Zodiak Taurus is not your grandparents' octavizer. Zodiak Taurus is a mammoth multi-voice beast that takes the puniest tone and turns it into full frontal sonic assault. Slap it on your guitars, drums, bass, vocals, or even your keyboards. Then let Taurus elevate your sound. Taurus generates five independent voices — or reconstructions — of your input signal in realtime. These voices together span a whopping five octaves. With a few tweaks, you can double track your guitar, add a bass, a sub bass, and even a high frequency overtone. The result is a big, spacious sound that covers the whole stereo field. But that’s only the beginning, because this is a Zodiak effect. To sweeten the pot, each Taurus voice features its very own saturation stage (tuned specifically for it); a detune control for obtaining non-octave intervals or even natural chorus or ADT effects; a regenerative delay stage that can be used for staggering the voices, changing their timbre, or even causing them to self oscillate; an attack envelope that can have each voice fade in at different rates; a tuned EQ submodule, as well as stereo panning and other parameters — all collected in a familiar mixer-like interface. Newly developed algorithms deliver crystal clear signal reconstruction, and operate so efficiently that Taurus is as responsive when playing live as it is well-behaved in the studio. A special post-FX module includes cabinet simulators, room emulation, variable EQ, and compression to produce an easy to use, all-in-one audio solution. Zodiak Taurus also works as an AUv3 effects plugin on your iPad, iPhone, and Silicon Mac computer. It comes with over 60 factory presets to start you off in your journey, as well as many other advanced features like patch save/share, MIDI learn, and more. The latest offering in Yonac’s new Zodiak series of effects, Taurus is jam packed with sonic easter eggs. Whether your goal is to emulate diverse instruments, create enormous walls of sound, or paint complexly layered psychedelic soundscapes, Taurus has a roadmap for you somewhere across its controls.
