about damned time

Re: about damned time

2008-12-04 by Bernie

Maybe the $3500 eBay ripoffs will dry up now. I wish I could justify
getting one, especially with a 4-tier Dot Com modular sitting in my
tiny studio. I do miss my olde set though.

Hi Vance,
Anyone going? Anything Mellotronic going to be there?
Having done many exhibitions in my time I have a very jaundiced view of what they achieve. I'll let you know when John and myself are in The Cat and Fiddle on Sunset for an Enfglish style night down the pub!.

Hey Jon did you order one of the new Taurus sets?
Man thanks for posting the Moog, I wasted no time in ordering one and I have a set of the originals.
Pretty long lead time though.
The upgraded Phatty is looking good to me also.
Anything that arpeggiates get's my attention, lol.
Best regards,
Tony

Re: about damned time

I don't see any info about the number of pedals. I think the
originals had 13 pedals with a 5 octave range. Unless the pedals are
really tiny, I think 18 pedals would make the new Taurus a little too
wide.

The emusician story says "one and half octaves on the floor". That
sounds like 18 pedals (like a Taurus II)

I've never seen a Taurus II. Is it the same width as a Taurus I? Are
my wide feet going to be a problem?

I have an old, non-working Taurus II unit and it is an octave and a half. The original Taurus was only one octave.

Agreed Bernie and to the list members, sorry about the non private message yesterday.
The new features of the Moog sound (no pun) great!
Arpeggiators rock my world!
If I'm not mistaken the instrument has memory settings too.
A whole lot of power, in my opinion.

No, I sure haven't. Next time around, perhaps. I need room, not more stuff. And the notion that they are only going to make a thousand of them? Right...

Dear All,
I had started designing my own version having recently restored a set for a customer. DCOs, MIDI, programmable. Oh well not a hope of selling any if Moog are making them again.
Back to the KS replacement...

Our bassist,Fred, has gone to some pains to keep his in good working
order. They are a real cornerstone for a progressive wall of sound. I've
had a "little phatty" analog moog for a couple of years and I'm still not
sure I like it- not quite smooth like the moogs of old- something metallic
about it- hope the new Taurus doesn't have the same problem.
