1980s Moog Taurus II Vintage Analog Bass Pedal Synthesizer

Up for sale, a 1980s Moog Taurus II in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This unique Moog synthesizer was only produced from 1981-83, prized for its distinctive bass timbres and used by bands including Genesis and Yes. The synth module circuitry is a duplicate of Moog’s Rogue, featuring a straight-forward, no-frills design and control configuration. The monophonic, single-trigger synth offers 2 VCOs, with square and sawtooth waveforms, a 24dB/oct lowpass filter with cutoff (key tracking), Attack + Decay or Sustain VCA functionality, Portamento, Pitch and Mod wheels. Of course, the main draw of the Taurus II is the 18-note CV pedal controller, which generates CVs for keys pressed along with V-trig/S-trig signals and features range and scale pots for transposing the CV output, enabling the unit to control various vintage analog synths that have CV/trigger inputs or even modular synthesizers. The original (and temperamental) stand between the pedals and controls has been upgraded with a more substantial adjustable-height mic stand, with cosmetic wear limited to some minor dings and scuffs at the corners and a small sliver of wood loss on the edge of the foot pedals. A power supply is included.
