thank you so much for your help everybody…i appreciate the help… 
What was the solution?
well, amos from moog said to have the volume envelope set as
0 attack
0 decay
full sustain
0 release
once i did that i all of a sudden got sound coming out…so i must not have had something tweaked just right…of course he had me make sure the external switch in the mixer was set to ON and that the env gate was set to on/external…those two things i had already done but it was the volume envelope that really sealed the deal i think…as i said before, i am a complete newbie at this so i’m not at full understanding of what the actual parameters do on the voyager except make stuff sound weird…so i followed everything amos said and i heard the glorious sound of my tele and sg through the moog…
I would recommend to read the Manual from front to back.
And if you have questions about what you read there, you know where to post them.
