When I finally decided to have one in my life, Matt McKible suggested all the things I would and could need with it. Instead, their outputs appear individually in the left and right channels. This eight–note polyphonic analogue has MIDI, knobs, a sequencer, patch memories and much more. And while you might not be inclined towardsa monosynth, the Sub 37's Duo Mode is an intriguing addition to the onboard sonics as opposed to a … You should not underestimate the value of this, because it makes it possible to apply what we would normally call pulse-width modulation to any of the available waveforms.Oscillators 2 (which also loses 'Lo') and Oscillator 3 (which does not) are similar, but add fine-tuning controls with a range of approximately ±7 semitones.
This suits my noodly style perfectly — but could be troublesome if you need fast, articulated phrasing. If he developed something with the Moog name, he wouldn't currently be able to export it outside the UK under that name, for the same reasons that Bob Moog can't use his name on products sold inside the UK.As a result, what is sold everywhere else in the world as the Moog Music Minimoog Voyager has to go by the name 'Voyager by Bob Moog' in the UK. Originally envisaged as a digital 'Tactex' device, this was beset by technical difficulties, so the final product was based on an old capacitative (ie. It is a monophonic and polyphonic synth.We find all that "missing" at the Old D "and many other things. Edit mode is a little more involved, with 13 options that concentrate on performance parameters and keyboard modes, while Panel mode has just four options, the most valuable of which is the one that allows you to see existing and edited parameter values as you tweak the controls.You would think that, with such a straightforward system, using the Voyager's menus would be a doddle. Given the reverence in which they are held, and the market that I'm sure exists for them, there's at least a reasonable chance that I'll be reviewing the 'Taurus Pedals by Bob Moog' sometime in the future.It's now time to disagree with the yobs on the net who state that the Voyager sounds "nothing like a real Minimoog".
Once upon a time we patiently learned to program our synthesizers with patch–book examples and cardboard overlays.
Somehow, and I don't know how, the Voyager has been imparted with that indefinable 'Moogyness'; that warm growl that always set the Minimoog and its modular forebears apart from the crowd.Being very picky, I found that some of the Voyager's waveforms were slightly brighter than the Minimoog's equivalents, requiring me to close the filter slightly to make them all-but indistinguishable from each other. Not even Bob Moog, it seemed, could please everyone.Well, the beardy types' wailing and gnashing of teeth can cease, because there's another new Moog in town — one that rejects all things digital. What's more, the position memory applies only to the values sent to the modulation busses, not the filter, so the cutoff frequency, spacing and resonance always jump when you take your finger off the pad. I wasn't particularly taken by the way the knobs are calibrated. It has been used on more records than any other synth in the world. This is, in part, a consequence of their prices; if a monophonic Voyager costs up to £3,000, what price an eight- or 16-voice version?That leaves one possibility that we know Bob Moog is already considering. If we peer into the future a little, the forthcoming MacBeth X–Factor promises to be a serious contender, and the Analogue Solutions Leipzig also looks interesting. You can do this by putting a dummy jack in the right socket, or by muting one channel in your mixer. The velocity sensitivity works well, but the aftertouch was far too aggressive for my tastes — it's more like an on/off switch than a progressive controller. Once this is fixed, I think more memories should be provided (especially given the price of RAM), because 128 seems mean by modern standards. However, this is compensated by the Voyager's provision of variable tracking, which is an improvement over the Minimoog's four options of zero, one third, two-thirds and three-thirds.Like the Minimoog, the Voyager has a Glide on/off switch to the left of the keyboard (see the picture on page 148), with a Glide Rate control just behind it. Surprisingly, they are all contained in the 25-way connector at the far left of the rear panel, and you can't access them without the VX351 CV Expander, which was not available as I wrote this review. $3,295. So you set up the sound, lean on the keyboard, and... nothing happens. At this point my nostalgia transferred briefly to the dawn of MIDI: the solution to exactly this kind of voltage incompatibility. On the negative side, it will not send pressure information, and there is no transposition capability so, if you want to use it to play existing drum maps... you can't. It is highly streamlined and offers all the functionality of a modern day (mono)synth with the classic, warm, unforgettable Moog sound. The Voyager's ARP and Korg impressions are just as interesting as its imitations of vintage Moogs, and I'm sure that — together with the VX351, the CP251, and other, as-yet-unseen modules — the Voyager could also form the core of a powerful modular synthesis system.And that, perhaps, is the bottom line. It's a bit of a luxury for me but I've made many cool sounds with it and I wouldn't want to be without one.I would love to give the Voyager a five-star rating; in fact, if I were considering only the sound and the features, I could easily do it. In principle, this should allow you to integrate the instrument fully into a modern studio or live rig.
Although not available at the time of this review, the plan at the time of writing was to release it in May.The attractive illuminated Pitch and Mod wheels are standard on the Signature Edition used for this review, but not on the 'ordinary' Performer Edition. Actually, if I had to name just one thing that genuinely bugged me, it's those 'default' patch markings. When founder Robert Moog was designing the Voyager, his concept was to give a single played note the best tonal shaping capabilities possible, and if this would of been done polyphonic-wise, the architecture of the controls on the Voyager would have not been possible. Again, this is equivalent to the Minimoog layout.Underneath the eight oscillator knobs, you'll find four switches. Upgrade 10 promises to make it possible to transpose the MIDI output from the Voyager's 44-note keyboard, so that you can use it as a MIDI controller over a much wider range.
