All synth sounds in this are Taurus 3, including the really weird ones (some intense filter modulation using the external CV input). Crank up the subwoofer and have a listen.
Oh me oh my… something wonderful has happened.
A good friend of mine, who happens to be a monstrously talented sound designer and audio pro, has done a mix of this Taurus demo. My own efforts in the mixing department are so-so, and I’m afraid the levels in that last recording were all out of whack.
Have a listen to this - it’s been EQ’d, levels tweaked, time-corrected, DC-offset-removed, and generally worked into a professional-sounding mix. Should sound great on small speakers now and fan-freakin-tastic on a full-range setup with subs.
I think this makes a very strong argument for creating a Taurus 3 tabletop/rack
module once you’ve made your very last Taurus 3 that has pedals.
There are lots of musicians out there always looking to add great bass sounds
and effects to their existing arsenal. It’d make a killer gateway to the analog side.
Amos,
My sister listened to the original version with headphones and exclaimed
“I can feel that in my feet”
Consider this please:
Moog needs to give you some PDO’s with a Voyager, Phatty, Taurus, a compliment of Foogers and let you make a real demo record for sale/promotional purposes. That would be fabulous. Id buy it and with someone like yourself who intimately knows the inner workings of the gear, you can really let people know what this stuff is capable of.
I hope some incarnation of this beast is available when I have money, Please moog, make a rack mount version, or a fooger/pair containing both the oscillator and filter sections.
the synth drums are actually from the FutureRetro XS analogue synthesizer.
In hindsight, I probably could have synthesized some nice kick drums on the Taurus by using an MP-201 Multipedal to send CV envelopes to the external Pitch and Filter CV inputs on the Taurus… the original Taurus envelopes are not ideal for kick drums; they are specialized for bass (they sort-of-emulate a plucked string).
I’m going to learn to play with my feet - just about a week to go per Sweetwater… I’m hoping to get serial number 666. The number of the BEAST (wouldn’t that be great for my collection lust). Hearing your demo arouse extreme bass lust in me - I want to write my own patch that drips in so much pounding juicyness that everyone will think Flea walked in with an Electo Harmonix Octave pedal and the almighty Bass Balls. Only it will move air.
