Own My Moog Taurus

Own My Moog Taurus from TACG on Vimeo.

"Up on the block is my Moog Taurus I -- the original, first generation, and still the fattest two-voice analog synth in the land. And this includes the Taurus 3, which, while feature-laden, does not pack the same voluptuous sonic goodness as this one. Why? Who can say? But I'm not particularly golden-eared, and even I note the difference in the A/B shootouts I've heard.

So:

If you've never heard one, I've put together a little demo of its funky fatness. No effects or eq in this clip. As you can see in the video, it's in fantastic shape, with very little external wear and tear, and everything is in perfect working order. The glass flap above the custom controls is removable, and I sometimes take it off for better access, as you can see in some of the shots.

As you can also see in the video, filter and volume controls were designed as sliding foot pedals. This was a fantastic idea which was replaced by a more typical mod/pitch bend wheel configuration on the Taurus 3. Too bad. The little pedals are chunky and easy to grab, which makes it simple to do rapid envelope-follower style effects with a flick of the wrist. This works because you can tell by sight and by touch exactly where the pedal is in its travel. And the length of travel is just long enough to provide good resolution, while being short enough and smooth enough to travel quickly from fully open to fully closed. Check the clip for several examples of this.

I need to free up some space in the arsenal for some other things, and I really don't use the Taurus as much as it deserves to be used, so it's time to let it go. Hopefully you can give it a more active lifestyle than I have.

$1950. Will personally deliver in NYC to ensure safe arrival of this vintage piece.

Thanks!"

NAMM & NOT NAMM - New Products on the Synth Front

Well, it's that time of year again. Keep an eye out on the NAMM label (added to top right menu) for everything NAMM and more. More in that anything new will get the label whether it's shown at NAMM or not. It's about new gear. Updates in this post will be preceded in red. Some already in below. See "The NAMM List!" link under the Twitter, Facebook, and RSS labels on top of the right to get back to this post later.

(A note on the top site menus: I removed the iPhone and iPad labels as they go up in posts every day now so you can find them there. eBay links are on the right, so I removed it as well.)

That said, the following are some of the things to look out for. If you have any NAMM info feel free to comment and/or send it in. If I missed anything, let me know! If you are going to NAMM, feel free to send pics and video in.
