What 
are 
the 
modifiers? 
There 
are 
two 
types 
of 
modifiers 
used 
on 
Taurus 
II, 
and 
since 
each 
has 
a 
very 
separate 
purpose, 
it 
would 
be 
best 
to 
look 
at 
them 
one 
at 
a 
time.

This 
module 
changes 
the 
tone 
color 
of 
the 
sound 
produced by 
the 
audio 
generators. 
It 
does 
so 
by 
adding 
or 
reducing 
the 
amounts 
of 
high 
frequencies 
present 
in 
the 
signal. 
This 
is 
controlled 
by 
the 
CUTOFF 
slider. 
In 
addition, 
EMPHASIS 
may 
be 
added 
to 
increase 
the 
effect 
of 
the 
filter's 
function, 
and 
the 
CUTOFF 
can 
be 
controlled 
further 
by 
the 
pedalboard 
and 
contour 
generator. 
EMPHASIS 
amplifies 
a 
narrow 
band 
of 
frequencies 
surrounding 
the 
cutoff 
point. 
Raise 
the 
AMOUNT 
slider 
to 
increase 
the 
effect 
of 
the 
contour 
on 
the 
filter 
CUTOFF. 
The 
KEYBOARD 
TRACK 
control 
may 
be 
adjusted 
from 
"0" 
(no 
effect 
of 
the 
notes 
played 
on 
the 
pedalboard 
is 
heard 
in 
the 
filter) 
to 
"1" 
(full 
control 
of 
the 
filter 
by 
the pedalboard). 
A 
great 
many 
unusual 
tone 
colors 
may 
be 
produced 
using 
the 
filter, 
and 
a 
complete 
understanding 
of 
its 
function 
will 
give 
you 
control 
over 
an 
almost 
infinite 
variety 
of 
musical sounds.
