TAURUS

GUITAR-1

VIOLIN

With

the

unit

connected

and

power

ON,

a

sound

can

be

heard

when

a

note

on

the

keyboard

is

struck,

even

though

no

voices

are

selected

and

all

slide

controls

are

set

at

"0"

(except

for

the

The

controls

described

herein

will

add and

subtract

from

that

sound

in

a

multitude

of

combinations

available

for

your

exploration

-

shape

it,

change

its

attack

and

release,

raise

it,

or

lower

it.

We

suggest

that

you

play

a

phrase

or

two

with

each

of

the

twelve

"QUICK-SET"

VOICE

TABS

conveniently

located

on

the

front

of

the

unit.

Try

each

with

all

the

slide

controls

set

at

"0"

(except

for

VOLUME).

Exact

setting

of

slide

controls

for

any

particular

effect

will

depend,

not

only

on

your

musical

taste,

but

also

on

your

complete

electronic

reproduction

system

including

amplifiers,

speakers

and

other

components.

NOTE:

If

more

than

one

"QUICK-SET"

Voice

Tab

is

depressed

at

the

same

time

the

sound

will

be

that

controlled

by

the

Voice

Tab

farthest

to

the

left.

MUTE

This

voice

is

a

new

version

of

the

wah-wah

effect.

The

sound

approximates

a

double-acting

wah-wah,

or

"ooo-wah-ooo."

It

starts

with

an

emphasis

on

the

"lows",

moves

to

the

"highs"

and

returns.

Each

time

a

key

is

depressed

the

"ooo-wah-ooo"

sound

is

produced.

Try

it

in

each

octave.

TRUMPET

The

sounds

of

a

trumpet,

trombone,

or

tuba can

be

approximated

by

selecting

this

tab,

and

varying

it

with

other

controls.

Characteristic

of

this

voice

(and

some

of

the

other

"Quick-Set"

voices)

is

a

built-in

timbre

change

which

is

faster

in

the

upper

octaves

and

is

automatically

slower

in

the

lower

octaves

•

much

as

the attack

of

a

tuba

differs

from

that

of

a

trumpet.

This

attention to

the

authentic

details

of the

attack

in

different

octaves

is

a

unique

feature

of

the

Minitmoog.

Try

it

in

each

octave

setting.

OBOE

This

voice

provides

a

sound

similar

to

that

of

a

double

reed. In

the

top

octave

the

sound

is

oboe-like.

In

the

lower

octaves,

the

sound

of

a

bassoon

is

approximated.

You

will

note

a

slight

timbre

change

in

the

onset

of

the

tone

and

a

slow

attack.

CLARINET

The

hollow

reed

sound

and

the

soft

attack

of

the

traditional

clarinet

and

bass

clarinet

are

characteristic

of

this

voice

-

an

excellent

voice

in

all

octave

registers.

SAX

This

full

bodied

reed

sound

is

unique

to

the

Minitmoog.

It

combines

some

of

the

qualities

of

a

double

reed

wind

instrument

with

those

of

a

pipe

organ

with

a

little

sax

ophone

added.

In

the

lowest

registers,

it is

an

excellent

reproduction

of the

sound-

of

the

sarrusophone,

a

wind

instrument

popular

in

bands

of

the

early

1900's.

TAURUS

This

voice

approximates

that

of

a

saxophone.

With

adjustment

of

other

controls

you

will

be

able

to vary

the

und

through

the

characteristics

of

alto

and

tenor,

bari-

ne,

and

bass

sounds

of

the

Taurus

Synthesizer.

VIOLIN

This

gentle

voice

with

its

slow

attack

can

be

made

to

simulate

violin,

viola,

cello,

and

even

some

of the

sounds

of

the

bass

violin.

GUITAR-1

This

sound

is

quite

percussive

with

a

lingering

decay.

It

is

most

useful

for

creating

guitar-like

or

harpsichord-

type

effects,

including

that

of

a

folk

guitar.

PIANO

In

the

upper

registers

this

voice

is

that

of

an

electronic

piano.

In

the

lower

registers

it

provides

an

interesting

sound

similar

to

that

of

an

electric

bass

guitar.

AIRES

Banjo

type

sounds

are

provided

with

the

hollow

sound

characteristic

of

this

voice.

In

the

lower

registers

it

can

simulate

the

plucked

sound

of

the

string

bass,

or

bass

violin.

GUITAR

-2

In

the

upper

octaves

a

fine

bell

sound

is

provided

by

this

voice.

In

the

lower

octaves,

the

huge

sound

of

a

large

carillon

can

be

reproduced.

LUNAR

This

versatile

voice

perhaps

is

most

characteristic

of

the

Moog

sounds.

It

provides,

in

its

various

adjust

ments,

a

wide

variety

of

timbre

changes

with

which

you

can

produce

many

popular

electronic

"Moog"

sound

effects.

It

is

most

effective

when

used

with

provide

a

of

modulation

types.

The

two

MODULATION

slide

controls

on

the

slide

control

panel

adjust

the

RATE

and

DEPTH

of

modulation.

