that would have been absolutely awesome and blown away everything in its path if it had pulsewave instead of square with a pulse width control....how could they have missed that ?

essential for techno bass. would be a deal breaker for me.

Where are you seeing the pulse width control? I don't even see where you can switch between waveforms.

i'm not, thats what i was saying, it should have one.

the waveform selection is the big yellow buttons i think

On the oscillators, it looks like you press in for saw and press out for square or vice-versa? Yeah, if there was a pulse wave there instead of the squares or 1 of the squares, that would have been cool, I guess maybe due to the original Taurus having saw and square?. Still, probably a solid little synth.

Is that a separate envelope for the filter section and can VCO 2 be tuned in semitones or is that cents? Man, if those 2 are available, I just got the 101 for a bit less money which doesn't feature either.

looks beautiful. probably puts my midi modded moog rogue to shame.

but you got pulsewidth control !

do you need to detune one VCO in anything more than cents for bass ? maybe only if it had FM.

but an octave switch would be good

ignore that, of course it would be good to have a tuneable second VCO
