Subject: [Mellotronists] Taurus I


Can anyone send me the settings for a Taurus 1 patch for my mini-moog?

Well, I've never been able to adequately make my Mini sound like my Taurus.
Although the circuitry is allegedly the same, and someone at Moog once swore
blind that there's no sub-oscillator or anything, I can *not* accurately
reproduce that 'vrooom' noise! What's more, I can't make the Mini sound like
anything I can do with the Taurus' 'variable' setting, either (essentially a
cut-down Mini). The 'Taurus' preset is basically a filter-rich setting with
the envelope dropping off fairly quickly, then settling into a muted drone.
Maybe something like (filter envelope):

A: 4
D: 4
S: 2

although that could, of course, be totally wrong.  :-)  I'll try to get
round to setting them both up at some point to get those settings a little
more accurate.
