Behringer Toro

Moog's famous Taurus bass pedal system reproduced in all analog form by Behringer... Yup, they've done it again & as usual the price is bonkers cheap!

Here's the Behringer TORO, an authentic recreation of the synthesis section of the legendary Moog Taurus 1 pedal unit produced by Moog between 1975 & 1981 and made popular by artists like Rush, Genesis, Dream Theatre and Yes to name a few. Now all those iconic tones can be yours.

What you basically get is the by now expected all analog reproduction of the synthesis engine of the famous pedal unit, sans the actual pedals which keyboard wizards of the day like Wakeman would play in the usual way as for any organ bass pedal unit to accompany what their two hands were playing on the actual keys.

Being able to deliver massive detuned sounds thanks to its 2 VCOs allows the TORO to instantly produce that classic earth-shaking rumble of the original. The TORO isn’t just great for getting great bass sounds. Thanks to its 5-octave range, you can also get some nice searing lead sounds.

The TORO comes with 4 sound presets starting with the classic Toro, Tuba and Bass presets which have been carefully recreated to sound just like the original as well as Variable, which gives you access to all controls so you can shape and fine tune your sound.

What a bizarre choice of unit for Behringer to decide to deliver, but there it is; basically a Moog Bass synth.
