Cherry Audio have the Lowdown
The Moog Taurus was an odd, bass-pedal-style synth much loved by various pro-rock outfits in the ’70s and a synth you played with your feet. But don’t let either fact put you off Cherry Audio’s recreation which you can happily play with your mouse. Lowdown Bass Synthesizer models Taurus’ circuits and uses an animated virtual ‘footboard’ – a word we possibly just made up but like a keyboard with foot pedals. There are 40 presets and 14 styles of ‘board’ to choose from. The synth is available now for the introductory price of $25 (otherwise $39).
