Details:
"EMS VCS3 mk1 in almost pristine condition. This is the Mark 1 Putney with individual waveforms on the matrix. As you can see the unit is in unbelievable shape. Everything is functioning perfectly except the trapezoid light is burnt out. I have an original replacement part which I will include. I haven't put it in because I'm not a tech. There are no scratchy pots and the matrix works perfectly. The spring reverb on this thing is amazing! The knobs have been replaced with moog style knobs, but I will include the originals. Auction includes vcs3, original vinyl dustcover, the 20 original pins, 20 new pins, the original manual, full schemetic manual, a facilities cable to connect- pitch/cv, dk 1 or 2, 8 octave filter, or random noise generater., midi/cv cables, and extra documentation from ems."

MOOG Taurus with MIDI

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Some details for the archives:
"Moog Taurus foot controlled pedal synthesizer with Synhouse MIDIJack II modifications. It is in great working condition, although it is admittedly in less than ideal cosmetic condition. Most notably, the designations for the switches above the pedals as well as the sliding 'loudness' and 'filter' controls are missing. The switches are, from left to right, Variable (uses control panel in the middle of the instrument), Taurus, Tuba, Bass, Glide, Decay, and Octave. The first four are presets, the last three affect all of the presets and may all be used at once. The Loudness and Filter controls are located on the top left and right, respectively. The center control panel (see photo) contains Tune, Beat, Glide, Octave selector switch, Oscillator A/B mix adjust, Oscillator B Frequency, Attack, Sustain, Decay, Filter Cut-Off, Emphasis, Contour Amount, Contour Attack, and Contour Decay. All of the switches, sliders/faders, and controls work as they should, as do the pedals. Also, all controls not in the center section (which is behind a small window) can be easily adjusted by foot.

As mentioned, this Taurus also includes the Synhouse MIDIJack II modifications. This allows the Taurus to be controlled by an external MIDI controller. You can play the Taurus with a MIDI keyboard or sequencer as you would any MIDI instrument. All the standard MIDIJack II controls are included, but a convenient feature has been added: a switch has been added to the top (see photo, next to Filter control) which allows the user to quickly change MIDI channels or turn MIDI off completely. By holding down the switch for only a few seconds, the MIDI controls are turned off and the Taurus works as normal. Pressing the switch once turns on MIDI channel 1 and an external controller can be used. The user can then switch MIDI channels by continuing to tap the switch, or turn MIDI off again by holding down the switch.

Included in this auction is the Owners Manual, Service Manual (which includes detailed technical instructions, parts lists, schematics, and circuit board layouts), and the Synhouse MIDIJack II manual."
