Too bad they're only making 1000 of them. At $2000USD each, I think only major acts and studios will be getting ones. While they're great for studio stuff, just look at it; the Taurus was made to be used live. I've dreamed about having one of these since I heard Led Zeppelin & Yngwie Malmsteen use one.
They should really consider making a dumbed-down version that sells for around or under $300. Or license a 'budget model' to someone like EHX.
I saw a local band a few years back, they had a Moog Taurus on stage, they had to turn it off because the sound system couldn't handle it.
THE POWER OF MOOG!!!!
I saw the band a few months later, they had a different sound company and the bass pedals were on....my guts are still quivering!! What an awesome sound & feel!

You can tell how rad the Moog company is by seeing those psyched-up expressions on these guys' faces.

Tried it on the Namm 2010 Fair.
Taurus is back for Sure.
It has the same power as the Original.
Get one while you can:)

Why the massive keys?
They could have put a 3 octave normal keyboard in the same space

They are testing it with their hands, but you play it with your feet, like the pedals on an organ.

This is a total beast!
After the poor imitation of the Taurus II, the bass is back!
