As a massive Police, Rush and Genesis fan. I've bought one of these and play it with a set of Roland PK5 foot pedals. It sounds great, the Toro sound as true as possible. OK if you want to be Duran Duran, not for you. Wanna be Sting or Geddy Lee, that's where I'm at. Great synth.
The big filter knob affects the Presets. They "sounded like rubbish" because you had the filter all the way closed. Booooooooo. The Taurus (Toro on this) preset at various filter levels is one of the most famous/recognizable bass tones ever, and the "Bass" Preset with the filter up is in TONS of pop tracks all the way through the 80's. TURN YOUR FILTER UP!
Magic was OGs beat knob. Moog never used v/Oct converters on Taurus. No v/Oct converter means 30% cheaper synth in the 70ies at the expense of range. Looks like this synth just uses some coolaudio chip with voct converter baked into silicon.
I watched this just to find out if the beat knob worked like the sub 37. I feel like this synth had 1 job and failed! Is the bass any better than a Behringer D?
