I need something to do while my MemoryMoog is being serviced..
Would you rather have:
A)An 8 voice One
B)8 polychained Voyager RME’s
Financial difference irrelevant.
Sound wise, feel wise, feature wise, power wise, etc. Which would you rather have, and why?
Daft Punk toured with many Voyagers and I’m not certain whether they utilized them as poly synths, however. My experience of polychaining analog monosynths wasn’t worthwhile in the end. The sounds become muddy and it’s difficult to match the synth’s sounds.
I’d probably go with the one, for ease of control. Although it would be a fascinating experiment to see what you could do with 8 RME?
Would it be best to actually polychain them, or use a midi splitter instead, fed from a keyboard controller?
With a good controller you could send bank & cc commands to all of them.
With a MIDI splitter, the eight RMEs would play unison. You need something to handle the assignment of polyphonic played notes to the different RMEs. So polychaining is the easiest way. Or find some MIDI tool (soft or hardware) to do this using 8 parallel MIDI outputs.
Ah, yes something like a MIDI BRO, or MIDI MUSO which is CV
Actually the MUSO would work with polychaining moog modulars, since it’s CV. I wonder if anyone has tried that yet?
Two other candidates:
Cool!
Once I get my system 35, 55, model 10 & model 15, I’ll give that a shot 
Haha 
Curiously enough, that MidiVolts may be even rarer than any ofthe Moog modulars!
