"The entire unit has recently been gone over and and it works great. The wood trim pieces have been refinished so they look as good as new.

Included with this:
- Original owner's manual (along with 5 copied programming sheets I copied from the manual)
- Module-to-pedal cord
- 2 power adapters
- Chrome mic stand bar
- 3 program template overlays
- Soft case for the module.

The Taurus II is a 1.5 octave pedal synthesizer with detachable electronics, full modulation, performance controls and total interface capability. Moog produced these for only two years (1981-1983) It’s a bass pedal synthesizer with essentially the same synth engine as the Rogue. It has saw tooth or square waveforms, which go low and their bass sounds are great.

The synthesizer features controls for modulation, oscillation, contour, filter, mixer and master volume. Controls for pitch, mod, tune and glide are on the far left side. There are several internal trimpots with access on the back of the unit. See photos for input/output jacks.

The floor controller includes a total of 18 pedals and input for the main synthesizer unit on the back."

Lady Starlight - Against The Clock

Published on Jun 7, 2017 FACTmagazine

"Techno in 10 minutes from one of Berlin's rising stars.

Lady Starlight's journey has been anything but ordinary. Formerly a tour DJ for Lady Gaga, Starlight found herself meeting UK techno veteran Surgeon after a show in his hometown of Birmingham and the pair have been collaborating ever since, regularly appearing at clubs and festivals across Europe.

Last month, she released her debut solo EP on respected techno label Stroboscopic Artefacts. Spanning four tracks of relentless 4/4, it got us eager to see what kind of music the producer could make with just 10 minutes in the studio and her formidable collection of gear."
