View Full Description

The MINIMOOG' VOYAGER Synthesizer is a monophonic (one note at a time) analog performance synthesizer. It incorporates virtually all of the sound resources and functions of the original Model D Minimoog, which was produced by Moog Music, Inc. from 1970 to 1982. It has many new additional features, including a three dimensional touch surface, MIDI IN and MIDI OUT implementation, extensive patching facilities, and a large number of new panel features.

The Minimoog Voyager Performer Edition is the traditional Minimoog Voyager. It is housed in a rugged steel chassis that is secured in a stunning, custom finished ash cabinet. It is fitted with a top of the line, 44-key Fatar keybed and comes stock with cool grey pitch/mod wheels. *Blue Pitch and Mod Wheels (pictured) are available as an upgrade ($99).

The signal path starts with a bank of three wide-range, high-stability voltage controlled oscillators, one noise source, and one audio preamplifier for externally-applied audio signals. The sound modifiers are two Moog filters and one stereo VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier). Modulation sources are two ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release) envelope generators and one multiwaveform LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator).Control devices include a 44-key keyboard with velocity and afterpressure outputs, pitch bend and modulation wheels, a three dimensional touch surface, and many control/pedal input jacks.

Player Control Interfaces

44 KEY KEYBOARD produces Pitch, Gate, Velocity, and Pressure control outputs.

WHEELS: Pitch Wheel bends pitch over a range of up to +/-1 octave. Mod wheel controls the gain of the MOD WHEEL bus.

GLIDE & RELEASE switches provide real-time on-off control over the glide and release functions.

THREE DIMENSIONALTOUCH SURFACE provides three continuously-variable control signals which are derived from the up-down and left-right position of the player's finger, and the amount of area with which the player makes contact to the surface.

Rear Jack Panel

Pedal/Control Inputs

These ten jacks have red nuts. They accept either expression pedals or control voltages, and control the following performance parameters:

VOLUME

PAN

FILTER CUTOFF

WAVEFORM

PITCH

MOD2 - EXTERNAL MODULATION SOURCE

MOD1 - EXTERNAL CONTROL OF THE PEDAL MOD. BUS

SAMPLE AND HOLD IN

ENVELOPES RATE

LFO RATE

Accessory Port

The Accessory port delivers the Control Voltage and gate signals generated inside the Voyager to a standard DB-25 connector. This is designed for use with the VX-351 Voyager CV Expander.

LFO Sync

A footswitch or gate applied to this input will reset the LFO waveform to the beginning of its cycle.

Envelopes Gate

A footswitch or gate applied to this input will start the envelopes.

Sample and Hold Gate

A gate signal applied to this jack will trigger a new sample and hold voltage.

Release

Foot switch plugged into this jack will have the same effect as depressing the corresponding switch on the left hand controller panel.

Mixer Ext In

Plug any instrument-level or line-level audio signal in this jack to combine with the oscillator and noise signals prior to filtering.

Mix Out/Filter Audio In

The output of the audio mixer appears here, before being fed to the filter. Normally, the Mixer output is bridged directly to the filter input. If you plug something into this jack, that breaks the normal connection. Using a standard insert cable (1/4" TRS plug to two 1/4" TS plugs) this jack can be used as an effects loop for external processing of the Mix before it goes to the filter.

MIDI In, Thru, and Out Connectors

Standard MIDI connectors for interfacing with other MIDI gear.

Dimensions and Weight:
