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.

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.
that would be great.Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 7:31 pm
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.

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!ColorForm2113 wrote:LOL it sure seems that way voltor
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

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?
