My wife just bought me a Moog Voyager

[solconnection]

Came home from work today, did the usual routine of going in to the studio/computer room to check my email and maybe do a bit of music and where the virus normally is was a big moog voyager sitting there with a ribbon on it!!! I think i jumped about 1 meter out of shock and soiled myself just a little Still not quite sure how she knew, but im very thankful at any rate its probably the best present ill ever get in my life

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on cool things to do with it, programming tricks, etc. Im particularly interested in doing some weird stuff with CV modulation, but not really sure where to start and what some cheap modulation sources are (or if i have anything i could use allready [have a ti and a pc]).

thanks in advance
have a nice day

...Wow! Congratulations Both on the wife and the synth! I do however not have a Voyager myself, so I have little to offer there. Do however doubt that you can use the TI for CV-stuff.. But I would think you have most of the parameters of the Voyager available for modulation over midi as well?

Best,
Alex

good point, yes i do believe you can control a great deal of it via CC messages, does it work out the same in terms of what you can normally do? or is CV more versatile?

thanks for the info again, you've been a great help.

ps. the voyager sounds SO stupidly good, i guess its a bit more limited than the virusTI in the types of sounds it makes, but what it does it does very well quirky, fat, warm goodness.

That is a seriously cool missus you have there, Dan!

That´s a nice wife you have there For CV modulation you can get a MIDI to CV/Gate converter. I have a Doepfer MCV4 MIDI to CV/Gate converter (for my SH-101 and my DIY synth) and that works fine. Here´s links to Doepfer: http://www.doepfer.de and Kenton: http://www.kentonuk.com/ that also makes MIDI to CV/Gate converters...

Thanks mate, thats most helpful information as flipside pointed out above i might not need it after all, but its handy to know such things exist

anyone know a good vst arp that can spit out midi CC's and not data..could be a ableton rack or logic au plug or even stand alone.?

have a nice day

My wife would NEVER buy me a Voyager, not because she wouldn't want me to have such a wonderful instrument, but because she would never see me again.

Just an update, after spending all night looking for a nice arp/seq/cc modulation source i found a nice program for OSX called 'numerology', check it out.

Dan, please, please for the love of all things sacred have your wife call my wife!



Congrats Bro, that's a seriously nice piece of kit and a wonderful gift.

Post a sample or two if you get a chance. It would be interesting (to me anyway) to hear a long Ti filter sweep Vs. on from your new Moog....

I did an A/B comparison of a resonator patch on my KC and my Motif ES Rack a few years ago and the KC blew the ES out of the water. I'll bet the Moog's got a bad ass filter.

Cheers!
