I was about to buy a set of MIDI bass pedals...but not now.

...not if I can get MIDI pedals with Taurus-1 guts included.



I hope they have something, even a mockup, for me to oggle at NAMM come January.

What no pictures to look at? Demo sounds nice.

Should have deleted the other thread man.

[shakey_hands]

yeah some pics of the pedals would of been nice. i like pics to look at. your profile pic for example...

[nadafarms]

why not build a little phatty version with the sound engine of this taurus 1, maybe it would sound better than a little phatty???

Playing floor units just ain't for me, but I would love to have a modern moog that sounded closer to a vintage taurus 1.

I think it's interesting that Moog seems to be focusing on reproducing the originals of its glory days -- with MIDI. If this is a trend, or corporate strategy, it could be both a good thing and a bad thing.

this is cool

pics?

also i'm surprised the sound demos don't have them doing the famous tom sawyer filter sweep

just sayin

If we should decide not to pursue the development, we will return the $500 deposit to you.

There's nothing to show yet. However, a computer rendering would be nice.

Wow, that's wicked sweet. Taurus with MIDI and memory, sounds like a winner. I wonder if old Taurus will drop in value? Maybe they'll bring back the MemoryMoog while they're at it... =P~

Doubt it would bring the original prices down. It might.. but I look at it like this: did the Voyager and OS prices make the Model D drop? I haven't noticed it, the prices still seem to be going up. A modern MemoryMoog would be very nice. It would probably be insanely expensive though. More than a new Andromeda I bet.

I am excited about the new Taurus despite knowing that I most likely wouldn't buy it. It's nice to have newer models released so people have alternatives to the aging equipment. Sound differences aside, it's the best thing. I love the Taurus when used on Jarre's Concerts in China. Such a wonderful sound. The new one still has that character and sound from what I can tell.

Looks like they don't exist yet. From the web page:

Just quietly, the original Taurus had memory too.

Where is my Liberation reissue????

It did? Learn something new everyday I suppose.

That's true I suppose. Then again I can't afford any of this so I'm not effected either way.

Holy c**p the bull is back!

I was hoping for the classic Taurus sound too, but the demos didn't get me all that excited, I'll wair for some high quality audios for further opinions.
