Taurus 3 User’s Manual - The Components
Modulation effects in the Taurus 3 are provided
by a wide-range LFO that allows you to se-
lect from four waveforms, adjust modulation
amounts to two destinations (Pitch and Filter),
and set the LFO sync option.
LFO Panel Controls:
SQUARE, TRIANGLE, RAMP, SAW:
Selects the LFO waveform. These four switches act like Radio Buttons; pressing one switch deselects
any others. One of these four switches will always be illuminated whenever the LFO panel is selected.
RATE:
Selects the LFO Rate parameter. The frequency range is 0.01 to 100 Hz. In addition to adjusting the
rate with the VALUE encoder or CONTROL footwheel, the LFO rate can be modied by the Tap
Tempo function (see page 22).
LFO AMOUNT FILTER/LFO AMOUNT PITCH
Selects the LFO Amount parameter for the Filter and Pitch (Oscillators), from zero to full scale (100%).
MODWHEEL (PITCH + FILTER)
Selects the MODWHEEL parameter, which allows the CONTROL footwheel to act like a Modulation
Wheel. This parameter is accessed by pressing both LFO AMOUNT switches simultaneously. When
this ‘hot key’ combination is activated, both LFO AMOUNT panel switches will be illuminated and
‘MODWHEEL: XXXX’ will appear on the bottom line of the display:
When MODWHEEL is selected, the CONTROL footwheel functions like the Mod Wheel found on a
Voyager or Little Phatty – it is used to dynamically control the amount of modulation that is programmed
for the Pitch and Filter LFO modulation parameters. MODWHEEL will remain as the active parameter until
a new parameter or a new preset is selected. As an active parameter, MODWHEEL and its associated value
can be stored for later recall, allowing you to program a constant modulation amount for a given preset.

NOTE: When MODWHEEL is selected, the CONTROL footwheel will transmit the
MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) values for Modulation.
