I just recveid my Moog Logo T-shirt today. It’s not much I know, but it’s a cool looking shirt. Plus it’s one of the few products that Moog sells, that I can afford. ![]()
Live in hope. Owning a Moog synth seemed like an unattainable dream to me once. Now it’s one of several dream instruments I play daily.
Welcome to the club. ![]()
I too hope to own a Moog Synth Someday.
yeah, i think i had a t-shirt to start too. since then, i’ve owned a opus 3, and now have a source, sonic six & mg-1… and i dont plan to ever stop expanding. Maybe i should just sell it all towards a voyager? or not… ![]()
Honestly, yes you should.
Those are all great synths, but they don’t hold a candle to the Voyager in my opinion (though the Source is the coolest looking synth ever made). When it comes down to it, I can say that I would rather have a Voyager than ALL the other Moog monosynths.
I would love to own just one Moog synth. Provideid I can find one at a farily reasonable price, and not one that 30 other people have found too.
I have decided to save up for a Minimoog Voyager.
you should save up for two and give one to me ![]()
lol
Omeed. Would you beleive, that someone actually said it would be a waste of money to buy one. Something about, I would become bored and loose interest in it, after two weeks. Also said that owing one keyboard just for the heck of owning one didn’t make much sense. That and, the fact, I used to buy and sell keyboards a lot, becuse I became frustrated with them. Plus was going about this blind. No idea what I wanted. There is however something about the Voyager that speaks to me, even though I have not played one.
i think at this point, there’s a voyager in almost every Guitar Center store out there. Shouldnt be too hard to get your hands on one for a test drive. I actually need to go back and ‘browse’ a bit longer.
They are in Guitar Center you say? I thought Moog was only selling these to independent music stores, and not the chains?
Unless something has changed, you won’t find Moog products at GC.
Analog - Check out Washington Music Center (AKA Chuck Levins) in Wheaton. They stock Moog products and can order anything for you.

I forgot they sell moog products. But, everytime I go in there I never get any help? I don’t know if I should go ask or what? At GC the salespeople come to you. I mean what gives? I alwyas got an uncomfortable feeling everytime I went in to Washington Music. It’s as if no one really wanted to help me, either that or I don’t look like a serious muscian. Maybe I’m just being parinoid. ![]()
Guitar Center Boston has a Voyager set up to play right in the middle of the keyboard dept. I played it on Nov 19th… and yes the salesmen there will POUNCE on you as soon as you walk in… they’re like that. haha
all the moogers and voyager gear is available through Musicians Friend.com, which is the same co. as GC.
I actually prefer when salesman DONT come up to me. If I need them I’ll ask. I’d rather see what its about and look for myself.
Good Point!
Do ask someone to show you how to take it from patch mode to panel edit mode, though, so you can try the supplied patches and also explore the synth more fully.
Maybe edit the supplied patches first (they can be fully edited), but the position of the knobs only affects the sound when you change one, so it may seem confusing at first.
Also make sure the mod wheel hasn’t been left half-way up when you try the patches. If that sounds like I’m being too basic, it’s worth mentioning that I made that mistake and had tried a few patches that sounded wildly over modulated until I noticed the wheel was half up. And I’ve been playing synths since the 1970s. It’s easily done.
I knew what the synth was capable of, but for a minute there I thought the progammers had gone a bit berserk.
Thanks Sweep!
Okay I just stoped by Guitar Center in Rockville, Maryland and they do not have the Voyager. However they do carry the Polyevolver. Unfortuneatly everything in GC is outrageously over priced in my opinion. I did not stay in there to long though got a bad feeling.
Greg, I went to Washington Music, and they do carry the Voyager, but I had to get out of the store quickly. I was getting a really bad vibe from that place. I did not see one friendly sales person in the whole store. Everyone in there seems very cold an unfeeling to me. Maybe, I’m being Parinod, but as soon as I left and made it back to Frederick I was fine.
Thats actually when I have fun. Kind of like…
You dont want me here? Well, first I’ll try this thing out…loud. Then, I’m going to call every 13 year old I know that DOESN"T play guitar and invite them in to try one out in your store.
