Do it!
You obviously have an affinity with it!
The Little Phatty, the DSI Polyevolver Keyboard and my Yamaha VL-1 are the only keyboards I have now - I only kept the “high quality” ones!

BTW - The LP works great with the PEK!

i totally agree, they both sound very different and unique, and they compliment each other beautifully. ![]()
The lightshow is just icing on the cake ![]()
The UI is as ergonomic and quick to tweak as it is beautiful!

I think you’re going to find a lot of people out there who prefer the LP over the Voyager, as people tend to lean towards more simplistic designs with synthesizers in general. There’s a reason why the most talked about analog’s of the past are usually the most straightforward: Minimoog, Prodigy, SH-101, MS-20, Odyssey, Pro-One, etc., etc.
I love modulars as much as anyone, but with the exception of a few select styles of music, most people simply need sounds that work within the context of some form of melodic and structured pop, and a two oscillator analog will almost always get the job done for anyone but the most critical.
Its not that I particularly disliked anything about the Voyager, its just that it was quite a bit more than a Performance Monosynth and quite a bit less than a full Modular Synth.
Carbon,
To me, this statement is kind of profound. It is exactly my feeling, but I was never able to put it into words. It is one of the reasons I never spent $3,000 on a Voyager.
While I find the scope of sound sculpture on the LP somewhat limiting (and that is not a knock–it is what it is, and it does what it does beautifully), it is a great little performance synth, with presets, and the Moog Sound. That is exactly what I wanted in the LP and it is exactly what I got–not to mention that it is just beautiful to look at. By birthday is coming up, and I plan to get a CP-251 to add to the LP. That will open up the sonic palate a bit.
I have constantly gone back and forth about the purchase of a Voyager, or a beginning modular system (probably synthesizers.com). One day I lean one way, and the next day I lean another. I wonder how much I will use a modular–I used to own an ARP 2600, and I never came even close to using it to it’s potential. Very simple patches or even the pre-wired ones.
I plan on traveling up to Renton next weekend for the synthesizer get together. Hopefully, this will give me some hands on modular experience to see if a modular is “me” or not. Are you going to be there??
No matter what, however, someday, I think that a Voyager is in my future. I don’t really need it to expand the sounds that I am already capable of. I just love Moogs! ![]()

Yes! I’ll be there - I’ll probably be bringing the LP…and maybe my modular. ![]()
I look forward to seeing you there!

I hope that I can make it. My son plays college basketball and it is not uncommon for his team to have some Saturday Scrimmages against other teams that come on very short notice. Practice starts this weekend, and I am betting that they may have a scrimmage on the 21st. I never miss his games, so if they have a scrimmage, I will have to miss the synth symposium. ![]()
I will keep my fingers crossed as I really want to check out some modulars!!
Anybody in the Seattle, WA area interested in synthesizers should check it out! The Annual Northwest Synthesizer Meeting:

Even if you don’t have something to bring, its fun to come look. ![]()
Each day with the LP just gets better and better. The sound is phenominal! Its exactly the “missing piece” the studio needed.
