"This Taurus 2 brain comes complete with the original leather style Moog logo bag, the original full printed manual, and a UK power supply.

Having the manual is invaluable since it includes all the connector details to slave up the Taurus to your analog controller keyboard, MIDI-to-CV convertor, analog modular system, computer via a USB to MIDI and MIDI to CV convertor, remote keyboard (such as the Moog Liberation if you have one) or anything else.

Having the leather style Moog logo bag is also invaluable since it makes you look cool as you arrive for your session or gig...

Here's a demo by my good friend Jorge Cortes showing all the possibilities of a Taurus 2 slaved to a MIDI keyboard and MIDI-to-CV convertor, but note that, since it has an Envelope Bypass mode, you can make sounds with the Taurus and use it as a filter processor without needing to slave it to anything."

MOOG Taurus II With MIDI

"Moog Taurus II modified with MIDI and played using a Yamaha CS1X and a set of MIDI bass pedals. Demo created solely with the purpose of showing the Taurus capabilities, and not a musical statement."

Moog Taurus II - An Audio Demo

"I wasn't really able to locate a demo of the Moog Taurus II on YouTube back when I was considering getting one... So now that I have it, here is a demo. Hopefully this helps others interesting in this somewhat maligned Moog (people claim the original Taurus sounds better...I say it just sounds different. It does offer a bit more control than the original.) The sound engine is definitely identical to the Moog "The Rogue" keyboard, which I also own. NOTE: This was an attempt to show what it sounds like and not a musical statement. Two of the pedals were out of alignment (since fixed) so there are a few out of tune notes and a few note that failed to trigger.
The recording includes a little delay (400ms) enrich the sound a little."
