Specifications
What
are
the
controllers?
The
two
primary
controllers
on
Taurus
II
are
the
pedalboard
and
the
pitch
wheel.
Each
of
these
will
change
the
frequencies
(and
therefore
the
pitches)
of
the
oscillators
in
the
audio
portion.
The
pedalboard
can
also
be
used
to
alter
the
cutoff
of
the
filter.
This
is
controlled
by
the
KEYBOARD
TRACKING
knob
on
the
filter
section.
The
pedalboard
is
also
directly
connected
to
the
articulation
portion
of
the
instrument
so
that
pitch
and
articulation
are
controlled
simultaneously.
A
GLIDE
control
allows
theaddition
of
portamento
(sliding
from
note
to
note)
when
playing
on
the
pedals.
The
speed
of
the
glide
is
adjustable.
The
TUNING
knob
controls
both
oscillators
simultaneously.
The
MIXER
allows
different
levels
of
each
oscillator
and/or
noise
to
be
combined
into
the
final
output
(MASTER
VOLUME
control).
Note:
When
placed
at
the
upper
level
(7.5
-
10)
the
mixer
will
automatically
go
into overdrive.
This
is
a
distortion
circuit
built
into
the
instrument.
Overdrive
creates
a
driving
sound
similar
to,
but
less
dramatic
than,
that
of
a
fuzz
box
or
other
guitar
processors.
It
also
helps to
create
a
fatter
sound.
For normal
oscillator
sound
set
MIXER
at
approximately
5.
