10 years on, and I still use Tau MkII when I want to produce house music. Ofcourse I'm in for the new update

MkII is 2003 vintage IIRC. It's quite a different beast to Tau MkI though, each one has its own very different sonic character. I would say Tau MkI is much closer design-wise to Tau Pro but even then they sound really quite different.

Cool, looking forward to the download.

Shall also take a moment to mention an article about Muon Software that appears in Wusik Magazine this month. Muon were the first company to release a third party synth plug-in right back at the dawn of VSTi time about, oh, 12 years ago. Things have moved along since but Muon synths still rock

Yes indeed it is, I lost Tau 1 many years ago, but it had some problems with the accent when mimicking the TB303. Still it is one killer plugin though. Really looking forward to the new version.

Oh and by the way. Didn't Muon release TauPro? Is that still available?

Edited to add the quote.

Oppps, sorry, not my intention... was thinking more like "Experienced and Knowledgeable"

I suppose it could lead to a "If you were a dinosaur, what type of dinosaur would you be?" discussion, but that might not be very productive.

By the way Tau Bassline MkII is superb, lovin' it and well worth the very reasonable price. The "Accent" feature (filter?) is what makes it so much fun

Yes, we still sell quite a few of those even.

I think perhaps the algorithms have mellowed over ten years and acquired a more vintage character

I've quickly recorded a small audio demo for those of you who don't know what this little plugin sounds like (Just Tau + a simple delay).

After a few hours with Reaktor and Zebra such a simple "toy" can be really refreshing

Nice!

I think I will make a free Tau MkII and Tau Pro up for grabs for the best user-submitted song made with Tau 10th Anniversary. Post your songs here or on the Facebook page.
