Re: Moog Satellite

Ref tript and his picture / expectations, there is a company called Moog inc who are indeed involved in aerospace technology....so your idea is not actually as far-fetched as you might think. :shock: I stumbled on their web-site some years ago when looking for Moog Music - I just checked & they're ...

Re: moog repair in uk

Hi Steve, I can recommend Hammond Hire, who have premises in Islington and Coventry. They have considerable experience; chief technician Ron Lebar has over 40 years experience and repaired my Voyager not long ago. (www.hammondhire.com) I have also heard of further companies in the UK, namely www ...

Re: A misconception about the model D

Hi Guys; I may be barking up the wrong tree here - or more likely, just barking :wink: - but ref. Laxslash asking about giving a Voyager the same punch, you can certainly add some considerable extra punch using Oscillator Sync. with the Voyager. I have been doing this a lot. I dare say it is not ...

Re: Eurorack Moog?

Slightly off-piste I know, but talking jacks / jackfields etc., I am considering a modification to bring all patch bays around to the front on my system. (Voyager, 3x Foogers, CP 251, VX 351, trembling wallet & ideas above my station, so semo-modular at least!) As it is, all are on different plains ...

Re: Panic!

Thanks very much guys. I e-mailed tech. support earlier, so I'll see what they say when they get back to me. I've no idea what the time-difference is between here & the US - & I'll bet the charges are...um...interesting! Maybe I'll phone them Monday if they need more details. I saw the new synth on ...

Re: Panic!

Hi Eric - you are a star :D What a relief; a repair without a factory return. Thank you so much for your reply. I am certainly not tecnically clued up, but the instructions you included do not look that threatening, so I'll give it a go myself when I get the part. I'll contact tech. support & let ...

Panic!

Hi Guys,
There comes a time when it would actually be a relief to discover one has done something entirely stupid! My time has come :oops: :? I seem to have a fault on my Voyager, but I'm praying you will tell me I'm a daft old fool who has simply got something set up wrong... As far as I can make ...

Re: 808 Cymbals on the Voyager

Perhaps surprisingly for a lapsed drummer, I've yet to try making cymbals on a Voyager. But I have tried gongs and bells and they can be somewhat awkward, to say the least. Usually, it only sounds right for a limited number of notes. I'm fairly new to this myself, but there are a couple of good ...

Re: Minimoog service advice?

It might be worth trying to squirt your switch-cleaner in through the front, rather than drilling a hole in the back; assuming you can remove the control knob, just spray the solvent into the gap between the stalk the knob sits on and its sleeve, so to speak, using a the fine tube supplied with the ...

Re: Voyager Performer Edition

Hi, mate; I'm also from UK. Money certainly means something to me...but all it ever actually says to me is "goodbye".. My prices are from last year & so may not be accurate, but I got a good deal from Digital Village for my Performer, so give them a try if you haven't already. They have several ...

Goodness - it's going to take me a while to get through all this :D :D Meanwhile, I'm taking steps to order the Wendy Carlos CD, Jim Aikin's book & the Voyager DVD. My thanks to each and every one of you. Actually, this is all Wendy's fault in the first place! She lit a fuse back in '68 with S.O.B ...
