The award winning Minimoog Voyager now in a 19 in. rack mount package.
Yes, that's right! Moog has taken all the mind-bending power of the Minimoog Voyager and packaged it in a 19 in. wide by 5U (8 3/4 in.) high package.
The package contains all the features of the Voyager plus switchable audio out (-2dBm unbalanced or +4dBm balanced 600 ohms). It also includes the Electric Blue back lit panel that Moog introduced with the Anniversary Edition Voyager.
What you don't get is the keyboard or the Voyager's touch surface. Match the Rack Mount Edition (or up to 15 of them!) up with your existing Voyager to achieve some serious polyphony. Or simply purchase a MIDI keyboard to control the Rack Mount Edition.
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.
V 2.5 Software Capabilities
Voyager Software developed by Rudi Linhard of Lintronics. www.lintronics.biz
Front Panel Storage and Recall
Except for the Fine Tuning control, the settings of all front panel controls, selectors, and switches are stored in the nonvolatile digital memory. A total of one hundred twenty eight front panel presets may be stored for instant recall.
Reception of Keyboard Data Via MIDI
The Voyager responds to note-on (0-127) messages monophonically with user defineable note priority. The Voyager's Front Panel Controls transmit and respond to MIDI CCs. Please refer to the Voyager User's Manual for a list of the Front Panel Controls and their corresponding MIDI CC#s.
Uploading and Downloading of Presets Via MIDI
Individual Presets or whole Preset banks may be uploaded and downloaded via MIDI System Exclusive.
Updating of Operating Software Via MIDI
The instrument's operating software can be updated via MIDI files (.syx Sysex files) which will be available on Moog Music's web site in the Support Docs and Software section.
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.
