▪️Intro :
The Minimoog Voyager Rack Mount Edition takes all the mind-bending power of the Minimoog Voyager and packages it in a 19" package.
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.)
So many sounds to spark your creativity!

▪️General :
The Minimoog Voyager Rack Mount Edition Synthesizer is a monophonic (one note at a time) analog performance synthesizer housed in a 5U Rack Mount Enclosure. 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 a dual mode filter module, containing a dual Moog lowpass mode and a highpass/lowpass mode 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).
The digital functions of the Voyager allow for storage of presets, transmitting and reception of MIDI, and software upgrades via MIDI. The User Interface is a LCD display with variable contrast, +1/-1 and cursor buttons for navigation, an Enter button for executing functions, and 3 Mode functions for determining the operation mode of the Voyager. Master Mode allows access to Global Settings and Utilities; Edit Mode allows access to Items stored as a Preset, and performs the Save function; Panel Mode allows access to the presets and is the mode used for performance, as well as performance related features.
▪️Specs :
Oscillators Module
Three wide-range, high stability VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) with continuously variable waveforms.
* Two FREQUENCY controls vary the frequencies of Oscillators #2 and #3 over a +/-7 semitone range with respect to Oscillator #1.
* Three OCTAVE selectors set the frequency ranges of the oscillators in six octave steps.
* Three WAVE controls 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 KEYBOARD CONTROL switch disconnects Oscillator #3 from control by the keyboard CV, enabling it to function as a drone or a modulation source independent of the keyboard.
* 3 FREQ switch lowers the frequency of Oscillator #3 into the sub-audio range, enabling it to function as a low frequency audio or modulating oscillator.
Mixer Module
Five-input mixer for combining the audio sources prior to filtering. * Five Input Level controls adjust the relative levels of the oscillator, noise, and external audio input signals.
* Five Input switches 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 two Moog lowpass-resonant filters in parallel to stereo output or a highpass and lowpass-resonant filters in series, for highpass, bandpass, or lowpass filtering.
* CUTOFF control sweeps the frequencies of both filters throughout the audio range.
* SPACING control sets the spacing between the frequencies of the two lowpass filters or controls the frequency of the highpass filter, over a +/-3 octave range.
* RESONANCE control adjusts the resonance of both filters, from none to filter oscillation.
* KEYBOARD CONTROL AMOUNT control sets how much the filters open and close as the player presses different keys on the keyboard controlling the Voyager Rack Mount.
* DUAL LOWPASS/ HIGHPASS-LOWPASS switch selects between two lowpass filters in parallel or a lowpass and highpass filter in series.
Envelopes Module
The Envelopes Module generates two 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.
* Two ATTACK controls determine the attack times of the envelopes.
* Two DECAY controls determine the decay time constants of the envelopes.
* Two SUSTAIN controls determine the sustain levels of the envelopes.
* Two RELEASE controls 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 or by programmable envelope gate sources, including Keyboard Gate, S+H Gate (LFO), and MIDI Clock, allowing independent triggering of the two envelopes.
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 (50 times a second).
* SYNC selector selects LFO synchronization source to be from the keyboard gate, MIDI Clock, 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 PEDAL/ON bus.
* Two SOURCE selectors select the modulation source from the LFO waveforms, Oscillator# 3, the MOD2 Voltage, or a software selectable source whose default is noise.
* Two DESTINATION selectors select the modulation destination from the pitch of all the audio oscillators, just Oscillator #2, just Oscillator #3, the filter frequencies, the oscillator waveforms, or a software selectable destination whose default is LFO Rate.
* Two SHAPING selectors select the filter envelope, key pressure signal, key velocity or a software selectable source whose default is on to shape the modulation signal on that bus.
* Two AMOUNT controls set the overall modulation amount for each bus.
Output Module
* MASTER VOLUME control sets the overall level of the instruments audio outputs.
* HEADPHONE VOLUME control sets the overall level of the headphone output.
* HEADPHONES JACK: 1/4" tip-ring-sleeve phone jack for regular stereo 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.
Digital/ MIDI Implementation
Capabilities for OS Version 2.6 * 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 programs may be stored for instant recall. Presets are saved in EDIT mode.
* CONTROL OF FRONT PANEL PARAMETERS THROUGH MIDI: All front panel parameters except for fine tune and headphone volume are controllable through MIDI Control Change commands.
* TRANSMISSION OF FRONT PANEL SETTING VIA MIDI: Setting of all panel controls, selectors, and switches except for fine tune and headphone volume transmit MIDI Control Change Commands. Potentiometer controls transmit 14 bit CCs

▪️Presentation :
Voyager" is a surprising family of synths by Moog. These synths offer a much wider set of features and sound palette than the classic minimoog or the more modern Little/Slim Phatty. If you're used to thinking that Moog only offers "that" sound from the old progressive rock records, you're in for a big surprise when you first lay your hands on the Voyager RME.
First of all, Voyager RME offers dual filters. It's not instantly obvious by glancing at the knobs on the front panel, but if you look more closely, you'll notice the "Spacing" knob and "Mode" flip switch. Spacing knob controls the separation between the cutoff frequencies of the two filters. This allows you to fine-tune the tone of your sound to fit your mix/arrangement perfectly. Very handy! The Mode flip switch lets you select the filter mode between Dual LP and HP/LP. Dual LP filters the left and right audio channel separately with lowpass filters, letting you control the left/right frequency balance with the Spacing knob. This produces nice and wide stereo analogue textures. HP/LP mode puts the high pass and lowpass filters in series, creating an adjustable band width bandpass filter. Just like in the famous Oscar synth. This mode creates a mono signal. These two knobs alone let you create huge number of non-Moogy sounds you could never achieve on your minimoog.
The second thing that separates the Voyager RME from its little brothers are the extensive modulation options. The front panel gives you large number of ways to modulate all the usual suspects: oscillator pitch, filter frequency and so on. If you feel limited by the modulation options on the front panel, you can also dive into the menus where you will find tons of more modulation routing possibilities. In fact the options are so vast that I've only had the chance to use maybe 10% of them. Impressive. The downside is that navigating the menus can be a bit of a pain, but the results are usually worth it.
The third trick up the Voyager's sleeve are the expansion ports. You can buy VX-351 and VX-352 CV expander modules to turn your Voyager into a modular synthesizer. Unfortunately these modules concentrate only on the modulation routing and won't let you route the audio signal itself. This is a shame, but not a deal breaker. It still gives you a lot more modulation options and the capability to use external signals for modulation.
So how does it sound? In a word: good. Really good. Voyager is able to deliver those full, smooth and massive bass sounds the Moog is world famous for. Since this synth is no one trick pony, it can also deliver crunchy sounding FM bass sounds (yes, the synth lets you frequency modulate between the oscillators, as made famous by couple of top name dance music producers) as well as tons of other options. The oscillator sync also sounds quite unique and excellent, producing very usable sounds, especially in combination with the FM capabilities. What ever you do, the sounds always seem to be "alive" and don't sound static at all. Voyager definitely has it's own strong character which separates it from the other synths out there. If you want the Voyager sound, the other synths can't come even close. If - however - you're looking for a workhorse synth that delivers sounds that fit any occasion, the Voyager family of synths isn't probably for you.
The price tag might make you sweat, but when you look at the build quality and the modulation options this synth has, you'll realize that you have a quality product in your hands that has been built to last.
