Moog Taurus I 1 1970's Bass Pedals SN 3044

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"1970's Moog Taurus I Bass Pedals! Here it is folks, THE synth responsible for the thunderous tones in Rush. Geddy played these with his feet while he played guitar or keyboard. It has recently been serviced and sounds fantastic. Everything is fully functional and works as it should.

Here's the list of servicing:
-New power cable
-Recapped power supply
-Key contact cleaning
-Keybed alignment
-New trim pots
-New LED's
-Full calibration.

This is a very cool synth that sounds insanely big. 3 factory presets and 1 preset where you can shape your sound with Moog filters and envelopes. A very cool thing and unlike any other synth that I have had. There is some normal wear here and there, a few extra drill holes, 2 of the pedal covers are cracked but have been repaird, and its missing its little window flap but overall everything looks great.

If you have been looking for a vintage Moog Taurus I then look no further. This one is a good one to have and is studio or tour ready."

Syndt – Polyphonic Synthesizer for macOS/Windows & iPad

video by Klevgrand

"A versatile, morphable polyphonic synthesizer.

Syndt is a high quality polyphonic synthesizer with a lot of possibilities. The oscillator waveform can be morphed between pure sine to pure square, and supports altering of pulse width. Both the shape and pulse width can be modulated by two independent LFOs. With fine-tuned low pass and high pass filters combined with a separate filter attack setting, (optionally based on velocity) this synth can create some raw and interesting sounds. The additional LFO can be shaped exactly as the oscillator, and optionally controls filters, gain and pitch (using a modulation wheel or just automatically). This LFO can be synchronized to a AUv3 host. Globally there’s a nice stereo chorus, ping pong stereo delay (that also can sync to a AUv3 hosts BPM) and EQ.

MakeNoise Telharmonic Retirement Tribute

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"MakeNoise has decided to retire the Telharmonic, System Cartesian - and Brains. The Telharmonic has been one of my most underappreciated modules for a long time, but that's completely changed since Walker's digital foam video. Also, the MakeNoise FB April Fools post from 2019 was also great fun to revisit - where a new 'firmware' was introduced for the Tel and was installed with a special card. I am happy to have it in my case, hopefully this tribute inspires you to complete your collection too!"

UNO Synth Pro - Sonic LAB Review

video by sonicstate

"IK Multimedia’s second hardware synth builds on the initial synth engine introduced in the Uno Synth, which was surprisingly beefy sonically if not physically.

Uno Synth Pro expands this original concept and adds :a more substantial build quality in both the desktop and keyboard versions, three morphing oscillators (playable as 3 note paraphonic), two filters - the original OTA filter and a new SSI resonant filter with design input from the legendary Dave Rossum, we also get an analogue post filter drive and three DSP send effects.

16 slot mod matrix, 64 step sequencer with song mode, CV and GATE io top of the features."

Two Erica Synths DB-01s attempt Subharmonicon ambience

video by Richard DeHove

"Can two Erica Synths DB-01 Bassline machines achieve Subharmonicon-style ambience? They are wildly different in design and capabilities but the DB-01s can do a surprisingly good impression of "meandering ambience". Here I run through the entire setup and tweaks with less talking as the video goes on. What I did find is that the wonderful Polivoks filter won't be denied and the machines seemed to naturally gravitate to grit and filth and finally ended up in dark ambient territory. For contrast listen at 4:35 and then jump to 20:20. Both machines are running through the same Fabfilter Pro-R reverb setting at a 25% mix.

PS: The focus becomes steadily softer through the video. Why? Who knows, but it's the last time that camera will fail me. Next time, a new camera.
