Back in the 1970s, the Moog Taurus I powered those earth-shaking bass lines for bands like Rush and Genesis, and this faithful analog clone brings that same thunder to your setup without breaking the bank.
At its core, dual sawtooth VCOs span a massive 5-octave range, perfect for detuning into thick, room-rattling lows or pushing into lead territory, with dedicated tune and beat knobs for dialing in that classic Moog-style growl. The lowpass ladder filter delivers smooth, resonant shaping via cutoff and emphasis sliders, paired with filter and amp envelopes featuring attack, decay, and sustain for punchy contours. Glide slider and toggle add portamento flair, while 23 hands-on knobs and switches make real-time tweaking a breeze on its compact desktop chassis—3.7 x 16.7 x 5.3 inches, Eurorack-ready at 80HP—with CV/gate inputs for pitch, filter, and modulation, plus MIDI in/thru, USB, main out, and headphone jack. Four presets (Toro, Tuba, Bass, Variable) offer instant recall, and poly-chain links up to 16 units for 32-voice polyphony.
Players love its authentic warmth and simplicity for bass duties, cutting through mixes with zero fuss, though some note the monophonic design and quirky vintage envelopes keep it focused rather than versatile. It's a beast for analog bass heads wanting pro tones on a budget.
