherwise empty space)
-Key tracking of the filter up to 200%
-Osc2 Beat - This is sweet! You can dial in fine amounts of detuning
-Note Sync - retrigger oscs on each note for consistant punch
-Control of the volume of external audio
-Ability to set Amp & Filter velocity sensitivity
