Hi guys,
I have a Voyager Performer Edition, bought new last year, mint conditions. All of a sudden the glide does not work anymore: what can it be? Switch works fine (can see it turning ON / OFF on display) but when ON then the pitch remains constant across the whole keyboard. Can this be a software issue or some condenser just gone bad? Any Panel / Master setting I may have changed and stored wrong values with? Should I reset the machine? Basically any patch using glide will play the same note, same pitch on all keys, no matter what key I press. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Cheers!

Well, nobody?

I can only suggest you contact Moog Music about it, via e-mail (or phone). Since this isn't normal behavior and would be indicative of a possibly defective glide circuit indeed.

Well I tried but no answer yet. The glide has just died. Turning the knob will show values on the display so it's really puzzling. But yes, maybe the analog board, who knows. I admit not having used the Voyager for a few weeks actually, then all of a sudden I switched it on and that's it, no glide. Needless to say I'm in Europe and I'd like to avoid sending the instrument over to the US...

Make sure all he connectors are fully seated in the left hand controller section and in back. Unplug it first, of course.

Ok I'll try that even though the glide switch and knob are perfectly responsive. Also no answer from Moog yet: if only I were into spiritism it would be probably quicker to get in touch with Bob himself.

You tested it with absolutely no midi cable connected?
It is the same even on the init patch?
What software version is running on your Voyager?

Been in touch with Moog support; it looks like this will need a repair as one op-amp on the analog board is most likely the root cause.
