If you want, post/vote here when you’ve ordered your Taurus 3s. Just to keep tabs on the status for at least those who partake in the forum.
I placed an order yesterday!
Cool, MC. You have talked at length about filter coupling, feedback and other features of Taurus 1s which have remained elusive. I know you don’t work for Moog Music (or do you 
), but do you think these attributes are able to be recreated? Or are we just going to see a pedal synth LP with a 20 Hz corner frequency boost?
I’m not a Moog Music employee but I play one on TV.
Yes I have faith that they can make a bass pedal faithful to the original. Before the Voyager came out, they posted a poll in what people wanted. They asked for a 21st century Minimoog, and they delivered.
When I visited them at NAMM or at the factory, I emphasized that there were key component elements unique to the Taurus that had to be duplicated. Voyager is a faithful reproduction of the Minimoog, but neither was not a Taurus. They are different sounding products.
Other than the soon-to-be-obsolete OTA in the filter feedback and custom resistor arrays, there are no custom components in the original Taurus. Teh same was true for Minimoogs. I have no question that Moog can deliver a Taurus faithful to the original.
I REEAAALLLYY wish I could put in an order for these! Its just not possible financially. I really hope that these become so popular that moog puts them in regular production. Or if they want to hold a set for me for like two years that would be great.
I think someone is trying to find out if they really ordered first lol.
I plan to order definately 1 possibly 2 units.
I think HB3 beat me , but like I said in the other thread, I think the earliest S/Ns like “1” will be reserved for more “prominent” users. You never know, though.
This thread is more of an indicator for the order status. I personally would like to know whether this synthesiser will be produced or not. The first 250 orders receive a discount by providing a deposit, and this capital would presumably go towards R&D. My guess is that if they can get 250 preorders (surely they can), then I think there is a great chance we will see the production go ahead.
I couldn’t resist,I just ordered one.Moog is prolly still closed as it’s just before 9am here.
Well here we go again,another long wait,I’m still waiting for my moog guitar,LOL!!!
ColorForm and I have more and more in common each passing day, I reckon. 
LOL it sure seems that way voltor
Actually, I just ordered a set. I figure, it’ll be close to two years before these things are released…and I can afford the $500 now. So if you are absolutely certain you’ll be able to afford them within two years, GO FOR IT! 
Gamaliel hasn’t even got his MG yet, and they had pictures and vids and EVERYTHING what? Eight months ago? A year ago? Something like that. 
Voltor I couldn’t afford it either.Just this year I bought a voyager,the moog guitar,a prs Johnny Hiland model guitar,a Chicago Blues Box Buddy Guy amp,compleate with his autograph,and God knows how many high end stomp boxes.But 500 clams oh yeah I can do that.
I figure it’s going to be at least early 2010 before it comes close to being shipped,and hell when it does I’m gonna have one killa rig.I’m retiring from my day job early 2009 and going to go back to after 30+ years being a full time musician 
Jeez! THats impressive.
Ill gladly pay you Tuesday for some bass pedals today.
I forgot the roland gr-300 I got on ebay.yeah it’s my backup one LOL!!!
YOU need the $700 billion America just gave to the banks! 
Are you related to Warren Buffet? How could you even think to afford all that? I thought I was doing good buying the LP, three 'Foogers and used amp all in one year! Not to mention the MacBook, Farfisa 611-R, and Blue Snowball in that same fiscal year. How do you do it?
Voltor it was not easy that’s for sure.But I’m a olde geezer now with a good if not great steady income.I have close to 40 guitars and a chit load of amps that I bought over the years.
Being a olde geezer means I dont spend the bucks impressing the babes,I have learned to get by with just the basics.I don’t recommend my lifestyle to others but it works for me.Also I am going to retire next year so I bought all the things I would not be able to afford once I do retire.I dont play keyboards but I bought a Hammond and the voyager so I could learn keyboards on my own.The taurus came up from the blue and I knew with the moog guitar and the pedals I could do some really Chuck Norris type damage
I forgot Voltor,what is the blue snowball?
The best USB microphone money can buy even though it’s only a hundred bucks. The Chuck Norris of USB microphones, if you will. 
If I was going to retire, I’d blow my money on gear, as well. But I’m basically just starting out. Only 38 more years, THEN I can retire.
You have a farfisa?LOL all the keyboard players I played with in the 60’s had one.Chucky must be proad of you.How is it broken?
This Farfisa is a later one…built around 1975 or '76. It was intended for the home user, but seems to have seen its share of clubs. First, the capacitors are slowly giving up the ghost. Second, there’s something wrong with the polyphony, as only three keys sound at a time, which is workable for now. I just need to switch out the capacitors eventually, and maybe the contacts which need to be cleaned on a weekly basis. For some reason, the drawbars only work when they want to, as well. For 250 bucks, I couldn’t pass it up, though.
There’s also some modifications I’d like to do, such as switch out the filter chips with Curtis SSM2040’s, remove the built-in speakers, and some other stuff. But that organ is why I want the Taurus pedals. This organ is one of four DIY projects I have going on right now.
