Moog Taurus Bass Synth Pedal

Moog is one of the companies that always gets a lot of buzz in their upcoming releases, either it’s considering they have a lot of fans or considering they release a low number of products per year the truth is that their next release, the Moog Taurus Bass Synth Pedal, a reissue of a pedal manufactured by Moog until 1983 (the second version) has some folks waiting for it. For those who don’t know that is an analog bass synth pedal keyboard where you control the synth sounds with the 13 keys (or 18 in the second version) using your foots, that reissue will be based on the original Taurus model specifications and sound.

The features of that new Moog Taurus Bass Synth Pedal are 13 keys (one and a half octaves), 100% analog sound engine, 2 VCO oscillators, ADS contour generator, 1 VCF filter, arpeggiator, 16 sound

banks (with 4 presets per bank) of programmable bass tones, original Taurus I sounds in bank 0, MIDI (DIN and USB) connections, VCA output and volume, filter, pitch and gate controls.

Although that is only a preliminary list of features (and we even don’t know whether the device will be produced) we already know that the shipping term will be towards the end of that month and that there will be an special offer for the first 250 orders (or the offer ends in February 15th whether there haven’t been 250 orders yet) that will be able to buy the Moog Taurus Bass Synth Pedal for $1,695 (making a deposit of $500), all other orders will be at $1,995. By the way, there will be only 100 units produced of that device.
