More new stuff from Hollow Sun – Moog Taurus Mk.1 & Speak & Spell
Moog Taurus Mk.1
This afternoon I got first dibs at the newest addition to the ever increasing catalogue of commercial releases from sample legends Hollow Sun. This pack features the iconic Moog Taurus Mk.1. This bass pedal device was originally intended for sole use underneath an organ called the Constellation, but this Moog product never surfaced. The Taurus came with a 5 octave range and 3 presets plus a single user programmable patch.
It’s woofer trembling power soon found it’s way into many classic pieces of prog rock, electronica and dance music. It was often used both as a pedal board and also mounted and played by hands.
I can confirm that this a faithful, knee tembling recreation of the legendary Taurus sound 🙂
Incidentally, Moog are hoping to have 1000 newly built Mk.1 Taurus units for sale this November.
TI Speak & Spell
The other offering to come out of Hollow Sun is the free Speak & Spell pack for Alesis Fusion, Akai S5/6000, Z Series, MPC4000 & MPC5000 and Kontakt 3.5. This weighs in at 10MB approx. and includes every sound made by the Texas Instrument Speak and Spell toy.
A great, fun set of sounds 🙂