VIB

(VIBRATO)

This

tab

provides

a

frequency-modulation

vibrato

simi

lar

to

the

type used

in

electronic

organs.

However,

the

wide

range

of

effects

offered

by

the

two

slide

controls

extends

the

capability

of

this

effect

far

beyond

vibrato

and

into

the

realm

of

the

synthesizer.

When

the

VIB

tab

is

depressed,

the

basic

frequency

of

a

note

is

varied

(or

"wiggled")

to

a

degree

determined

by

the

DEPTH

control

and

at

a

rate

determined

by

the

RATE

control.

RATE

The

rate

of

modulation

may

be

varied

from

approx-

ately

one

second

at

"0"

to

a

rate

so

fast

that

at

10"

the

sound

becomes

a

buzz.

However,

even

at

ex

treme

settings,

the

basic

character

of

the

"QUICK-SET"

voices

is

still

apparent.

For

instance,

MUTE,

with

VIB

plus

RATE

at

10

becomes

a

BUZZ-WAH

type

of

effect.

With

slower

settings

it

is

easy

to

obtain

the

effect

of

trills

between

notes,

regardless

of the voice

selected.

DEPTH

This

control

adjusts

the degree

or

intensity

of

modu

lation.

For

vibrato

(VIB),

increasing

DEPTH

corresponds

to

greater

frequency

variation.

This

frequency

variation

may

be

adjusted

from

less

than

one-half

step

(on

the

scale)

to

more

than

one

octave.

For

tremulant

(TREM),

increasing

DEPTH

corresponds

to

greater

timbre

variation.

This

flexibility,

combined

with

the

RATE

control,

makes

possible

synthesis

of

such

effects

as

"out

of

tune"

strings,

huge

bells

whose

clanging

sounds

interfere

with

each

other,

quarter

tone

scales,

trumpet

"shake"

effects,

and

a

myriad

of

others.

TREM

(TREMULANT)

This

tab

provides

modulation

of

the

harmonic

content

of

the

tone.

The

harmonic

content,

or

timbre,

is

varied

at

a

rate

determined

by

the

RATE

control

and

with

an

intensity

determined

by

the

DEPTH

control.

NOTE:

VIB

and

TREM

can

be

used

together.

SYNC

tab

is

only

active

when

is

also

down.

Raises

pitch

B

tone

oscillators

up

to

an

interval

of

at

least

seven

semitones

when

a

key

is

harder.

FILTER

This

tab

adds

familiar

Moog

most

voices

when

MUTE

BRASS

This

voice

is

a

new

version

of

the

wah-wah

effect.

The sound

approximates

a

double-acting

wah-wah,

.or

"ooowah-ooo."

It

starts

with

an

emphasis

on

the

"lows",

moves

to

the

"highs"

and

returns.

Each

time

a

key

is

depressed

the

"ooo-wah-ooo"

sound

is

pro

duced.

Try

it

in

each

octave.

OPEN

BRASS

The

sounds

of

a

trumpet,

trombone,

or

tuba

can

be

approximated

by

selecting

this

tab,

and

varying

it

with

other

controls.

Characteristic

of

this

voice

(and

some

of

the

other

"Quick-Set"

voices)

is

a

built-in

timbre

change

which

is

faster

in

the

upper

octaves

and

is

automatically

slower

in

the

lower

octaves

—

much

as

the

attack

of

a

tuba

differs

from

that

of

a

trumpet.

This

attention

to

the

authentic

details

of

the

attack

in

different

octaves

is

a

unique

feature

of

the

Satellite.

Try

it

in

each

octave

setting.

THIN

REED

This

voice

provides

a

sound

similar

to

that

of

a

double

reed.

In

the

top

octave

the

sound

is

oboe-like.

In

the

lower

octaves,

the

sound

of

a

bassoon

is

approximated.

You

will

note

a

slight

timbre

change

in

the

onset

of

the

tone

and

a

slow

attack.

HOLLOW

REED

The

hollow

reed

sound

and

the

soft

attack

of

the

raditional

clarinet

and

bass

clarinet

are

character

istic

of

this

voice

-

an

excellent

voice

in all

octave

registers.

FULL REED

This

full

bodied

reed

sound

is

unique

to

the

Satellite.

It

combines

some

of

the

qualities

of

a

double

reed

wind

instrument

with

those

of

a

pipe

organ

with

a

little

saxophone

added.

In

the

lowest

registers,

it

is

an

excellent

reproduction

of

the

sound

of

the

sarrusophone,

a

wind

instrument

popular

in

bands

of

the

early

1900's.

BRIGHT

REED

This

voice

approximates

that

of

a

saxophone.

With

adjustment

of

other

controls

you

will

be

able

to

vary

the

sound

through

the

characteristics

of

alto

and

tenor,

baritone,

and

even

bass

saxophone.

BOW

STRING

This

gentle

voice

with

its

slow

attack

can

be

made

to

simulate

violin,

viola,

cello,

and

even

some

of

the

sounds

of

the

bass

violin.

PLUCK

STRING

This

sound

is

quite

percussive

with

a

lingering

decay.

It

is

most

useful

for

creating

guitar-like

or

harpsichord-type

effects,

including

that

of

a folk

guitar.

