Post Moog Taurus II Pedals preparing to install Cygnus Midi Adaptor

I'm very handy with tools and I am a technician so I can handle the installation. But I am not a keyboard player so I need some help. If anyone has any experience with these pedals, please post. Are these pedals normally open or closed? Basically i want to hook up a keyboard to the pedals using the Cygnus Midi Adaptor so I can use the different types of sounds from the keyboard ie: horns, synth etc. Is there a certain type of keyboard i should look for? or can i plug this into any kind? I know i can hook up to a PC but not looking to get that far into it. Any help/advice would be appreciated. Looking forward to getting this project started.

Hi,

I would think Taurus II pedals are normally open, but you can test them by using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Check our Install page for printable instructions and videos that may help.

The Cygnus MIDI Adapter should work fine for what you want to do. I would look for a keyboard with MIDI in/out and you can then MIDI your pedals to the keyboard and choose which sounds you like. What kind of keyboard, analog or digital, is up to you. Find one with some sounds you like, or better yet, sounds you can tweak to get just what you are looking for.

Do you only have the pedalboard and not the synth module that came with the Taurus II's?

Yes, connect the MIDI cable from the MIDI out port on the Cygnus MIDI Adapter to the MIDI in port on the keyboard or synth module you want to use.
