The Minimoog Voyager Rack Mount Edition takes all the mind-bending power
of the Minimoog Voyager and packages it in a 19" wide by 5U (8 3/4")
high package, which is designed for rack-mount or table-top use.
The Voyager Rack Mount Edition contains all the synthesis functions of
the award-winning Voyager. It also includes the Electric Blue back lit
panel that we introduced with the Anniversary Edition Voyager, complete
with front panel brightness control. A new feature is the switchable
output mode. A slider switch on the rear panel selects -2dBm unbalanced,
floating outputs, or +4 dBm, 600 Ohm electronically balanced outputs
for professional applications. Also new is the Input Accessory Port, for
CV/Gate Inputs.
The Voyager Rack Mount Edition can be controlled completely through
MIDI. All front panel controls transmit and receive MIDI Continuous
Controller messages. Match the RME (or up to 16 of them!) up with your
existing Voyager to achieve some serious polyphony.
The Rack Mount Edition is now available from Moog Dealers.
Now, all Rack Mount Editions will have the upgraded software and
hardware to allow the player 7 banks of 128 presets and the following
capabilities:
The External Mixer knob (just right of the display panel) has a dual
function that allows you to rapidly change presets as opposed to
continuously punching the cursor buttons.
MIDI Enhancements:
- Allows you to send either 7 or 14 bit resolution from the Mod Wheel.
- Optionally reduces the amount of MIDI data being sent from the Touch
Surface.
(These changes enable the Voyager to work better with older MIDI
equipment.)
Oscillators Module
3 wide-range, high stability VCO's (Voltage
Controlled Oscillators) with continuously-variable waveforms.
Frequency
-- controls (2) vary the frequencies of Oscillators #2 and #3 over a
+/-7 semitone range with respect to Oscillator #1.
Octave --
selectors (3) set the frequency ranges of the oscillators in six octave
steps.
Wave -- controls (3) provide continuous control over the
waveforms of the oscillators, from triangular, to sawtooth, to square,
to narrow rectangular.
1-2 Sync -- switch synchronizes the
Oscillator #2 waveform to the frequency of Oscillator #1, for dramatic
timbral effects.
3-1 FM -- switch provides linear frequency
modulation of Oscillator #1 by Oscillator #3.
3 KB Cont -- switch
disconnects Oscillator #3 from control by the keyboard, thereby
enabling it to function as a drone.
3 Freq -- switch lowers the
frequency of Oscillator #3 into the sub-audio range, thereby enabling it
to function as a low frequency audio or modulating oscillator.
Mixer
Module
5-input mixer for combining the audio sources prior to
filtering.
Input Level controls (5) -- adjust the relative levels
of the oscillator, noise, and external audio input signals.
Input
switches (5) -- enable the player to quickly switch individual audio
signals in and out.
External Level LED -- enables the player to
set the correct external audio signal level.
Filters Module
Dual
mode filter module includes dual lowpass and highpass-lowpass
filtering. Dual lowpass mode consists of 2 Moog lowpass-resonant filters
in parallel, 1 per output channel. Highpass-lowpass mode consists of
Moog lowpass filter in series with a highpass filter.
Cutoff --
control sweeps the frequencies of both filters throughout the audio
range.
Spacing -- control sets the spacing between the
frequencies of the two filters, over a +/-3 octave range.
Resonance
-- control adjusts the resonance of both filters, from none (pure
lowpass response) to filter oscillation.
KB Cont Amount --
control sets how much the filters open and close as the player presses
different keys on the keyboard.
Dual Lowpass/Highpass-Lowpass
switch selects between dual lowpass operation or highpass-lowpass
operation.
Envelopes Module
The Envelopes Module
generates 2 wide-range ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release) envelopes.
The Filter Envelope sweeps the filter and is available for modulation
shaping. The Volume Envelope shapes the overall volume.
Attack --
controls (2) determine the attack times of the envelopes.
Decay
-- controls (2) determine the decay time constants of the envelopes.
Sustain
-- controls (2) determine the sustain levels of the envelopes.
Release
-- controls (2) determine the release time constants of the envelopes.
Amount
to FIlter -- control determines how much the filter envelope will open
and close the filter, from full negative (inverted envelope) to full
positive (non-inverted envelope).
Envelope Gate Switch -- selects
whether the envelopes will be triggered by the keyboard, on , or by an
externally-applied gate.
LFO Module
Low Frequency
Oscillator generates triangular, square, Sample & Hold, and smoothed
Sample & Hold waveforms for use as modulating signals.
Rate
-- control sets the LFO rate over the range 0.2 Hz (one cycle every five
seconds) to 50 Hz (fifty times a second).
Sync -- selector
selects LFO synchronization source to be from the keyboard gate,
external envelope gate, external gate, or off (no synchronization).
Rate
LED -- provides visual indication of the LFO rate.
Modulation
Busses Module
Selects the sources, destinations, and shaping
signals for the Mod Wheel bus and the EXT Pedal/On bus.
Source --
selectors (2) selects the modulation source from the LFO triangle or
square waveforms, Oscillator# 3, sample and hold, the external
modulation input (MOD2) or noise.
Destination -- selectors (2)
selects the modulation destination from all the audio oscillators, just
Oscillator #2, just Oscillator #3, the filter cutoff frequencies, the
oscillator waveforms, or LFO Rate.
Shaping -- selectors (2)
selects the key pressure signal, filter envelope, note-on velocity or on
to shape the modulation signal on that bus.
Amount -- controls
(2) sets the overall modulation amount for each bus.
Output
Module
Master Volume -- control sets the overall level of the
instrument's audio outputs.
Headphone Volume -- control sets the
overall level of the headphone output.
Headphones Jack -- 1/4 in.
tip-ring-sleeve phone jack for regular headphones.
Glide and
Fine Tune Module
Glide -- varies the speed at which the keyboard
voltage changes, from instantaneous to several seconds.
Fine Tune
-- adjusts the overall tuning of the instrument.
Panel Mode
Features
Panel Mode features include Compare, Quick Mode (Preset
changes with +/-1 buttons), Parameter Display (view stored paramter
value, current parameter value), and enable/disable preset Master and
Headphone Volume.
Edit Mode Features
Related to Preset
Parameters not on Front Panel, these include: Compare tp Preset, Recall
last Sound, Real Panel Control, Pitch Bend Amount, Programmable Mod Buss
Sources, Destinations and Shaping, Keyboard and Trigger Modes, FIlter
Pole Select, Envelope Gate Source, Touch Surface Destinations, Touch
Surface Memory, Pot Mapping Mod. Matrix, LFO MIDI Clock Divider,
Initialize Parameters, Preset Name, and Save Preset.
Pedal/Control
Inputs
These 10 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
Evelopes Rate
LFO Rate
LFO
Sync
A footswitch or gateapplied 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.
Left(Mono) and Right Audio Outputs
The
audio outputs are 1/4 in. unbalanced outputs. The 2 output channels are
summed to mono when only the left(mono) output is used. Switchable
audio out-2dBm unbalanced or +4dBm balanced 600 Ohms.
MIDI In,
Thru, and Out Connectors
Standard MIDI connectors for
interfacing with other MIDI gear.
Power Input
The
Voyager's power input accepts a standard power cable. The Voyager works
from 100-250 VAC, 50-60 Hz.

Author: MikeyD Ok to start it is a Moog, so you know it is going to be well made, which when you spend this kind of money is very important. To me this is the only thing if you are interested in creating original, analog tones for your music. I have been using Moog products for years and with this one I wrote a lot of tracks with this as both the many instruments it can be and as the lead, of course it goes without saying that the sound effects uses are endless as well. If creating new sounds that separate you from the masses is your bag then this is the item for you! A+
