Lyra, Apollo, Taurus...

3 new Moog synthesizers coordinated to create the total sound for today's music

Lyra Solo Synthesizer

-Expandable With Moog Accessories

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

Taurus Bass Synthesizer
-Wide Range of Bass Effects

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.
