i’m new to the forum and I want to ask you a little help for a problem I have with my Voyager. I’ve bought this moog months ago from a guy via eBay and during the shipment has been damaged. The Volume Decay potentiometer is cracked so no values is sent to the unit and the third oscillator is simply weird.
yes.. unless factory init preset involve noise modulation already on and, as i’ve said, sometimes this oscillator begin to work flawlessly but this happens rarely :\
I think that you can find pots from synthesizers.com or you can probably contact Kevin lightener on this forum for Minimoog style pots, but im not sure who makes the same pots that the voyager uses.

I want to call you Lucca Brazzi from the godfather movie lolol.
Just look at the pot. Its data is printed on it.
So if time is not the critical matter, unplug and open the Voyager to chech the pot for its data. Then get a new pot of the same value and response curve and the same kind orientation of the soldering pins (to the opposite of the pot shaft)
But you need at least some soldering skills to change the pot. Maybe ask some electronic repair job to do the unsoldering and soldering of the new pot. If you tell them what you need to do, the don’t need to have experience in synths. And I think there is no need for recalibration after changing such an UI pot.
Good luck !
as far as I remember, the first time i’ve take a look to the pot, I haven’t find any clue. I will check it once again. Fortunately, I can replace the pot by myself but i’m clueless about how to check the cause of the third oscillator issue.
The Mouser pot looks like a close match, but just to be safe, I’d contact Amos and ask him if it would work. E-mailing him will get you a faster response than PM’ing him. Amos [at] m00gmusicD0t cOM is his e-mail. Good Luck!
