MOOG TAURUS 1 bass-pedals

vintage synth demo by RetroSound

reso bass (like Tom Sawyer): Moog Taurus
drums: Roland TR-606
vintage shoes ;-)

Sorry for the sloppy playing. The Taurus is so loud I have no more heard the drum beat.

Taurus 1 is used by Rush (Tom Sawyer), Genesis (Squonk, Dance on a Volcano, Los Endos, Mama, Turn it on Again, Abacab...) Asia (Go, Dont Cry), Marillion (Pseudo Silk Kimono, Kaylight), Steve Hackett (Clocks), Phil Collins (I Don`t Care Anymore), U2 (Where the Streets have no Name), The Police (Don't Stand So Close To Me, Walking on the Moon), Saga and more

@CP3x2007 it was created on an obx, but i think geddy also plays it on his pedals

[CP3x2007]

Actually, "Tom Sawyer" 's opening is played on an OBX.

@sunandsnowmusic More like Camera Eye from side 2 of Moving Pictures!

@Beckham742 You are a "Fortunate Man"...!



[metalheadnick555]

I love how everyone says "Tom Sawyer", yet all I can think of is Kraftwerk...either way these pedals sound just epic.

[sunandsnowmusic]

YES => RUSH TOM SAWYER ... wie geil !

[MrMoogman]

For all those people that want this bass sound from a synth there are a number of ways to get it......but it has to be analogue.

New Dave Smith Prophet08 has a Tom Sawyer patch that does the lead and bass synth split over the keyboard range. You can get the same sound of the base from a Moog Prodigy or Rogue. Detune the pitch bend to the bottom.Then the cutoff frequency and adsr to get the opening filter sound and tune pot down.

Prophet 08 second hand for around £800 and Moog for £400...ish.

[cacodrillo]

what kind of amp do you use with this beast?

[luzuvi2112]
