Moog Music Forum

Greetings. After almost 40 years of dreaming it has finally happened. I scored a mint Taurus 3. I'm pretty much a synthesizer technology novice so looking forward to using this site.
Adrenaline surge, for sure.
Now to find a good case - any recommendations since the Moog offering is no longer available?

Get an Anvil custom made and accept no substitutions.

Congrats JokerVille, and welcome to the forum

Feel free to post some sounds!!

Welcome,

My first synth was a Taurus 3 also.

Here are some links to a couple options that will help you protect/transport your T3

I have the soft case, haven't tried the hard case but i'm planning on getting one eventually (can't stack things in the car with a soft case), i believe there are other people on this forum who have used the hard case.

( i got the "padded briefcase gig bag" theres a picture of it here in the forum.. http://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.ph ... 67#p127267 when I ordered it I added double padding, a padded pocket on the front, a shoulder strap with shoulder pad, extra webbing handles on each side going horizontal and leather strips on the bottom.)

Hope this helps.

I bought the hard case from Moog when the T3 came out. I should had bought an Anvil case.

Thanks, guys. I've already determined this is going to become a key piece of my gear, so I'm just going to get an Anvil. I have this very efficient folding dolly that will be perfect that case size.
The T3 is a bit awkward to physically handle given its weight. And, of course, you can't grab the pedals or the end pieces. Would have been really nice to have a couple of built-in hole type handles on the sides of the casing or something. Was even envisioning building a bottom piece with a couple of folding handles to easily lift up and place in a case.

Have you got minitaur? Can you compare minitaur vs Taurus?

Sorry, the T3 is currently the only piece of Moog gear I own.

I do have both and the Taurus III sounds way bigger to my ears. I think the oscillators and/or the filters are better than the Minitaur...

What are the chances for a Taurus 3 without pedals at some point in the future? Absolutely no chance? I want one but the pedals would be wasted on me.

Minitaur is a Taurus sans pedals.

I own both.

Same. I sold my t3 eons ago and regret it ever sense. It sounds much "gnarlier" than the minitaur, which just sounds too metallic most of the time.
