The Mellotron Group

Maybe the $3500 eBay ripoffs will dry up now. I wish I could justify 
getting one, especially with a 4-tier Dot Com modular sitting in my 
tiny studio. I do miss my olde set though.

Anyone going? Anything Mellotronic going to be there?

Hi Vance,

Anyone going? Anything Mellotronic going to be  there?

Having done many exhibitions in my time I have a very jaundiced view of  what 
they achieve.  I'll let you know when John and myself are in The Cat  and 
Fiddle on Sunset for an Enfglish style night down the pub!.
 
Best,
 
Martin

Dumb question alert!
Does the new one have 13 pedals or 18 pedals?

I don't see any info about the number of pedals. I think the 
originals had 13 pedals with a 5 octave range. Unless the pedals are 
really tiny, I think 18 pedals would make the new Taurus a little too 
wide.

The emusician story says "one and half octaves on the floor".  That
sounds like 18 pedals (like a Taurus II)

I've never seen a Taurus II. Is it the same width as a Taurus I? Are 
my wide feet going to be a problem?

I have an old, non-working Taurus II unit and it is an octave and a half.
The original Taurus was only one octave.

Dear All,
 
I had started designing my own version having recently restored a set for a  
customer. DCOs, MIDI, programmable. Oh well not a hope of selling any if  Moog 
are making them again.
 
Back to the KS replacement...
 
Norm

I have a set of original Moog  Taurus pedals and it is quite the full  sound.

Our bassist,Fred, has gone to some pains to keep his in good working
order. They are a real cornerstone for a progressive wall of sound. I've
had a "little phatty" analog moog for a couple of years and I'm still not
sure I like it- not quite smooth like the moogs of old- something metallic
about it- hope the new Taurus doesn't have the same problem.
