This guy has a great Taurus 1 page which I'm sure many of you have already visited. There are some choice Taurus 1 clips and my fav is the filter sweep sound, just wondering offhand what you would do to best reproduce this on a Taurus III? I'm out of town right now and can't get to my pedals to play around with them so just casting a net here. Sounds a bit like the Gordon patch but not quite the same. Chime in!

Re: Filter Sweep sound
I posted a few patches under the pictures section on the T-3 website, and my "Tom Sawyer" patch sounds very close to this, with a slightly higher "emphasis" setting. Program & run my patch through a delay pedal & a chorus pedal and presto - you have the Oberheim sweep sound used for the song's famous intro. Give 'er a try & let me know what you think.

Yes, on Taurusbass.com. Go to the Owner"s Gallery, then go to Images, and it will be the 2nd picture posted by superd2112. It depicts a chart with all the synth parameters - simply adjust as shown. You will need to run this particular patch through a delay & chorus to get the exact "Tom Sawyer" tone, but it sounds cool even without effects.
While you're at it, give the "Limelight" patch (my 1st posted image) a try - you will recognize the sound as used on many older Rush songs, and it's a great patch to play when playing bass guitar - a cool higher-octave string type sound that fills songs out nicely, without stepping on the guitar, bass or vocals.
