To get the best sound reproduction for Taurus II
Taurus II is a powerful monophonic synthesizer. Many of you will use it primarily for bass sounds, however it will produce
a wide range of pitch and tone color just like any other synthesizer. If you are going to use Taurus II for bass synth work only,
a bass amplification system will suffice. However, if you intend to continually use a variety of contrasting sounds, try to use
an amplification system which is designed for synths/keyboards. Your Moog dealer will be able to advise you on this subject.

Taurus II sound charts are line drawings of the instrument's front panel. Positions for placing toggle switches,
rotary controls and sliders are indicated by dots.
To help you remember your own front panel settings (patches) we have included two blank sound charts on page 18.
We suggest you photocopy them to have a supply of blanks. If you create a sound you wish to use again
(especially when you're experimenting or recording) write it down. You'd be surprised how easy it is to
forget that hot patch.
