I discovered this way two MIDI improvements of the 2022 reissue over the 2016 one:
- The modulation wheel transmits MIDI
- It is possible to set different MIDI channels for in and out.

There may be others.


I hope that will be possible to the 2016 ReIssue as well through updating the MODI ...

I had my power supply replaced after just one year. Possibly it could be the same issue as with your power supply but I never checked, just checked if some fuse was blown. It had a spiced price tag but as the power supply is crusial for the sound, I guess, I ordered a new from Moog.

I had a vintage Model D before and had a lot of tuning issues. It ended up I made MiniMoog sound with other synths instead due to calibration (the wholes at the rear) every time the temperature in the room changed a single degree.

Replaced it with a Voyager but I had wrong expectations and thought ...

Merry Christmas from a Model D ReIssue 2016 and some Lexicon PCM80

To me the whole thing with the Minimoog is the physical connection with the instrument. If I hadn't it I would probably go for one of Behringer's Model D clones that are not very much more expensive than a premium plugin.

Soft synths are great in other ways to use synthesizers and there are many ...

They both would sound and play great. Either one would be sonically sensational. I know they can sound different and do sound different. I guess I would go with the voyager since it has presets and all the modulation capabilities and the dual stereo low high pass filter. I’ve played a model D when ...

In general I think it’s more common with the classic Model D among collectors and the Re-issue Model D among musicians that require reliable tools. And of course some are, as I am, musicians and collectors.

If it’s for owning the history of an icon I would go for the classic Model D. If it’s for ...

Sorry to hear the accident with your Voyager. When my Voyager was new I tripped on a cord before a concert connected to my laptop that fell over it. Some minor scratches, normally not much to feel bad about but when it was brand new not that exciting. Today I can’t tell where those scratches were ...

Actually never thought of it before. Was playing around with it: Different waveforms gives different pulses. Together with filter, noise etc some interesting pulsating sounds such heart beats (realistic with the resonance controlling the opening/closing). With the mod wheel an unhealthy heart beat ...

I have no good vibes from Soundtower from the past due to non existing costumer support. It felt like they were only interested of my credit card, not of me as costumer - wasted money.

You can use free sysex programs such SysEx Liberian, make your own folders and organize your sounds there. To use ...

As far as I l’m aware 1.8 is the latest firmware. In thar case no firmware update is needed.

No, it was a local Swedish artist during the time recording studios still were populated by men in white coats. Even if I’m not into jazz I can’t deny the greatness of Herbie and Joe Zawinul as synth performers.

To derail this thread completely: Speak of white coats, that is something I can ...

As far I'm aware of the additional mod features XLs has is a built in VX-351, CP-251, a ribbon control and a larger keyboard. All that can be added to a standard Voyager but is of course very nice to have in one unit. And it looks gorgeous.

I have made sounds on my (non XL) Voyager that is very ...

I have mixed feelings about the Minimoog Model D app and Moog’s other apps.

I’m happy everybody have virtual access to these classic instruments, including myself.

At the other hand I have question marks in the context of the legacy of Moog that is an important part of Moog Music today. The ...

Slightly off topic, but I hate to start a new thread for this since it's regarding the pitch wheel. Can anyone tell me what the approximate range of pitch bend is on their reissue? Mine is somewhere between 9-10 semitones bending up and between 7-8 semitones bending down . . . not exactly ideal in ...
