Take a trip back to the future. Just remember to bring your aviators.
The 1980s was a period of incredible change here on planet Earth. The Walkman revolutionised portable music. VHS won the war against Betamax. Humankind fought armies of giant laser-wielding robot dinosaurs. (Ok, so maybe not the last one.) This classic era, when combined with today's modern production techniques, packs one hell of a punch.

Using vintage synthesisers and original drum machines, 80s Future Retro boasts a professional, studio-quality sound that teleports you back to the glory days of neon. Powerful drums drive the mix with classic 80s rhythms. Bright pads and synth hooks build and combine to create a lush fabric of melody, while cutting FX and retro one-shots build atmosphere and tension.

Get ready for the future.

-Expandable With Moog Accessories

Apollo Polyphonic Synthesizer
-Fully Polyphonic
-Full Range of Synthesizer Effects
-Four Presets, including Electric Piano Voice

Taurus Bass Synthesizer

Only the Taurus made it to production and only in name. Note the design in the ad differs considerably. One or possibly two Apollos made it to prototype stage. One is now owned by The Bob Moog Foundation as you can see in this video. Note according to the video description it's from 1978, while this add was from 1973 (bottom right of ad). The second or possibly the same Apollo is/was owned by Cantos as you can see here. The prototype Lyra, along with others, is pictured in that post as well. At least one Lyra physically exists.
