FET-Based Integrator Oscillator On T3?

I was just doing a bit of reading about the Taurus (1)on Wiki and noticed this one feature/comment on the T1. Does my T3 have this same feature?

The Taurus I’s FET-based integrator oscillator and classic Moog 24dB/Oct Low Pass Filter produce a unique, edgy, penetrating timbre which is not exactly duplicated by any other instrument and is widely regarded for its extremely rich, “fat” sound, which is oftentimes more felt than heard when greatly amplified.

You can’t always trust wikipedia.

The Taurus oscillator is a charged cap architecture like almost every other VCO design (triangle core is the other design). The only purpose of the FET is to reset the charging action once it reaches a threshold (essentially the ramp waveform) and it has zero effect on the timbre. And the wikipedia article completely omits the OTAs and the AC coupling between VCF/VCA having an impact on the Taurus timbre.

There are so many myths surrounding the Taurus sound, and now the internet allows us to publish it as fact. :mrgreen:

The thing to consider, is that whatever is making the Taurus sound, it is all replicated in the Taurus 3 as the circuit design on the analogue side has all been copied from the original, albeit with newer components and manufacturing techniques, which lead to a slightly different sound.
