Notice the handle-like silver rod below the controls,
-just to avoid having the controls get hit accidentally, by a manic foot, in moments of hard rock passion! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Great design, by Axel Hartmann again I guess.... :roll:

Since theres only 1 handle I wonder if its balanced in that spot.

Can't wait to see the weight/dimensions!

The single knob appears to be protected by the bar, as turning the knob on accident by foot would change your preset and potential to damage the pot (unless in edit mode), whereas hitting the buttons would likely be inconsequential.

Nice.

My first thought was whether those rollers on the side can really take a lot of weight on them.
The originals could and I'm betting this wasn't overlooked when designing, but I remain curious if you can really stand on them.
Lots of small buttons somewhat close together too.
My feet would fit fine, but not sure about everyone's.
I think the Moog logo should be larger also.
Perhaps it is in the back, where it will be seen by most people on stage.

Minor points in light of a major accomplishment though, so my compliments to Moog for their work.

I'd suggest the handle might be used more often as a footrest than to carry it.
Not a bad idea if done for that reason, though as pointed out, probably more to not crush that knob or display.

An arpeggiator, MIDI and LFO sync / tap tempo are sure to be welcome.

Kudos to Moog for a very quickly realized project.

Sure has a lot of buttons and lights. :)

Already I'm wondering if there will be a RUSH signature edition with the 'Starman' logo emblazoned across the back panel... 8)

Again, kudos Moog. Can't wait to get my hands, er...feet on it.

Sounds like a good time for a package deal of a Moog Taurus III and official Moog socks. :)
