Moog Taurus Bass Pedals in Genesis Songs and more - The Legendary Prog Rock Sound!


video upload by RetroSound

"The legendary Moog Taurus Bass Pedals played a huge role in the powerful low-end sound of progressive rock — and Genesis used that sound in some truly iconic songs.

In this video, we take a closer look at the Moog Taurus bass pedal and its role in the Genesis and the Phil Collins, Steve Hackett solo works, exploring those deep, massive bass frequencies that became a signature of progressive rock.

From the classic Genesis era to the unmistakable sound of the Taurus pedals, we'll look at how these legendary analog bass pedals were used and why the Moog Taurus became such an important instrument in rock music.

If you're a fan of progressive rock, Moog synthesizers, analog synths, bass pedals or classic 1970s rock sounds, this video is for you.

🎧 Listen with headphones or a good sound system to really hear those deep Taurus frequencies!"

Introducing Loop, an Idea Machine by Polyend


video upload by Polyend

"This is Loop, an 8-track Performance Looper."



Some pics and details via Perfect Circuit

"The Polyend Loop is a complete loop-based audio workstation that brings you 4 independent loopers alongside 4 tracks of sample-based percussion with built-in effects. Each of the 4 loopers offers up to 52 seconds of recording time in mono or stereo with the option for forward, reverse, or ping-pong playback. Add discrete effects to each channel with myriad reverb and delay options, along with classic modulation effects, like chorus, vibrato, phaser, and tape effects; shaper effects give you overdrives, distortions, and other waveshapers, use the panning option for spatialization, and the filter can give you a nice bit of sonic sculpting. Indeed, this is the perfect device to not just sketch ideas, but create an entire album's worth of sonic world-building.

Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - First... Ride?


video upload by Some Synths with SOMENERV and SOMENERV

"Demoing my first multi-part sequence on this new-to-me 3rd Wave, as well as sharing first impressions.

Relatively short but a bit rambly. Definitely more talking than synth sounds, so apologies in advance if you came mostly for sounds. More videos with less or no talking to come as I continue to get more familiar with this incredibly deep and amazing sounding synth."
