I want to be able to sync my analog sequencer on my modular to MIDI. I am using my Voyager and a 351 as the interface to my modular. Here is what I am doing, but it isn’t working.
MIDI clock being sent to Voyager
Voyager connected to 351
Voyager LFO set to MIDI sync - use square wave out put
Voyager LFO sent to clock divider on analog sequencer (originally set to 1 division)
At fast LFO speeds, I don’t notice a sync. At low speeds, the LFO doesn’t seem to move at all, though if I do take the Voyager off MIDI sync, it is active.
Does the Voyager handle MIDI sync different than I think? Is what I am trying possible?
The sync of the LFO is not syncing the cycle frequency.
The sync is reseting the waveshape.
NOT MATCHING THE FREQUENCY !!!
But in your setup the LFO will either be to fast or to slow. If it is to fastm the analog sequencer is ruuning at the to fast speed.
At the to slow speed it won’t move at all because the resetting of the LFO waveshape is not changing the LFO voltage at all. The only working resunlt should be in the LFO range just a bit to fast till the nearly the double speed.
Anyway, using the Voyager as syncroniser is an expensive thing.
better get a Midi to DIN sync converter for this type of application.
Yeah I know the Voyager is kind of expensive to use as a MIDI-CV interface. It is just too cool to have the touch pad, an extra set of envelopes, a few more oscillators, pressure… It makes a wonderful front end/extra set of voices for a modular. It is a shame the MIDI sync wont accomplish what I want because then it would be perfect.
If you ever have the chance to integrate a Voyager into a modular set up, I think you will see how wonderful the combo is. It is a shame that MIDI clock is not available on the 351.
