Slew Rate Mod

[ColorForm2113]

I'm almost 100% certain I'm going to get the slew rate mod done to my Voyager, along with a couple other things, when I go to Ashville. does anyone here have some sound demos of before and after the mod ? I know there was a post up a while ago with some demos but they are not active links any more.
thanks!

Where did you see this?

Edit:
Nevermind. Is this a RL thing or will Moog do it and what is it supposed to do?

[Just Me]

Are you talking the filter glide mod?

[MC]

Ashville does the filter glide mod.

RL does the slew rate mod to the VCOs.

Neither performs the other's mods.

I talked to moog and they are doing the slew rate mod for brighter oscillators

[EricK]

So, what is the theory behind that?

Great thanks sunny! I will listen to these tonight when I get home

[sunny pedaal]

oke, just don't know anymore which is left and right but there was/is a notice on the page somewhere about the content.
curious to hear your opinion

[ColorForm2113]

to me the left channel sounds brighter and more direct. some of the bass sounds seem to have lost some of that swirly phasiness though...so im not sure now argh!...maybe i should just a bbe sonic maximizer, its not the exact same thing, but it gives similar results to what ive heard and read.

I searched that link and saw myself a few years ago asking the same question about the mod.

I also wish there were side by side comparisons rather than simultaneous ones.

just take a mixer , 2 channels , both mono , use channel on/off , that should be a bit like side by side comparison maybe ?
( or use an waveeditor program, cut/ paste and create a side by side version... )
i don't have a normal/unmodded voyager anymore here, so i can't make new test.
indeed i also found the modded version to be more direct, and more bright. tne unmodded seemed to have more base, but when volume is little adapted , almost all the bass comes back, with the extra ability of filtering the better mid/high range. overall the sound is "more differentiated, less muddy" with the modification.
i never regretted it, but anybody has to make a choice to it's taste afcourse.
succes !

Do you think its changed the low end in any way?

[sunny pedaal]

it does i think,
however the overall sound gets more direct in the face, and with some tweaking you can get good bass out of it.
the " muddiness" is swapped for "directness", which is different indeed. i think it gets more the character of the multimoog/ micromoog or even minimooglike. i never regreted it always thought the original voyager has something " holding back " in the sound, never hurting enough to me when wished, a bit too beautiful too little raw. but afcourse it's personal
