Moog Taurus anyone?!

[>>>marjan<<<]

Hi 

there are 3 taurus models, taurus I is supposed to be fattest,
it has simple circuits, 2 linear vcos with cap fet reset and
ca3080 as comparator, moog ladder filter with ca3046 pairs
and ca 3080 coupler, simple 3080 vca, and 2 envelopes
one AR other AD each with 2 parameters control.
Full but fuzzy schem can be found at synthfool site,
Juergen Haible has made modules based on vcf/vca/envelope
section, he has schems also.
I've been interested in cloning this synth also, I have
some things on the paper, maybe I finish it in mont or two...
Taurus2 is totaly different and not considered so fat.
It's moog rogue synth circuitry (and front panel), limited
manipulation on 2 vcos, moog ladder (more circuitry than I)
one envelope, noise, lfo. Schems for rogue are at sdiy site.
I found this synt better for weird sounds than bass...

btw many nice synth pics at that site...
