Amen. I don't think I'd leave my car if it was nice jet black with orange soft lights, large dials, and white caps text all over everything

A bit confrontational, but I do like the bar gauges, those are a nice touch!

looks pretty boss, but why wouldnt u just get a slim phatty instead?
2 reasons I can think of:
1.) $170 cheaper
2.) knobs for every function for people who hate multi-function knobs and digging through menus. (which I admit the phatty is not really BAD about, but it's at least a reason)
Yeah, 2.) is worth some extra money.
I would say, the price is quite fair.

Now THAT would make a great looking synth! the steering wheel could be the pitch or mod wheel.
Back on topic, I didn't see it mentioned but is that thing midi compatible?
Edit: it says so in the specs derp...so much want.

Including MIDI-over-USB. Which is handy these days, maybe saving you the cost of an adapter.

Minitaur with even more options than Taurus weights 18 kilos less than Taurus. This makes me little suspicious that on the inside of this beast is iPod.

Do you mean less weight than something with a full set of bass pedals in the package?

I was seriously contemplating offing some pedals to pick one of these up the other day. Damnit

I'm not sure if I want to get this, or pinch a few more pennies for a prodigy.

The Roland PK-6 with roughly equivalent form weighs 8.8 kilos/ 19.4 lbs. I'm guessing the Taurus hardware is built a bit heavier. That and the whole Taurus3 was built with a lot of nostalgia in mind.
