TORO Analog Bass Synthesizer

DesktopAnalogMonophonic

Back in the 1970s, the Moog Taurus pedals shook stages with their thunderous analog bass tones, powering iconic riffs from everyone from Rush to Toto—and this module revives that exact vibe in a compact, rackable form.

At its core, it's a pure analog monophonic beast with dual VCOs pumping out sawtooth waves across a massive 5-octave range, perfect for detuning into those huge, sub-rattling basses or stacking intervals for leads that cut through. A legendary 4-pole 24dB lowpass ladder filter shapes everything with cutoff, resonance, and emphasis knobs, backed by dedicated envelopes for filter and volume—attack, decay, sustain all tweakable on the fly. You'll find 23 hands-on controls including big filter and volume knobs, oscillator tune/beat sliders, glide amount with on/off, octave switch, and a mix fader between the two VCOs, all laid out on a sturdy desktop/Eurorack panel that's 80HP wide and just 3.7 x 16.7 x 5.3 inches. Connectivity shines with pitch CV, filter CV, and gate inputs for modular integration, plus 5-pin MIDI in/thru, USB MIDI, poly-chain for up to 32 voices across 16 units, a 1/4-inch main out, and a 3.5mm headphone jack—powered by a included 12VDC adapter.

Four instant-recall presets—Toro, Tuba, Bass, and a tweakable Variable—give you those classic sounds at the push of a button, while the front-panel invites endless tweaking. Players love its authentic fatness that rivals pricier Taurus clones, praising the raw power for basslines that sit perfectly in mixes, though some note it's firmly monophonic without paraphony unless chained.