STRIKE

STRING

In

the

upper

registers

this

voice

is

that

of

an

electronic

piano.

In

the

lower

registers

it

provides

an

interesting

sound

similar

to

that

of

an

electric

bass

guitar.

PICK

STRING

Banjo

type

sounds

are

provided

with

the

hollow

sound

characteristic

of

this

voice.

In

the

lower

registers

it

can

simulate

the

plucked

sound

of

the

string

bass,

or

bass

violin.

BELL

In

the

upper

octaves

a

fine

bell

sound

is

provided

by

this

voice.

In

the

lower

octaves,

the

huge

sound

of

a

large

carillon

can

be

reproduced.

LUNAR

This

versatile

voice

perhaps

is

most

characteris

tic

of

the

Moog

sounds.

It

provides,

in

its

various

adjustments,

a

wide

variety

of

timbre

changes

with

which

you

can

produce

many

popular

electronic

"Moog"

sound

effects.

It

is

most

effective

when

used

with

SUSTAIN.

VIBRATO

The

four

function

tabs

labeled

MODULATION

on

the

front

of

the

unit

provide

a

selection

of

modulation

types.

The

two

MODULATION

slide

controls

on

the

slide

control

panel

adjust

the

RATE

and

DEPTH

of

modulation.

VIB

(VIBRATO)

This

tab

provides

a

frequency-modulation

vibrato

similar

to

the

type

used

in

electronic

organs.

However,

the

wide

range

of

effects

offered

by

the

two

slide

controls

extends

the

capability

of

this

effect

far

beyond

vibrato

and

into

the

realm

of

the

synthesizer.

When

the

VIB

tab

is

depressed,

the

basic

frequency

of

a

note

is

varied

(or

"wiggled")

to

a

degree

deter

mined

by

the

DEPTH

control

and

at

a

rate

determined

by

the

RATE

control.

RATE

The

rate

of

modulation

may

be

varied

from

approx

imately

one second

at

"0"

to

a rate

so

fast

that

at

"10"

the

sound

becomes

a

buzz.

However, even

at

extreme

settings,

the

basic

character

of

the

"QUICK

SET"

voices

is

still

apparent.

For

instance,

MUTE

BRASS,

with

VIB

plus

RATE

at

10

becomes

a

BUZZ-WAH

type

of

effect.

With

slower

settings

it

is

easy

to

obtain

the

effect

of

trills

between

notes,

regardless

of

the

voice

selected.

DEPTH

This

control

adjusts

the

degree

or

intensity

of

modulation.

For

vibrato

(VIB),

increasing

DEPTH

corresponds

to

greater

frequency

variation.

This

frequency

variation

may

be

adjusted

from

less

than

one-half

step

(on

the

scale)

to

more

than

one

octave.

For

tremulant

(TREM),

increasing

DEPTH

corresponds

to

greater

timbre

variation.

This

flexibility,

combined

with

the

RATE

control,

makes

possible

synthesis

of

such

effects

as

"out

of

tune"

strings,

huge

bells

whose

clanging

sounds

interfere

with

each

other,

quarter

tone

scales,

trumpet

"shake"

effects,

and

a

myriad

of

others.

TREM

(TREMULANT)

This

tab

provides

modulation

of

the

harmonic

content

of

the

tone.

The

harmonic

content,

or

timbre,

is

varied

at

a

rate

determined

by

the

RATE

control

and

with

an

intensity

determined

by

the

DEPTH

control.

NOTE:

VIB

and

TREM

can

be

used

together.

REP

(REPEAT)

The

repeat

tab

affects

only

those

"QUICK

-

SET"

voices

which

have

built-in

timbre

changes.

The

timbre

change

associated

with

a

specific

voice

will

be

repeated

over

and

over

again

at

a

speed

controlled

by

the

RATE

slide

control.

This

is

easily

demonstrated

by

depressing

MUTE

BRASS,

REP,

OCTAVE

1

and

2,

and

setting

RATE

at

0.

Play

a

sustained

tone,

then

slowly

move

the

slide

control

to

10

and

return,

while

sustaining

the

tone.

NOTE:

The

DEPTH

slide

control

has

no

effect

on

the

REP

function.

\\s\rui

This

control

provides

a

most

versatile

tool

in

achieving

the

distinctive

sounds

associated

with

the

MOOG

synthesizer.

It

affects

the

type

of

modu

lation

obtained

by

two

of

the

other

MODULATION

functions,

VIBRATO

and

TREMULANT.

When

this

tab

is in

the

up

position,

VIB

and

TREM

are

with

a

square-wave

putioui.

The

variation

of

frequency

(VIB),

or

variation

ol

timbres

(TREM),

will

be

very

abrupt

and

choppy.

with

discon

tinuities.

With

VIB,

for

instance,

a

defmiiivn

variation

in

frequency

can

be

obtained,

like

a

trill

When

+1/1

rut

is

depressed,

a

sine

wave

type

of

modulation

is

obtained

which

provides

a

smooth

variation

of

timbre

or

frequency

-

almost

a

glissando.

The

difference

between

the

two

effects

is

easily
