Moog MINITAUR Analog Bass Synth
I'm hyperventilating over this. Every year, the National Association of Music Merchants hosts an industry conference during which music equipment manufacturers show off their latest products. There is a shit ton of awesome stuff. But perhaps none as awesome as the Moog MINITAUR.
Moog, whose line of synthesizers helped define modern music since the 1970s, has come out with its cheapest pure analog synthesizer ever! That position used to be held by the amazing Slim Phatty, which retails for $799. I know that seams like a lot, but it's crazy cheap compared to most of Moog's analog synths. For example, the blue Minimoog Voyager, which I would buy tomorrow if I won the lottery, retails for $3,395.
But now we can all own a slice of the Moog magic for just $599. $599 for crying out loud! I'm saving up for a bike now, but once I get that (and maybe a subwoofer), I'm going to start putting aside cash every month for a piece of the dream.
